Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone LEGO Set Coming Soon

Published Thu, 04 Feb 2021 11:59:57 -0600

LEGO has announced a partnership with SEGA as the new Lego Ideas Sonic the Hedgehog set picks up heat. LEGO Ideas is not a new concept, and we have seen quite a few sets come out of it recently, like 123 Sesame Street and Medieval Knights Blacksmith. The Ideas concept allows fans to submit their own ideas to the company, and if that concept can reach 10,000 supporters, the idea can be reviewed by experts. This is a fantastic program that allows fans to show their creative side with a possible end goal of getting their creation published. That happened with 24-year-old LEgo and Sonic superfan Viv Grannell as her Sonic Mania inspired Sonic the Hedgehog set is set to come to life.

The Sonic Mania Green Hill Zone LEGO Ideas creation is now set to go into the product development phase. SEGA is excited to see this collaboration come to life, and so will fans. The set beautifully captures the Green Hill Zone level from the 2017 game Sonic Mania that includes some great figures. Of course, we will be getting the debut of a Sonic the Hedgehog mini-figure as well as a Dr. Eggman, Hard-Boiled Heavies, and the power Egg Robot mech. Sonic comes to right in LEGO form that will please many older fans of the popular video series while adding something new for new Sonic and LEGO fans. There is no set released time or price yet, but fans can check out all the LEGO Ideas initiatives here.
