Lego Sonic The Hedgehog
With a Green Hill Scene! After having several polls and fan things done, Lego decided to make an official set for Sonic. They're starting with GHZ, which is probably expect-able (though Mania probably also would have worked) It has rings, Crabmeat, Moto-Bug, a palm,
This costs 69.99, but it has well over 1,000 pieces to build so that is probably to be expected. It's a big set!
Lego Fans Notice: The set seems to have a peg of some kind to join up to something else...does that mean they're planning other zones if this one sells well? Hopefully so. Discovered by Taaron
The right side photo is Lego's own, they show what it looks like when it's built and set up just like the box. There's a little stand for the egg o matic, and it also reveals that it comes with some kind of...black bar stand thing that holds all 7 tiny chaos emeralds. Also with the photo you can see it seems they did get the colors right, and that there is probably a little place on it to attach the Sonic figure.
Where do the little animals go after they're freed from the badnicks? Lego makes a perfect place for them with this tropical treat of a set. There are 388 pieces here and it includes the Tails and Amy minifigures, as well as some little animals (naturally) There's even an action element: when Amy hits the button with her hammer, the block tilts and it makes Crabmeat fall off to defeat it. (Why isn't this the same one as the GHZ one? It isn't bad, it's just different)
This looks like a fun set, and it should cost . It should also be sold in Target, at Lego shop online and probably in Lego retail stores too.
Should this land here or go straight to Mutant Gear? Well, they're here for now but Lego is really not up to much good with these things which are called "Brick Headz". You can build them but...why? It's like they're a bizzare abstract painting / cubist oddity made 3D. These don't even look like the characters and what's up with the crazy eyes? Those super tiny shrivelled 'hand clamps' or whatever they've got? Yeah I get 'limited parts' but there really ought to be a limit against these things. They're 10 dollars each.
This photo shows them at their announcement/reveal at the SDCC of 2023, in Lego's "Brickbuster Video" themed booth's Sonic section.
This bagged lego set is called "Kiki Coconut Attack" and it's a simple set that comes in a plastic bag, rather than a box. It has the pieces you need to build the pictured Kiki Monkey Badnick here, with the 'throw' coconut and also a fun flicky bird.
The bird is 1 solid piece so it is actually appropriately shaped, easy to tell instantly what it is, and it's also cute. Simple sets (the instructions are included on a paper inside) like this are a great way to introduce yourself or anyone to lego without it being complicated or expensive. This should be about 5 dollars and is confirmed at WalMart. These usually appear on hang tabs or aisle end-caps, sometimes among other bagged Lego sets & sometimes near the Sonic figures. This is a good idea & you really can't miss at 5 bucks.
This is supposedly the "Knuckles Mech Set" but.....like why? He never had this in any show, game, or otherwise? There's a million things to build out of Legos that were actually IN games or shows that people want but they spawned this super random like...punching suit walker thing? What about the Tornado Walker Tails built? Eggman's egg-o-matic-everything?
If you can get past it being a total hat-pull, you can spend 35 dollars to put together the 276 pieces of it. It does also seem to have a Rouge figure with her on a glider & the master Emerald in a stand. So...the punching character gets a large punching walker and the flying character gets a...flying vehicle. At least the redundancy is consistent? I have no idea.
This is to be set number 76996
It has the all-important Shadow figure, the bike from his game that you can build, a rhin-o-bot to build and an Eggman crossing gate with pop out action. Do you see that little white dot on the bot? It's an adorable Clucky!
When the panel is pushed on the side of the Eggman trap, the Shadow figure is released from behind the clear front thing (That you see popping off here) The Clucky is released from the badnick.
Lego's Brick Headz are back in a 2-pack with Knuckles and Shadow. And they're still...well debateable because like...do these really look much like the characters? They're wierd. Pointy eyes, no legs at all (it's just socks), kind of bumpy heads, like yeah the colors of the characters are present but these pieces are seemingly...not quite enough to give a good enough impression of them?
If someone likes these, the set will appear in January 2024
A work shop for building things is the perfect idea for a Lego set, so Tails Workshop is an excellent selection to add to the line up. With this, you can build a wall with accessories and work bench, the rolling tool box/kit, AND the Tornado airplane with spinning propeller and Tails logo. The figures can sit in the plane & the Sonic can stand on the wing like the games. It also comes with the Buzz Bomber (ss..soorta looks like the bee badnick) to fight, rings on clear stands and a little Clucky Chicken who sits on an adorable bed!
What makes this extra fun is the attention to little parts and details. Notice that the wrench can be held by the figures but also snaps to the tool drawer. There's a flower out front, the plane is actually really well done, and there are little gizmos and even (Are those cinnamon buns?) to eat. (The Tails is holding one, and there's another on the work bench, it's a white thing with a spiral on top--it is included but what is it supposed to be?) There's even an adjustable chair for the figures to sit or lie on.
This should be about 40 dollars, and available through the Lego.com website to all countries they sell to (so, not just for the USA which is great because this is a great set)
