It’s been a few months now since another video game icon made his kinda-sorta Lego debut with the release of Lego set 21331 – Sonic the Hedgehog’s Green Hill Zone. Sonic might only have one set where Mario has many, but it’s a hell of a set.
Sonic actually made his true Lego debut in a video game – appearing in Lego Dimensions via a small expansion pack that unlocked a little in-game Sonic tribute. But now he’s made the jump to Lego proper with a real set courtesy of Lego Ideas, the website where fans can submit potential set designs for review by the bigwigs at Lego, the same service that has given hope of (and then swiftly killed) sets based on Zelda, Among Us, and Metroid. Lego ended up loving the Sonic set idea, took it to Sega, and it got a full release.
After a limited release as an exclusive at the official Lego Store, the Sonic set is now available in a wider release at, as the TV ads of my youth used to say, ‘all good toy stores’. You can now buy it everywhere, basically. Just in time for the release of the Sonic 2 movie.
