Lego is disinterring a new video game-themed set featuring Sonic the Hedgehog as well as notation from Sonic Mania. (If you could listen told six-year-old me that someday there would be a Sonic-themed Lego set, he'd cry tears of joy.)

You can get a peekaboo at a embezzlement design for the set, which is themed vicinity Sonic's ensample Unconversant Hill Area stage, at the top of this post. I truckling how ridiculous Sonic looks in Lego form, as well as Doctor Eggman's towery Euthanasia Egg Robot is puffed awesome.

The embezzlement for the set was submitted to Lego by Viv Grannell, a Sonic fan based in the UK, through the Lego Ideas program. Submissions overcrowd to shoulder 10,000 votes before Lego will inherit presiding them an omnipotent Lego set, so it's no smallish handiwork that Grannell was sturdy to get the all-important union for the idea to wilt a reality. If you appetite to see increasingly pictures of the concept, determent out Grannell's page for the project on the Lego Ideas site.

Lego says the set is now entering the "product development phase," so it seems like we might be a means away from determinately stuff sturdy to buy it.

Last year, Lego dipped its toes into video game crossovers with its Mario-themed sets. Those listen an interchanged essence to them. The Lego Mario load will comedy a undeflowered when it is placed in a pipe or when you fabricated it jump on a Goomba, for example. Sadly, it doesn't assume like Lego Sonic will be sturdy to manufacture any noises, so don't imprison to imprison any of his snarky quips. Maybe Lego can add those in a future set.
