77002: Cyclone vs. Metal Sonic Set Review
With the third Sonic movie due next month, January 1st will welcome three new LEGO® Sonic the Hedgehog sets. I have the privilege of being able to take a look at the new sets early and the one I’ll be focusing on in this preview is Cyclone vs. Metal Sonic. It’s one of only a couple of Sonic sets not to feature the Blue Blur but the lack of a certain speedy hedgehog is more than compensated for by the inclusion of another unique...
77000: Shadow The Hedgehog Set Review
The Sonic universe has added many weird and wonderful characters to its roster since the Blue Blur debuted in the ’90s. But one has oddly gained cult status since first appearing in Sonic Adventure 2 on the SEGA Dreamcast. Shadow the Hedgehog was generically engineered to be the Ultimate Life Form. The character would go on to star in his own game, which is best described as ‘Sonic with a gun’. This year has been...
76998: Knuckles & The Master Emerald Shrine Review
After the introduction of Tails in Sonic 2, Sonic Team needed a new character to appear in the third Sonic game. This led to the introduction of Knuckles the Echidna. The red-coloured monotreme hailed from Angel Island, where he stayed watch as the guardian of the Master Emerald, the foundation of power for the Chaos Emeralds. The once rival of Sonic, soon became an ally and has since gone on to appear in several games, the second...
76997: Tails’ Adventure Boat Set Review
The second of the new Summer Sonic sets is focused on Tails and his boat, the Sea Fox II. Like some of the past Sonic the Hedgehog sets, inspiration for this set is very, very loosely taken from the wider Sonic universe. Now the Sea Fox II doesn’t actually appear in any Sonic game, TV show or comic per se. It does, however, share its name with a similar seafaring vehicle, which was a nuclear sub piloted by Tails in the Game Gear...
76999: Super Sonic Vs. Egg Drillster Set Review
Dr Robotnik has a history of constructing various machines to inflict his evil plans. One such machine is the Egg Drillster, which first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. As the name would suggest, the Drillster features the ability to drill and is used by Dr Robotnik in one of these end-of-level battles with Sonic. It’s the latest of Robotnik’s creations to be recreated in LEGO form and appears alongside Super Sonic in...
76996: Knuckles’ Guardian Mech Set Review
LEGO® Sonic first raced onto the scene in TT Games’ toys-to-life game, LEGO Dimensions before being the subject of a 2022 LEGO Ideas set. LEGO fans loved Sonic so much that the LEGO Group joined forces with SEGA to release a series of playsets and BrickHeadz earlier this year. Sonic’s brick-built world is set to expand early next year as two more sets join the line-up and one of those upcoming sets features Knuckles and...
