The LEGO Group has revealed a new LEGO Ideas Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set – a detailed LEGO brick representation of the iconic video game level.
The set has been conceived by LEGO superfan Viv Grannell through the LEGO Ideas platform, giving fans the chance to build a piece of gaming history.
Numerous Easter eggs have been incorporated into the 1,125-piece set including five minifigures – an updated version of Sonic, Crabmeat, Moto Bug, Dr Eggman and the Phantom Ruby. Also included are ten boxes of golden-coloured Rings and a Technic lever to spring Sonic and friends into the air, while fans can also earn a gem reward as the set is built.
The submission on the LEGO Ideas site reached the required 10,000 votes to be considered by the LEGO team to be made into reality.
“Just about anyone who has enjoyed video games on any level in the last 30 years, knows and loves Sonic – and has probably sped through the unforgettable Green Hill Zone with him,” commented Sam Johnson, LEGO designer. “We have designed this set to be just as colourful and fun as the in-game version of The Green Hill Zone, then filled it with lots of easter eggs and even prizes to help fans enjoy some of their most beloved gaming icons in a brand-new way.”
