LEGO content will be added to Sonic Superstars featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman minifigs. Pre-ordering the game now gives players access to an exclusive Dr. Eggman character skin. A trailer showing the Sonic and Eggman minifigs in action can be seen below:
It is currently not clear as to what this LEGO content in Sonic Superstars will entail. While the trailer showcases Sonic and Eggman minifigs, it’s only the Eggman one that is currently confirmed as a character skin at the time of writing. Hopefully the DLC will extend to more than just character skins but we’ll have to wait and see.
Sonic Superstars launches in Autumn 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC.
It appears that the Sonic LEGO Ideas Set from last year was quite the hit because LEGO have gone and announced a whole raft of new Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO play-sets.
The iconic Green Hill Zone loop is available as a play-set which includes a “speed sphere” that can house a Sonic mini-fig. The speed sphere is used in conjunction with a launcher to fire Sonic round the loop. Tails’s workshop, the Tornado and a matching Tails mini-fig are also available, alongside an Amy Rose mini-fig and an animal rescue island play-set. It appears we’re also being teased with the prospect of a Dr. Eggman play-set as well. Check out the reveal trailer by clicking the embed below:
There is currently no word on a release date or when the play-sets will be available for pre-order at the time of writing.
Today on our YouTube channel we have a very special guest review from friend of the website Alan Williamson. Alan has put together a wonderful, detailed review of the new Sonic the Hedgehog LEGO Ideas set and goes through the build in detail. Check it out via the embed below:

After a couple of years garnering support and going through a slew of approval processes, the final verdict from LEGO themselves on Viv Grannell (also known as toastergrl)’s concept for a LEGO set based on 2017’s Sonic Mania is here; and it’s happening!
Via the latest LEGO Ideas submissions review, the house of many colourful bricks has confirmed they are now working with SEGA to make a full LEGO Sonic set a reality. This is right on cue for the 30th Anniversary, and hot on the heels of the company’s collaboration with a certain plumber last year, so the timing is perfect. It’s really great to see all of Viv’s effort and patience pay off, and you can bet that we’ll be first in line to pick up one of these sets for ourselves once it’s released.
From LEGO themselves:
The review board has given Viv Grannell’s (aka toastergrl on LEGO Ideas) Sonic Mania – Green Hill Zone the green light. We’re excited to collaborate with SEGA and Viv to bring one of the most iconic game characters and brands to life via LEGO bricks on the basis of Viv’s colourful and fun creation. Congrats Viv!
Obviously there’s no timeframe for the product just yet, but we can’t wait!

Sonic the Hedgehog will be making his way into Lego Dimensions. A new trailer that confirms additions for the second year of the game’s existence has revealed that Adventure Time, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, E.T. and most importantly, Sonic the Hedgehog himself will be playable in the game. This obviously means a Lego mini-fig of Sonic is also in the works. Check out Sonic’s reveal in the below trailer:
There are no details as to what Sonic’s appearance in Lego Dimensions fully entails. We don’t know whether Sonic’s addition will come as a part of a story pack, level pack, team pack or fun pack and we don’t know what additional characters from the Sonic franchise will also be appearing. The above artwork does hint that Sonic’s vehicle might be the Tornado if that little bi-plane next to Voldemort is anything to go by. We’ll update this story with more details as we get them.
