The Lego Sonic the Hedgehog set is finally here after months of waiting, complete with a 1,125-piece recreation of the Green Hill Zone stage, Lego-ized versions of Sonic villains, and a hero.

The Lego ideas Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set is a set that was suggested by Lego and Sonic fan Viv Grannell in early 2019. Lego conducted an official review of the project in March 2020 and greenlit the proposal for development into a real set in February 2021.

The design of the original set is very similar to the Lego design, and the details of the set include a checkpoint marker, a Technic-powered spring, and power-up crates.

Grannell's original proposed Idea set was more focused on Sonic Mania, with Lego versions of the game's villains, but the final set is taking a different direction.

The Lego Green Hill Zone retail set takes a less title-specific approach to recreating Green Hill Zone in Lego form, with the stage's Crabmeat and Moto Bug enemies and Dr. Eggman boss constructed out of bricks, instead of the more traditional minifigure design.

Sonic has appeared in Lego form before. The new minifigure version of Sonic has an updated design with additional details, like Sonic's sneaker buckles printed on the minifigure's feet.

The Sonic sets aren't intended as an interactive play set, unlike Lego's other recent video game partnership with Nintendo on Super Mario sets. Sonic's Lego debut is a purely brick-based creation. The set is intended to be modular, allowing fans to buy multiple copies to extend the level.

The Lego ideas Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set will be available in person at Lego stores and on the Lego website for $69.99 on New Year's Day. If you want to get a copy, you might want to take a cue from Sonic.
