February 4, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced that the Sonic Mania – Green Hill Zone project by toastergrl has been approved by LEGO Ideas and will become an official set. It was held over from the First 2020 Review Results for further evaluation and will now go into the product development phase. The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will celebrate its 30th anniversary in June so we’ll see if the set will be available by then. Check out the press release below.

LEGO IDEAS® ANNOUNCES A SUPERSONIC FAN DESIGN CREATION: SONIC MANIA™ GREEN HILL ZONE

LEGO Ideas® today announced they will be bringing SEGA’s® legendary speedster, Sonic the Hedgehog™, to brick form, thanks to a concept design submitted by 24 year-old, UK based, LEGO® superfan Viv Grannell. Viv, also a passionate Sonic fan, created her design as a submission to the LEGO Ideas® platform, a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality.

Viv’s design was inspired by SEGA’s critically acclaimed 2017 platformer experience Sonic Mania™, and features iconic characters and environments from the game’s Green Hill Zone level. Once the design was completed, it achieved the prerequisite 10,000 votes from LEGO fans worldwide – before being greenlit to go into production by the LEGO Group.

Talking about the winning idea, Viv Grannell said; “I’ve been invested in the world of Sonic for almost my entire life, and it’s such a perfect fit for the LEGO system that I spent about a year rallying support for it to happen.
