SEGA of America has teamed up with The LEGO Group to reveal the new Sonic vs. Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot building set and a new Sonic-themed expansion pack for the upcoming video game, Sonic Superstars, during the annual Sonic Central live stream.
The Sonic vs. Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot building set will feature Sonic the Hedgehog and his villainous enemy, Dr. Eggman. This 615-piece set is for kids ages 8 and up and is the fifth set in the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog line. It includes six Sonic the Hedgehog characters, Sonic’s speed sphere and launcher, and more.
The companies also unveiled an expansion pack in collaboration with Sonic Superstars, a 2D platforming game that features new abilities, worlds, and battle modes for all generations of Sonic fans. There will be Sonic-themed content for fans including LEGO Sonic and Eggman skins.
“Sonic Central is the perfect setting to introduce LEGO and Sonic fans to this amazingly villainous new set, and we can’t wait for Sonic fans of all ages to get their hands on the blue blur in LEGO brick form this summer,” says Frédéric Roland Andre, Designer at Tthe LEGO Group.
Ivo Gerscovich, Chief Business and Brand Officer at SEGA, adds, “Through our continued partnership with The LEGO Group, Sonic fans will be able to experience Sonic Superstars in brick form and also recreate favorite scenes with the recently announced Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot.”
