LEGO Expands Sonic the Hedgehog Collection with Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge Minifigs Reveal
The collaboration between LEGO and SEGA’s iconic Sonic the Hedgehog franchise continues to delight fans, with the recent unveiling of new minifigures for Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge set to expand the already popular LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog theme.
Launching in early 2023, the LEGO Sonic lineup built upon the blue blur’s storied history with brick-based adventures, from his initial appearance in LEGO Dimensions to the critically acclaimed LEGO Ideas Green Hill Zone set.
These collaborations bring together two entertainment giants—LEGO and SEGA—bridging the worlds of video games and collectible toys in ways that resonate deeply with fans. Until now, LEGO’s Sonic the Hedgehog sets have included minifigures for staple characters such as Sonic, Tails, and Amy, as well as a larger Dr.
Eggman figure.
While these offerings have been met with enthusiasm, the absence of several well-loved figures from Sonic's extended cast has not gone unnoticed.
Addressing this, LEGO recently debuted an official video through their @LEGO_Group Twitter account, teasing the addition of Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge minifigs slated for future release. The reveal video, featuring LEGO's signature humor, playfully suggested the team is aware of fan demand and is actively working to fill these character gaps.
LEGO noted, "The team is working hard to fix this matter as fast as possible," underscoring their commitment to bringing more Sonic favorites to the LEGO universe. The expansion of the LEGO Sonic theme follows the commercial success of previous sets like the LEGO Ideas Green Hill Zone, which launched in January 2022 and received positive reviews for its faithful recreation of the beloved level.
Sonic’s enduring popularity, bolstered by high-profile game releases across platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and digital storefronts like the Nintendo eShop, cements the franchise as a prime candidate for ongoing LEGO partnerships. Fans of both LEGO and Sonic can expect further updates regarding pricing, set design, and release dates for the Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge minifigs as LEGO releases more details.
For collectors and gamers, this latest development signifies a continued recognition of the rich character roster integral to the legacy of Sonic the Hedgehog. As LEGO continues to blend its iconic bricks with beloved gaming franchises, the Sonic the Hedgehog theme stands out as a testament to the lasting appeal and cross-industry success of video game merchandise.
