The brand new Sonic Lego units had been one of many many bulletins made throughout this yr’s Sonic Central stream. Sega confirmed off so much in that presentation, so these units went beneath the radar in comparison with issues just like the DC Comics collaboration and new seems to be at video games like Sonic X Shadow Generations. However did y’all see these new units? A few of them I might take or depart, as they principally simply characteristic a Sonic character on a nondescript mech or car, however one among them is a recreation of a defining second from my childhood and it’s surprisingly low-cost (for a Lego set), so I’m contemplating dumping some money on the Tremendous Shadow vs. Biolizard set when it launches in 2025.
For those who aren’t caught up in your Sonic the Hedgehog lore, the Biolizard is the ultimate boss of Sonic Journey 2. This large reptile was a prototype for the Final Life Type, a title that might finally go to Shadow, Sonic’s angsty rival who debuted within the Dreamcast sport. Throughout the combat, each Sonic and Shadow tackle their golden “tremendous” kinds and battle the beast because it hurdles by means of area towards Earth. It’s fucking sick.
The precise gameplay is a bit irritating (as loads of issues in that Sonic period are), however the idea? Gorgeous. Passing the controller forwards and backwards between me and my brother as we swapped between Shadow and Sonic is a core reminiscence. Now, it’s been recreated in Lego kind for the (comparatively low-cost) worth of $44.99. The Shadow and Sonic mini-figures are commonplace fare, however the Biolizard is far more advanced. It’s made up of a number of items that break aside as you launch Sonic and Shadow into the beast, permitting you to recreate the ultimate boss combat in your house.
The Biolizard is ready to return in Sonic X Shadow Generations as a boss combat, which remixes Shadow’s first battle together with his predecessor to have a number of phases, moderately than the easy combat on Sonic Journey 2. Click on by means of to see the entire Lego set in all its glory.
