Lego skins are also being added to Sonic Superstars.
Sega has introduced a new Lego Dr. Eggman set, one of five that will be released on August 1 as part of an event celebrating Sonic the Hedgehog’s 25th birthday.
Amy’s Animal Rescue Island, Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge, Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge, Tails’ Workshop, and Tornado Plane were all confirmed to arrive in August after Lego officially unveiled their second batch of Sonic the Hedgehog sets in April.
Two months after the initial announcement in April, in which a promotional film for a fifth Dr. Eggman-themed set was previewed, the full set has now been shown.
While the new set has yet to make its way to Lego’s online store, it has shown up under the moniker Sonic vs. Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot elsewhere on the Lego website. It features another Lego Sonic, a little robotic companion, and an Eggman minifigure inside his massive mech with shootable torpedoes and deadly spikes.
The accompanying description states, “The evil Dr. Eggman and his henchman, Cubot, are capturing animals to power up their innovations.” Sonic needs your help to save his animal friends, so please let him out of the speed sphere. You’ll need to avoid the spikes if you want to land a clean blow on Dr. Eggman and shut off his mech. Now that Dr. Eggman has been defeated, Sonic and his friends can visit the research station to gather information for their next mission.
The Lego Sonic vs. Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot set will be released on August 1, although a price and number of pieces have not yet been announced.
Sega has also announced that a Lego Dr. Eggman skin would be available for the upcoming Sonic Superstars video game. Pre-ordering the game before its release this fall on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC will net you this bonus.
