SEGA, Five Star Games and LEGO are celebrating Sonic Superstars and Sonic’s appearance in the game as a LEGO minifig by creating a life-sized LEGO Sonic. Created by one of the world’s leading LEGO brick artists and only LEGO Certified Professional (LCP) in the southern hemisphere, Ryan McNaught, aka Brickman, the LEGO Sonic will be unveiled at PAX AUS on 6 October 2023.
The enormous LEGO sculpture of Sonic took 103 hours to create and includes 25,807 LEGO bricks. LEGO Sonic will be on display at PAX AUS at the Melbourne Convention Centre.
Sonic Superstars will also be available for fans to play during the event.
Sonic Superstars – LEGO Sonic
Ryan ‘Brickman’ McNaught said, ““As an old school gamer, I remember playing the original sonic back in the 90s until our hands hurt from playing too much! So having the opportunity to bring one of our favourite video game characters to life with LEGO bricks is awesome and we can’t wait to share it with everyone. We’re all big gamers here at The Brickman, there was no way we would pass up an opportunity to build the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog!”
Darren Macbeth, Managing Director at Five Star Games said, “Bringing two iconic brands together to create such an eye-catching statue is a fantastic way to celebrate Sonic’s enduring appeal across more than just video games. Brickman has done a fantastic job in bringing Sonic to life in LEGO brick form and we can’t wait for gamers to see it for themselves when they join us at PAX AUS to play Sonic Superstars.”
Sonic Superstars launches on 17 October 2023 and players can unlock an exclusive in-game LEGO Eggman character skin by pre-ordering.
