New licensed characters are being made into Lego brick form this year. Heading to retail in August is the new Lego Sonic the Hedgehog product range. Sonic fans will be able to build, create and play as Sonic, Tails, Amy and Dr. Eggman in levels including Sonic’s Speed Sphere, Tails’s Workshop & Tornado Plane, Amy’s Animal Rescue Island and the iconic Green Hill Zone. The Lego Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration features four sets of different sizes and complexity with modular elements inviting Sonic fans to build high-velocity obstacles for Sonic to blast through as he battles the Badniks and rescues his friends. Sonic fans can get creative and construct their own unique courses, combine sets and invent new storylines.

The Lego Group has also announced that the Lego Super Mario franchise is expanding to introduce the Nintendo gaming icon, Donkey Kong, along with Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Dixie Kong, for the first time ever in Lego brick form. The four new products include Donkey Kong’s Tree House Expansion Set, Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride Expansion Set, Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam Expansion Set and Rambi the Rhino Expansion Set. The Lego Super Mario Donkey Kong Expansion Sets offer fans a new Donkey Kong inspired world to explore and new adventures to take on. The new Donkey Kong Expansion Sets and characters can also interact with Lego Mario, Lego Luigi and Lego Peach.
