The Eggman Robot Battle Set from Jakks Pacific
It’s rare for me to want to mention honest-to-goodness toys here, particularly the stuff that Jakks Pacific puts out, but I’ll make an eggception for this Eggman Robot Battle Set based on
Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It’s so cool. I mean it. You’ve got to see it in action.
As much as an advertisement for a children’s product is going to do everything in its power to make the toy seem fun as hell, I really do like the idea of launching a curled-up Sonic with a catapult, nailing the boss three times in the chest, and watching it crumble.

Lego is announcing a new video game-themed set featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and characters from
Sonic Mania. (If you could have told six-year-old me that someday there would be a Sonic-themed Lego set, he’d cry tears of joy.)
You can get a look at a concept design for the set, which is themed around Sonic’s classic Green Hill Zone stage, at the top of this post. I love how ridiculous Sonic looks in Lego form, and Doctor Eggman’s towering Death Egg Robot is just awesome.
Green Hill Zone, complete with LEGO shuttle loops, badniks, and the frickin’ Death Egg Robot from
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that I struggled to beat back in the day. Seriously, y’all made kids fight Mecha Sonic AND the Death Egg Robot with ZERO rings?! My 9-year-old self was STRESSED.
My adult self, however, is incredibly charmed by Grannell’s concept, and thrilled to see that it got the green light!
I’ll have a “proper” pinned tweet summarising everything in a few hours but my brain is coming out of my ears and my twitter notifs have completely exploded, love yalls gang – this would have been impossible without you ❤
