LEGO has today revealed a Shadow the Hedgehog bust set, which is set to be released on 1st October 2024.
Retailing for £59.99 / $69.99, the 720-piece kit features Shadow's head mounted on a stand with an attachable nameplate. It all sounds rather sinister when we write it out. Fortunately, the set features "Easter eggs hidden in both the head and the sturdy stand", so that takes the edge off it, right?
Here's the official blurb and a couple of snaps from the LEGO website:
- Sonic model for adults – Treat yourself or another video game fan with this detailed, collectible Shadow the Hedgehog gift set featuring a displayable model with special Easter eggs
- Build and display – This model kit features Shadow’s head with its iconic quills and a stand with a nameplate, plus various Easter eggs, including a Chaos Emerald and 3 Gold Rings, hidden in the build
- Rewarding challenge – Model-makers can immerse themselves in this detailed Sonic merch project as they build a model that is part of an iconic video game franchise
- Collectible Shadow the Hedgehog model – This buildable model set, designed for experienced model-makers, is a display piece that can be admired wherever it is
- Detailed display gift – This Shadow the Hedgehog LEGO® construction set is a fun Sonic gift idea for any video game fan who loves Shadow, or maybe just a treat for yourself to add to your collectionIntuitive digital instructions – The LEGO® Builder app features a digital version of the building instructions included with this set
- More gifts for adults available – This build-and-display model is part of the LEGO® Sets for Adults range, designed to deliver a rewarding and immersive escape for any model-making enthusiast
- Measurements – This 720-piece build-and-display set features the head of Shadow the Hedgehog on a stand and measures over 8 in. (20 cm) high, 7 in. (17 cm) wide and 8.5 in. (21 cm) deep
Honestly, we're not blown away by the design of this one. Sure, it's always nice to see some more grown-up LEGO models, but compared to the upcoming Deku Tree set or the recently revealed Super Mario World one, this bust looks a little goofy. Hey, at least it's a fraction of the price...

Yeah, kind of a weird concept for a Lego set and personally I'd rather get the other Sonic ones but still, hope those who will get it will enjoy it!
LMAO
A shadow of his former self. This looks hideous.
Well, that looks absolutely horrendous.
Eggman said to execute sonic, but made a typo.
A full model would've been so much better. This one gives me LEGO Yoda vibes. It's a bit unnerving and ugly at the same time.
I didn’t know Lego made PEZ dispensers.
That looks AWFUL! 😩
For a second, I thought it was an ugly PEZ dispenser.
When I step on a Shadow the Hedgehog LEGO piece:
Bro that isn’t shadow that’s shade!
It honestly looks awful like if it was 12 heck 20 at most k would consider it but no way am I getting that mess for 60! Literally for two ish dollars less if not the same price you could get the Lego Piranha Plant which looks infinitely better then shade over here.
Oh my...... This is original sonic movie design levels of awful
HE'S BEEN DECAPITATED! XD
Seriously though what were they thinking?
SEGA doesn't what Nintendoes.
Nothing personnel, kid
Gotta go nowhere cuz he's got no legs
@chiefeagle02 @Solomon_Rambling You’ll never convince me that isn’t a Pez dispenser, I was wondering if it actually came with little Lego Pez to dispense, the flat 2 pieces are just about the right size.
Also this thing should be $29.99 tops and I still wouldn’t buy it, even if it came with real Pez. I have a few Pez dispensers in my collection.😁
Very strange design
Lego builders were so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
Worst Lego award goes to....
I mean, it looks like something I made! Surely they could do better?
"Sonic model for adults" did I read that right? Is it why it only has a head?
Or maybe it's rated R because Lego murdered Shadow to preserve their precious partnership with Nintendo.
Help all I see is a Pez head
Um that looks like a kid trying to draw Shadow from memory
I have collected Lego for a while, and this is probably the worst design I've seen in a long long time. I was going to say it looks like someone tried to create this from memory, and saw that @metroidprimed just beat me to it. haha
Has science gone too far?
They'll have to pay me to own that thing.
This takes me back to the days of the fan Lego projects, so in that sense, it’s kind of nostalgic.
It’s also hideous.
Shadow can't catch a break.
That looks absolutely horrid.
At this point LEGO might as well roll with it and relaunch it as a PEZ model.
Um people can stop making fun of Mario Lego now.
Does not look good
Not a fan but this isn’t a crazy new thing for Lego, they’ve been making superhero heads for ages and they all look kinda like this. They have a Wolverine hand currently for sale.
I will say though these kind of sets, much like the Mario play sets, often look better in person than in pictures. I still don’t like the superhero ones I’ve seen in the Lego store but they do look more convincing up close. And busts of characters has been a thing for decades because it’s been a thing in art for centuries. Yeah they usually include the shoulders but not always. But this is really just a Lego take on that.
Look at you! You who were once so proud...
