![]() ![]() It was a little parts-count heavy, but was dripping with character and had the visuals refined to polishing point. I voted for this project under an account I lost the login information and email account to in the years hence, and was very sad to see it expire at 1,367 supporters. Unfortunately, none of these projects ever really set the world on fire in a way which had a chance to reach 10k until 2017's "Sonic The Hedgehog: Green Hill Zone Modular Level Set" by megaMit. The rejection of the above concept must have really put a damper on things for a while, because projects only start appearing again in June 2016 - the year of the Dimensions partnership coming to light, removing the conflict! There are a bunch of small concepts with lots of love put into them - several Green Hills, but also a gorgeous-looking action figure, a solid rendition of the Tornado, and a number of boss battles and character-focused pieces quickly created and iterated upon by JackSparrow5432 in short order! Unfortunately, the age of this concept works against it - it was made during the era in which another company held the building toy license, and so was archived at 1,003 supporters. The truth of the matter is that the first project to appear on the platform based on the Sonic series, as far as my research has shown, is 2012's "Sonic the Hedgehog (Green Hill Zone)" by user This project is so old that it doesn't even show up on their account page's personal list of entries! It predates the LEGO Dimensions partnership, and this is evident in the brick-built construction they employ for Sonic himself. In some interviews, I've said that there was only one project before this one came along that got anywhere substantial - but I didn't realise that when LEGO CUUSOO became LEGO Ideas, some projects' data was lost, damaged, or otherwise made inaccessible from the site's Search function. As we look forward, let us also look backwards - to see how far we've come. This is the futhest any Sonic concept has gotten on the Ideas platform, and I am so thankful for the love and support that has been shown for it - but it wasn't the first. And, at risk of resurfacing ancient internet memes, over nine thousand people have come together to help make the concept real. So much has happened, hasn't it? It's incredible. PS: congrats to the Indiana Jones Trilogy vignette for reaching 10k (we'll be joining you soon.) and special thanks to just2good sharing the project on Twitter! ^u^ Things have been rocketing up with Sonic's trademark speed, and I dunno what to say about that except thank you all so very, very much, and I love you all. ![]() The project's so close to the final goal, with less than 333 people to go. If you're wondering where the 95% supporter update is: After the 90% update, I'm not sure I have anything else to contribute. His name is Dave Lite, and he's a very creative member of a Sonic community I frequent - so it was very appreciated when he showed up to surprise me with this. it's MAGICAL and I'm screamin' over here, and y'all have absolutely gotta see this too!! Someone loving the project enough to put this much care and attention into a traditional painted yet digital artstyle. I just got this exceedingly wonderful, downright GORGEOUS piece of art, and I'm bamboozled.
