Description
About this set
Here’s a brick-built version of the classic SEGA Genesis controller, made for Sonic fans. Flip it over and you’ll find a tiny Green Hill Zone scene built into the back, complete with Sonic and Crabmeat. A display stand lets you show it off two ways, and a sheet of regional stickers lets you customize the front.
It’s a fun build for adult gamers and a nice piece of game room decor. At 260 pieces, it’s a relaxing project rather than a marathon. The set is retiring, so a sealed one will only get harder to land as time goes on.
Highlights
- Brick-built SEGA Genesis controller with display stand
- Tiny Green Hill Zone scene built into the back
- Sonic and Crabmeat in the scene
- Regional stickers to customize the front
