LEGO® Ideas Hedgehog Spikes Its Way Into Review (No, It's Not Sonic)!

Not every LEGO® Ideas success is a castle or a car. Sometimes it’s a spiky little ball of charm. Dockan’s Hedgehog project just cleared the 10,000-supporter line, which means it’s officially under review by LEGO®.

More Nature Than Nostalgia

Unlike most Ideas projects that lean on pop culture or architecture, this one takes a detour into the natural world. The hedgehog sits at nearly life-size scale, with a focus on shape and texture. No gimmicks, no functions, just a display model that looks like it could shuffle off the shelf at any moment.

Spikes, Shapes, and Headaches

According to Dockan, the toughest part was nailing those distinctive quills. Each one is carefully arranged to give the creature its trademark look. The head and paws are articulated so you can pose the figure, while a clear support brick keeps the whole thing from collapsing under its own complexity. If building Rivendell’s roof tiles tested your patience, good luck with this forest of spikes.

A Cute Contender

The Hedgehog joins the growing queue for the next LEGO® Ideas review. Whether it makes the cut is uncertain, but the message is clear: bricks aren’t just for cities or spaceships. They can also capture nature in surprisingly realistic ways.

Would you want this LEGO® Hedgehog prowling your display case, or do you think animals should stay in the wild instead of the shelf?
