LEGO BrickHeadz set 40628 Miles "Tails" Prower depicts Sonic’s fox companion in the stylised BrickHeadz format. Released in 2023, the set contains 131 pieces and does not include any separate minifigures.
Miles "Tails" Prower brings the Sonic character into the BrickHeadz design language, using a compact body, a squared head and brick built identifying details. The set sits in the BrickHeadz root theme, alongside character models that rely on colour, proportions and a few recognisable features rather than minifigure scale representation.
The build is focused on a single model made from 131 pieces.
The set is suited to BrickHeadz collectors, Sonic fans and builders looking for a small character model to display. Within the BrickHeadz theme, it is best viewed as a licensed character entry rather than a generic figure, making it easy to place alongside other models that use the same stylised construction approach.
