What reviewers are saying

"Overall 40628 Miles 'Tails' Prower is undoubtedly my favourite of the two Sonic-themed BrickHeadz released so far."

Brickset Reviews

"Sonic and Tails are as inseparable a pair as any pop culture duo, so it therefore makes a lot of sense for 40628 Miles "Tails" Prower to be released alongside 40627 Sonic the Hedgehog."

40627 Sonic the Hedgehog — 40628 Miles 'Tails' Prower is undoubtedly the reviewer's favourite of the two Sonic-themed BrickHeadz released so far. Although Sonic looks good on the whole, Tails includes greater detail with especially striking ears and more accurate spiky hair. The eyes on Tails are more appealing thanks to surrounding white pieces.

40627 Sonic the Hedgehog — Perfect companion piece with matching price point and inseparable pop culture pairing; Sonic and Tails fit together naturally in a BrickHeadz collection

40624 Alex — 40628 Tails has 131 pieces vs 86 pieces for Alex at the same price point

40625 Llama — 40628 Tails has 131 pieces vs 100 pieces for Llama at the same price point
