Dr. Eggman himself accounted the news in his unique style:

Thank you all for giving that awful hedgehog a much-needed makeover.

Although you all have your opinion, there is only one opinion that counts – Mine!

I have a keen eye for excellence. Some of you can see the same excellence, others are clearly… misguided. Opening a Fan Vote to decide the winners could have been utter chaos.

I am thrilled to announce the winning entries. You can see these below this transmission. That hedgehog looks much more handsome, smarter… distinguished.

You’re welcome…

With a mind beyond your comprehension,

Dr. Eggman

P.S. I DESPISE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!

The prize pot is as always a very generous one with a ton of new LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog sets given away to the winner and runners-up. A massive congratulations to the winning entries, which you can see below.
