Some of you may know me from other LEGO sites so you'll know I have a good experience of the LEGO community and a deep, passionate commitment to all things LEGO. Sellers are responsible for following applicable laws and regulations, including posting items with accurate labelling and warnings.

LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure and the brick and knob configurations are trademarks and/or copyrights of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this site. While the outcome is satisfying enough, I found the way to get there unexpectedly difficulty and riddled with small hurdles. I specialize in seeking out the latest LEGO news and products, as well as being an expert on all things LEGO gaming. The arms have appeared in other sets such as the Unikitty, NEXO KNIGHTS and Angry Birds themes, but the ones each are available in new colours or with unique print detail.

But if for whichever reason they decided not to, they should at least include an idea of building something from the extra bricks. One of those is the 3 x 3 rounded skinny plate without which these models probably would not even have been possible. They are larger than Brickheadz, given that they are built on an 8 x 8 base rather than 6 x 6, but they are still not that huge. Considering it’s built with LEGO bricks, we can’t complain, but it does make me wonder if there’s another way to make the head seem a bit more smooth.

We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. I also had a small issue where a smaller interior part bag was heat-sealed into the edge of one of the larger “2” bags, but that was likely just a fluke. One of the things that became a bit annoying and literally also the reason why I built each character on a different evening is the tediousness of the actual build.
