11/3/2023 0 Comments Han solo carbonite brickheadzLet’s go ahead and get it out there: this isn’t Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. Very disappointingly, none of the BrickHeadz in this wave feature printed tiles on the bases, unlike the first 34 BrickHeadz. However, this isn’t quite the first time that Han has appeared as a BrickHeadz, having shown up last year in a carbonite slab as part of ultra-rare promo pack. It’s good to see some more old-school Star Wars characters in BrickHeadz form, even if they’re a little different than we all remember them. Each of the unique designs are printed on brown 1x2x2 bricks. Chewie hides a handful of brightly colored elements under all that brown fur, with red, white, blue, and orange elements all making appearances during the construction before being completed covered.Ĭhewie also features two printed elements besides the eyes, for the front and back of his iconic bandoleer. More than two-thirds of the set’s 149 pieces are brown, dark brown, and medium nougat, including some that appear here for the first time, like a medium nougat jumper tile (also in Go Brick Me).Ĭhewie deviates slightly from the norm, as befits his 7’6″ height (2.28m), with an extra row of outward-facing studs on the head. The 1×1 brick has a lovely simple, abstract pattern that will be easy to incorporate into other creations.Ĭhewbacca, unsurprisingly, is a walking carpet of earth-toned elements. Besides the standard BrickHeadz eyes, there are two printed elements that make up the shirt and jacket details: a black 1x2x2 brick and a medium nougat 1×1 brick. Han is a quick build, with nothing exceptional along the way, but the finished result comes together nicely. (And if you’re not, go pick up the Go Brick Me kit and you’ll be an expert in no time.) Han Solo doesn’t stray from the pattern, with a brick-built body mostly made of medium nougat-colored pieces and a pink 2×2 brick for a brain. Interestingly, the instructions only advertise these two sets in the back pages, and not any of the other Solo sets or other BrickHeadz.īy now, most of you reading this will be familiar with the basic construction of a BrickHeadz. At nearly 150 pieces each, the small boxes are packed quite full, and the BrickHeadz continue to be a bargain for those builders mainly interested in the parts. The backs of the boxes are nearly identical to one another, with each showing the other set along with the base.Įach set contains two unnumbered bags of parts along with the instruction manual and the loose black 6×6 plate that serves as the base. They’re numbered 39 and 40 in the BrickHeadz series. With an orange and white color scheme that matches the other Solo sets we’ve reviewed like Moloch’s Landspeeder, this classic duo appear to be the only characters so far getting the BrickHeadz treatment from the new film. 41608 Han Solo and 41609 Chewbacca have 141 and 149 pieces respectively, and each retails for $9.99 USD, and are available now. And although Star Wars is arguably the biggest franchise of them all, the characters we’re looking at today hail from an offshoot: Solo: A Star Wars Story, which opens May 25. But like nearly all the previous sets, the latest lineup mostly features characters from major franchises. They’ve even just released a kit allowing you to fully customize your own- 41597 Go Brick Me. Since the first BrickHeadz characters a few years ago, LEGO has rapidly expanded the cast of blocky brick-built figures. Adorably cute or cringingly ugly-no matter your position on LEGO’s BrickHeadz characters, there’s no denying they’ve struck a chord with a great many fans.
