Is it a… heart?Īll Brickheadz have pink brains in them, and it’s nice to see this tradition continue even with Pluto’s diminutive size. I don’t have a lot of Brickheadz, but I thought it was really interesting to see this red piece in the middle of Pluto’s body. He doesn’t look like the lanky dog that comes into your mind when you think of Pluto. Pluto is really cute, looking more like a puppy thanks to his oversized head on a tiny body. Pluto is canonically Mickey’s dog, so his inclusion with Goofy is an interesting choice, but I guess LEGO wanted all the Disney canines together in a set. Pluto the Dog also makes his debut as a Brickheadz (and hopefully an actual LEGO dog soon!). I also love that they captured Goofy’s canine teeth with the studs, which really ties it together. Goofy’s tall hat’s shape is a little weird, although it’s nice that its positioned at an angle. His smout also protrudes slightly, and I do like the stud for his nose. Goofy’s prominent features such as his snout and tall head represent a bit of a challenge adapting it to the blocky Brickheadz format, but the use of negative space, and making Goofy’s eyes the focal point of the face is a great solution to that problem. Goofy’s uh, goofy (?) expression is captured quite well, with his large thoughtful eyes, and signature orange jumper, along with blue pants. Goofy’s LEGO star-power has never been higher after finally making an appearance in the Disney Train and Station last year, and LEGO are keen on capitalising on Goofy-mania by releasing a Brickheadz in his image. Let’s take a look at the first pair, Goofy and Pluto. Price (Donald Duck) : AU$15.99 | US$9.99 | £14.99 – Buy from Įxclusive to: / LEGO Brand Retail Stores / selected independents Special thanks to LEGO for providing these sets for review purposes. The Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck Brickheadz fit in the same mould, under the subtheme of “Mickey Mouse & Friend”, so if you’re a fan of all things classic Disney, you might want these on your radar. In 2018, LEGO released the Mickey and Minnie Mouse Brickheadz, which sold out really quickly and were never restocked, making them one of the most sought-after Brickheadz due to the artificial rarity imposed by LEGO. LEGO’s Brickheadz theme has been the most hit & miss theme, with its unpredictable release schedule, and the seemingly limited numbers of Brickheadz produced, which can often mean that Brickheadz get retired very very rapidly. I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to review the upcoming Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck Brickheadz ahead of their release on the 1st of February 2020.
