LEGO Jurassic World BrickHeadz 41614 revealed [News]

It’s looking more and more like each LEGO theme will be getting the BrickHeadz treatment, with the reveal today of the first official box art and product photos of the BrickHeadz from the next installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (due in theaters this June). Following the combo-pack release of two characters in a single set we first saw with 41489 Rey & Kylo Ren last year, 41614 Owen & Blue features the protagonist played by Chris Pratt alongside a brick-built CGI dinosaur. The set includes 234 pieces, and we’ll bring you an update when we have a firm release date and price.

Blue is the first non-humanoid character released as a BrickHeadz (even the seasonal BrickHeadz like the Valentine’s Day Bee and Easter Rabbit are fairly anthropomorphic), so it will be interesting to see how LEGO recreates other animals and creatures in the future.

LEGO BrickHeadz 41597 Go Brick Me box art unveiled [News]

It’s a BrickHeadz kind of news day today, with the upcoming Marvel Avengers Infinity War BrickHeadz revealed earlier today, followed by the final box art for the Go Brick Me customization kit we first shared from Toy Fair a few weeks ago. 41597 Go Brick Me will be released in April and includes 708 pieces at a retail price of 29.99 (USD) / 39.99 (CAD).

The response to our coverage from Toy Fair last month was overwhelmingly positive, even from non-BrickHeadz builders. The sheer number and variety of pieces in the set for such a low price point is excellent.
