LEGO BrickHeadz Gandalf The Grey & Balrog (40631) The Lord of The Rings

Product Information

So spread them with the other ones to be more diverse in terms of scale and to push the purchase of all the collection (this is the marketing department speaking 😅). The Balrog in particular was an absolute blast to build, and the completed model is terrifyingly large, and opens up possibilities of larger Brickheadz, which I hope to see soon. I do really appreciate these characters being made, but I did find Gollum to be downright dull to build. Your continued support helps me run the blog, and continue to produce more awesome, educational and useful LEGO content!

Found on the LEGO Pick-a-Brick page, the sets will be released on January 1 and they feature most of the main characters from the saga. If this is the only wave of LOTR ones then it should have been Frodo and Sam and Gollum (with the Hobbits at the smaller scale), Legolas and Gimli, Aragorn and Boromir, and Gandalf with Merry and Pippin.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case.

And if it’s happy to let that piece go, should we be bracing for other shortcuts across any future LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets? These are fantastic, now I’m not a fan of Brickheadz, don’t own a single one, BUT you’ve done an amazing job on them. I noticed someone mentioned an issue with the 4 hobbits being almost the same, but isn’t that what Lego would appreciate, no real need for specific parts, just in different colours / prints. He’s also a little shorter than normal BrickHeadz, this is done with a smaller body and shorter legs. The focus of these sets seems to be pairs of characters that have some sort of connection to each other.The obvious answer is that the mould is no longer in service, and the element has been officially retired from production.

A collection that allowed us to get all nine members of the Fellowship would have been a must own IMO.

Features a full-size LEGO BrickHeadz Frodo figure with a sword and ring element and a smaller model of Gollum with a fish element. Her dress is a very bright light-green, which is not a common color, but it has little to no adornment. A little about the process: I use the piece count from Harry Potter BrickHeadz as an indicator of how many pieces I could use, to make it as realistic as an official release. The fantasy world of Lord of the Rings™ is filled with legendary books, films and the new The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV series. Yes, I use as reference the original torso design, redraw and adjust to match the scale for bricks 1x3 and tiles 2x4.Frodo comes as a full-size LEGO BrickHeadz figure wearing a brick-built cloak and holding the ring and a sword. This is similar to Aragorn’s, being created by a mix of shiny elements and a great printed plate, which also forms part of her face. First up, the packaging for the LEGO Lord of the Rings Brickheadz are incredible, and they feel fresh and familiar all at the same time. It’s really hilarious how bad Gollum looks, as he really nails the naked tan-baby Brickheadz look, down to his the filthy brown loincloth covering Gollum’s precious. Normally, I get more excited about female BrickHeadz as I find that LEGO often puts a lot of interesting building techniques in women’s hairstyles.

Next is one of the biggest and most impressive LEGO Brickheadz I’ve ever built – the Balrog from Moria, also known as Durin’s Bane.
