LEGO Brickheadz Building Challenge: Win LEGO Brickheadz!

This month we invite you to participate in our LEGO Brickheadz Building Challenge, where you’ll have the chance to win a trio of LEGO Brickheadz!

LEGO Brickheadz History

The LEGO Brickheadz theme was launched at San Diego Comic-Con in 2016 before general release in 2017. With figures similar to the popular ‘Funko POP!’ vinyl figurines, the LEGO Brickheadz range was designed to expand the LEGO Group’s presence outside the toy market, providing a quick-build product that would entice collectors as much as LEGO fans.

Since its launch, 175 Brickheadz LEGO sets have been created and sold as promotional products or through general release, with two more sets rumoured for 2025. In 2018, set 41597: Go Brick Me was released, containing two 8×8 base plates and 706 parts, allowing builders to create two custom Brickheadz.

LEGO Brickheadz Basics

Although Brickheadz come in all shapes and sizes, there is a standard pattern that many of them follow.

The Base Plate

Brickheadz come on a 6×6 plate, usually topped with two 1×4 tiles and two modified 1×4 plates with 2 Monty, in black. This is an easy area of the build to add some variation, as long as you maintain the studs required to secure the figure in place. The base plate size can also be adjusted to fit the size of the figure or the display.

Legs

The legs of a standard Brickheadz figure are four plates high. Four plates allow for many colour variations, but it doesn’t always fit the situation. Different techniques can be used to create various types of legs or even dresses.

Torso

The standard torso of a LEGO Brickheadz figure uses a 4×4 plate with a core usually made of two 2×2 round bricks. The front and back of the figure are typically created using 1×4 bricks, with the sides using a 1×2 plate. The sides are topped with a ‘Modified 1x2x1 2/3 brick with Studs on Side‘ (item no. 22885) used to attach the arms.

The standard rules for building the Brickheadz torso vary depending on what type of figure is being created.

Arms

Brickheadz arms are created using a 2×2 plate, 1×2 tile, and a ‘Modified 1×2 Plate with Clip on Side (Horizontal Grip)’ for the hand. As with every part of the build, the arm design can be varied in many ways.

Head

Of course, the main element of a Brickheadz figure is its oversized head, which will be the key feature of the build. A 4×4 plate is used again as the base of the build section, with twelve ‘Modified 1x2x1 2/3 brick with Studs on Side‘ staggered around a central core. The core itself is a fun detail added by LEGO, including a stack of two 2×2 bricks, a round 2×2 plate and then another 2×2 brick in pink to represent the Brickheadz figure’s brain! Another 4×4 plate is usually placed on top, securing the build.

The SNOT technique used in the build allows for the inclusion of facial features, hair, or any other accessories. The key is the round 1×1 eye tiles that are used as standard throughout the range, adding to the distinct look of the figures.

The LEGO Brickheadz Building Challenge

This challenge is for you to design your very own Brickheadz figure! Your figure can be anything you like, whether a character from a movie, a family pet, or even yourself. We will be judging the builds on their creativity and unique design details, so make sure to throw in some nice part usage and fun features!
