LEGO 6225354 Brickheadz Boba Fett 41629 Building Kit, Multicolor

Product Information

The Child, Baby Yoda, Grogu, disappoints a little. He comes in his hover pop but that only serves to make him seem too big against Mando. Well, here we have a weird one but what can you expect from a LEGO buildable figure of a furry character. I understand how hard it would be to find that perfect solution for adding a furry effect and thus, I always close my eyes on this side of the Chewbacca figure. The figure includes a bunch of neat printed pieces that recreate the smaller details of the costume and a cool triangular ventilation piece on the head (if that is what you call it). The helmet piece could benefit from some improvements in terms of shape but I believe they did a good job in the overall recreation of this part. Captain Phasma goes for up to four times her original retail price which is not a bad return on your investment if you snapped her up when she was first released.

There is considerable variation between 41629 Boba Fett and its predecessor, particularly in the design of their helmets. The 2018 model features printed elements on either side of the visor while the version from New York Comic-Con includes some 2x2 wedge plates which are fitted using hinges. I prefer the updated design but also appreciate that the earlier figure was less reliant upon printed pieces. I struggle with the likeness, the mask and head seem to be on the large side probably because of the addition of his hood. Next up, we have Darth Vader which I thought to be quite odd at the beginning but with time, it grew on me and I absolutely love it now. Both have a very cool retro feel about their design, they are quite simple in design but it all comes together well to make a very cool set. The solo appearance was a better figure, he just looked like Kylo Ren. For me, it is a different story with this version.As for Baby Yoda or the Child, it comes with the hover pod we saw in the first episodes which is a nice addition with good design. While you cannot expect much design-wise from this character, LEGO nailed the shaping and completed it with those cute ears that you see on the picture. The torso printing is simple as you cannot expect much from a Stormtrooper but it is effective and the figure also includes a custom blaster. As a whole, I hope LEGO releases more figures of military characters like this one and maybe, I would then consider building an army of those. What can we say, the color scheme is great, the printed details are awesome and we would go as far as to say that this version of Boba Fett is an improvement of what was already a great figure that appeared with Han in Carbonite. The design of Luke was great. LEGO made him into his Cloud City outfit with some neat printed pieces, they added some details on the belt like the lightsaber holder which would hardly hold a lightsaber at this size but it is a cool feature. Anyway, we can easily compare this figure with the one of Captain Phasma and you should instantly spot the differences in design and how much better the Stormtrooper is. The detailing on the helmet is incredible, LEGO used a bunch of different techniques to build the pieces together into one incredible design.

We will not go through the same issue with the lightsaber here again but know that it stands valid for this figure of Kylo Ren.Iron Man and Captain America is another San Diego Comic-Con exclusive this time from the 2016 convention. Now, over to CapnRex101 for a comparison with the figure from 41498 Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite...

As for the Sith Trooper, it does look amazing but slightly bulkier than I would like it to be. As a whole, the helmet does not closely resemble the actual character and it gives me those Captain Phasma vibes that I do not want in my head. Nevertheless, I absolutely love the colors they used and to me, they make up for the issues and make the figure look unique. They don’t reach the same high values that some Pops can go for but they are starting to get up there. They were first launched in early 2017, and we tend to liken them to the extremely popular Funko Pop Vinyls. They need be disappointed no more because the just-released 41629 Boba Fett is a considerable improvement on the version in the SDCC set. The weirdest addition in this set is the combination between the blaster and the lightsaber since I do not remember ever seeing Luke with both but it looks good at the same time.The Mandalorian bounty hunter is constructed like no other: a myriad of interesting SNOT techniques are used to create vertical stripes and fractional plate offsets which makes it a satisfying and educational build. I hope you have found this review informative. Let us know by liking this article and share your thoughts on the set in the comments below.

Not for me and that’s not because he is a bad figure it is because I just don’t think that he is a great Star Wars character.It is quite a simplistic set, there is not much printed detail and Supergirls hair does look a bit odd but of course, the big S tells us all we need to know. This version of Mando has him in his original armor from the early episodes before he acquired his Beskar Steel armor. If we look at the Stormtrooper, Captain Phasma, and the Sith Trooper and draw a comparison with the Stormtrooper being top-notch and Phasma being a huge disappointment then the Sith Trooper is somewhere in the middle.
