Description

Three figures instead of the usual two

While most BrickHeadz sets include two figures, this one packs in three: Gru as the main character alongside the Minions Stuart and Otto. That makes it especially appealing for fans of the films, since it lets you assemble a small scene out of several familiar characters at once. Despite the extra figure, 244 pieces still leave enough room for recognisable details like Gru's distinctive nose or the Minions' trademark goggles, without the build becoming a marathon.

Black, blue and a bold yellow

The colour palette draws directly on each character's signature look: black and blue for Gru's coat, bold yellow for the Minions' skin, with light bluish grey covering neutral details and the stands. That clear colour separation keeps the three figures easy to tell apart even from a distance. With 81 unique parts, the piece variety is well suited to three compact figures, giving each one enough of its own parts to stay recognisable. Exactly where each colour is used is detailed in the parts list on this page.

For film fans and collectors

With no minifigures, this set is aimed squarely at fans of the film series and BrickHeadz collectors looking to add familiar movie characters to their line-up. Since all three figures build independently, the project splits naturally into several short sessions, one figure at a time if you like. Lined up together, Gru and the two Minions make a small, instantly recognisable film scene for a shelf, no elaborate backdrop required.

Three separate stands, one set

Unlike single-figure sets, this one comes with three individual, labelled stands, which means the group can be arranged flexibly, clustered together as a scene or spread out separately across a shelf. For children familiar with the films, that adds an extra layer of play, acting out small moments with the characters even though these aren't classic action figures. The parts list on this page also shows exactly how the 81 unique parts are distributed across the three figures.
