Description

Two dogs in one set

As with many BrickHeadz animal pairs, this set consists of two separate figures on their own stands: the larger Dalmatian and a smaller puppy sharing the same coat pattern. White forms the base coat colour, while black provides the breed's characteristic spots. Blue appears on small collar or accessory pieces, and light bluish grey covers the stands and structural elements. The spot pattern is arranged slightly differently on each figure, giving the two models a bit of individual character despite sharing a breed.

Build style and scale

At 252 pieces for two figures, this set sits toward the upper end of the BrickHeadz range, which shows mainly in the spot pattern, built from many small individual pieces rather than a few large panels. The usual cube-shaped head with oversized BrickHeadz eyes is present, topped off here with the Dalmatian's floppy ears. For collectors who already own other dog breeds in BrickHeadz form, this set adds an instantly recognisable coat pattern to the line-up.

Parts and colours

85 distinct elements go into this set, split across two figures with a similar but not identical structure. The parts list on this page breaks down every element, useful if you're after black or white small pieces for your own patterned builds. The colour breakdown also helps when comparing this set to other BrickHeadz animals, for instance if you're sorting a collection by coat colour or pattern.

An instantly recognisable breed

Few dog breeds are as easy to recognise by their coat as the Dalmatian, which makes it a natural fit for the BrickHeadz range's focus on instant recognisability. Unlike single-coloured breeds, the spot pattern here has to be pieced together deliberately from many small parts, making the build more varied than several other animal figures in the range. For collectors assembling different dog breeds in BrickHeadz form, this set is one of the most visually striking additions, since few coat patterns read as clearly as black on white.
