Description

A decade of Ninjago in Brickheadz form

Brickheadz is its own LEGO® product line, turning familiar characters from films, TV series or other themes into a simplified, cube-shaped style with an oversized head and small body. This particular set was released to mark ten years of the Ninjago theme, drawing on recognisable figures from that world. At 406 pieces, it sits within the typical range for Brickheadz builds, which usually consist of one or two figures. For fans who've followed Ninjago over the years, it works as a fitting anniversary piece.

Colours pulled from the ninja world

Black, red, pearl gold and dark green make up the colour scheme, drawing on the classic ninja costume colours that have defined Ninjago since it began. That combination makes the set instantly recognisable as part of the theme, even without singling out one specific character by name. Pearl gold adds a slightly premium touch that fits the anniversary framing of the set. Anyone who already owns other Ninjago sets will recognise the colour world immediately.

A collectible, not a play set

Without minifigures, this set is clearly different from typical Ninjago play sets built around vehicles or battle scenes. Instead, the emphasis sits on the building process itself and the finished figure as something to display. Brickheadz collectors often build up a row of figures over time, and this anniversary model fits naturally alongside other characters in that lineup. For younger Ninjago fans, it can also work as an approachable first step into the wider Brickheadz range.

137 parts in a compact build

With 137 unique parts across 406 pieces, the set offers a surprising amount of detail for its compact size, which is typical of Brickheadz models with their expressive faces and small accessories. The full parts list on this page covers every element, including the pearl gold pieces, which is useful if you're after a specific colour or shape. The wide part variety also makes it a decent source of pieces for custom Brickheadz-style builds.
