Description

Two Brickheadz, built your way

Unlike standard Brickheadz with one fixed design, 40541 supplies parts for two custom figures that can be assembled to look like whoever is building them: several hairstyles, faces with different expressions and accessories are all included as options. Builders can put together themselves and a second figure, both styled as Manchester United supporters. That open-ended approach turns the set into an ongoing personalisation project rather than a model that is simply finished and shelved.

Fan gear as building pieces

Typical fan items appear here as actual building elements, including a scarf in club colours and a trophy piece that either figure can hold. These details tie the otherwise very flexible Brickheadz format to Manchester United specifically, without the club name appearing in the set's own branding. Fans who already own other Go Brick Me sets can also mix accessories between them for even more combinations. That flexibility also makes the set a thoughtful gift, since the figure can be tailored to whoever will receive it.

Reddish brown, black and yellow tones

The main colours – reddish brown, black, yellow and dark orange – mostly come from the various skin tone, hair and accessory options rather than from a single club colour. That explains why the palette looks more varied than a typical football set. Checking the parts list on this page shows exactly which skin, hair and accessory colours are included in the box. Mixing skin tones and hair colours from this set with accessories from other Go Brick Me sets opens up even more combinations.

530 pieces, 145 different shapes

With 145 unique parts across 530 pieces total, the build stays manageable, since many of the standard Brickheadz shapes repeat throughout. That keeps 40541 approachable for less experienced builders while the range of faces and hairstyles still leaves plenty of room for personalisation. The full parts list breaks down every element individually, handy for tracking down a specific hairstyle or face piece. For newcomers to the Brickheadz format, that balance between simple technique and creative choice makes for a good starting point.
