Description

Brickheadz meet Episode III

Brickheadz sets are built around oversized square heads, compact bodies and simplified but instantly recognisable characters. This 2025 release focuses on figures from Revenge of the Sith, the third instalment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, in which the Republic falls and Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. The stripped-down design language allows several characters with very different personalities to fit in one box without the build ballooning in scope. The set belongs to the 2025 wave of the Brickheadz range, showing how even a narrow slice of the source material can stand on its own as a model.

Piece count and palette

656 pieces spread across 177 unique parts, a typical ratio for a multi-figure Brickheadz set where each character needs its own colours and details for robes, faces and accessories. Black, reddish brown, white and dark brown dominate, matching the robes, skin tones and armour of the era. Small printed elements handle facial expressions and accessories such as lightsabers or cloaks. On average, each of the 177 unique shapes appears roughly 3.7 times across the build, a fairly typical ratio for a set this size. Anyone hunting for a specific part in a specific colour is better off checking the parts list directly than guessing from the box art.

Building each character

Each figure is built separately, usually starting from a sturdy base, working up through the body to the signature square head with its facial details. That structure makes the set well suited to shorter building sessions, since individual figures can be finished on their own before the whole lineup goes on display together. The instructions break the build into clearly separated sections, making it easy to spread the process across several days if needed. A tidy, sorted workspace makes a noticeable difference when working through the smaller, more detailed sections.

Who it's for

This set suits Brickheadz collectors and Star Wars fans who want to expand a display shelf without building a full diorama. Because these are collectible figures rather than classic minifigures, the focus sits on instantly recognisable character design rather than a play scenario. Every part is listed individually in the parts list on this page. Compared with similarly sized sets, it's a good example of how much scope and detail can vary within the same size class. In the end, a quick glance at piece count, colours and minifigure numbers is usually enough to judge whether a set fits a collection.
