Description

The Turtles in Brickheadz style

Set 40878-1 gathers the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the distinctive Brickheadz style, which reduces characters to a compact, blocky form with oversized heads. With 567 pieces and 162 unique parts shared across several figures from the popular comic and cartoon franchise, the result is a set that stands apart clearly from classic action figures or minifigure-based sets. Since no minifigures are included, the focus sits entirely on the Brickheadz models themselves, each built individually and then displayed together as a group. For Turtles fans who enjoy the distinctive building style of the Brickheadz line, this set offers a compact way to collect several characters at once.

Build style and colours

The colour palette of Black, Green, Dark Turquoise and Lime reflects the Turtles' familiar colours, whose green skin and coloured masks have made the franchise instantly recognisable for decades. Green and Lime likely represent the skin tone of the individual characters, while Dark Turquoise and Black cover masks, belts and other equipment details that visually distinguish the four brothers from one another. The Brickheadz building style relies on clear, geometric shapes with a small but carefully chosen set of specialist pieces for faces and accessories, setting it apart from more organic figure sets.

Who the set suits

As a purely collectible display set, 40878-1 is aimed at fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who want to display several characters together in the familiar Brickheadz look. With 567 pieces in total, the build can easily be split across several short sessions, since each individual figure stays manageable on its own. For collectors who already own other Brickheadz sets, this set fits seamlessly into a growing line of figures from different films, shows and comics. It also works well as an entry point into the Brickheadz range, since the Turtles are widely known characters and the building style itself remains approachable.

Using the parts list on Bricoria

The Bricoria page for set 40878-1 lists all 162 unique parts, sorted by colour, so individual pieces in Black, Green, Dark Turquoise or Lime can be looked up directly. This is particularly useful for sets with multiple figures, since parts can easily be mixed up between the different Turtles, and a clear overview makes it easier to keep track of which piece belongs where. If you need to replace a missing piece or want to check which elements were used for masks, belts or accessories, the list has the answer.
