Description

Built from bricks, not just minifigures

Rather than relying on ready-made minifigure parts, most of the detail here comes from individual bricks and plates stacked to shape fur, fabric folds and facial features. Among the 358 unique parts, light bluish grey, tan, lime and dark tan appear most often, echoing Shrek's green skin, Donkey's sandy coat and the grey tones of Puss in Boots' hat and cloak. That part variety is higher than in most play sets of similar size, which is typical for display-focused builds that need extra shaping pieces.

A shelf piece with one minifigure

The three characters stand on fixed bases and aren't designed to be posed or moved around, so this set works best as a permanent display rather than an everyday play set. One classic minifigure is included alongside the large builds, giving you a small figure to handle or place in a scene of its own. If you're after a set the kids can rebuild and replay with, a smaller minifigure-scale Shrek set will suit that better than this collector-style piece.

Reusing the parts elsewhere

This page lists every part in the set, sorted by colour and quantity, which is handy if a piece goes missing or you're hunting for specific elements for your own build. The grey and tan shaping bricks used for fur and drapery are common across other animal and fantasy sets, so they're worth keeping once you're done. If you enjoy studying how arches, cones and curved slopes combine to fake organic shapes such as ears, manes or a cat's tail, this set is full of examples.

Who this set is for

At 1,403 pieces, 72423 sits in the mid-to-large range for collector sets and suits confident builders around age ten and up, as well as adult fans of the films. Building three differently proportioned characters keeps the process varied, since each one uses its own techniques for fur, fabric and expression. Anyone who knows the Shrek films and wants a display piece for a shelf or desk gets a set that looks striking without leaning on minifigure play.
