The verdict

This is a four-figure BrickHeadz pack pulled straight from the final season of Stranger Things, and the character choices are what won me over.

You get Eleven and the Demogorgon back in BrickHeadz form, plus first-ever versions of Max and little Holly. At $39.99 for 584 pieces it lands at a fair price for a licensed multi-pack, and it is squarely aimed at Stranger Things fans who want a shelf display without committing to the giant Creel House.

Best for: Stranger Things fans who want the Season 5 lineup as a tidy desk display

The full review

What it is

I have a soft spot for BrickHeadz, and this one caught me off guard with how much it leans into Season 5. The lineup is Eleven, Max, the Demogorgon and little Holly, and the two debuts are the reason to care. Max shows up with her ginger hair grown wild from her time trapped in the caves, and Holly wears the blue dress and yellow cape she has on when she first runs into Max. Those are not random costume picks, they are specific story moments, and building them made me feel like I was holding a little frozen frame of the show. The Demogorgon is the piece that got me, though. It comes in its grey ultimate state with a much wider, scarier open mouth than the older versions, and it towers over the humans at just over 10 cm.

The catch

I will be straight with you about what you are getting for your $39.99. These are BrickHeadz, which means four cube-headed figures on individual baseplates, and the build process is by nature repetitive. You place a lot of small plates and tiles to shape the faces, and by the fourth figure the rhythm is very familiar. Each one stands only a touch over 3 inches tall, so if you are picturing chunky statues you will want to reset that expectation. There is also zero play function here. They stand, they look cute, and that is the whole job. If you bounce off BrickHeadz as a format, four of them in one box will not change your mind.

Who it's for

So the split is pretty clear. If you love Stranger Things, or you already collect BrickHeadz, this is an easy shelf win, especially with the Season 5 detailing baked into every figure. It also sits nicely next to the bigger Icons Creel House if you want the small companions to a big centerpiece. If you find BrickHeadz builds dull, or you want something your kids can actually play with, I would point you elsewhere. This is a display set through and through, and it knows exactly what it is.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building all four is a steady, low-stress afternoon rather than a challenge. BrickHeadz construction is all about layering small plates and tiles to sculpt those signature square heads and blocky bodies, and you repeat that logic four times over. It is relaxing and forgiving, the kind of build you do with the show playing in the background, but do not expect any clever engineering surprises. The satisfaction comes from watching each recognisable face resolve out of a pile of tiny elements, not from any tricky technique.

The stars for parts people are the printed and shaped pieces that sell each character. Max's overgrown ginger hair, Holly's yellow cape, Eleven's grey and burgundy outfit and the Demogorgon's toothy grey maw all lean on specific molds and prints to land the likeness. The Demogorgon in particular uses its wider open mouth to real effect. At 584 pieces for $39.99 the value works out to roughly 6.8 cents per piece, which is respectable for a licensed set, and you are getting four display-ready figures plus their baseplates for that money.
