The verdict

I built these two side by side and kept catching myself grinning at how much personality LEGO packed into that boxy BrickHeadz head shape.

Elphaba's green skin and black gown read instantly, and Glinda's pink puff-sleeve look is just as recognizable, which is the whole game with this format. It is not a complicated build and it will not challenge anyone who has done a BrickHeadz set before, but the charm lands. This one is for Wicked fans and BrickHeadz collectors who want the pair on a shelf together, not for anyone hunting a technical challenge.

Best for: Wicked movie fans and BrickHeadz shelf collectors who want Elphaba and Glinda displayed as a pair

The full review

What it is

I will be honest, I did not expect to like this set as much as I did. BrickHeadz can feel like a formula, big square head, tiny body, done in twenty minutes, and this pair does not fight that formula at all. But the color work is what got me. Elphaba's dark green face plate against that black gown, and Glinda's pale pink dress against her blonde hair, both read as their characters from across the room, which is really the entire point of this line.

The catch

I do want to be straight with you about the build itself. This is not a set that will test your patience or your engineering brain. It is stacking plates and bricks into a familiar silhouette, and if you have built any BrickHeadz before, you know the rhythm within the first few steps. At 325 pieces for two figures, you are getting reasonable value for the format, but do not go in expecting a weekend project, this is closer to an evening with a cup of tea.

Who it's for

Get this one if you love Wicked and want Elphaba and Glinda facing each other on a shelf, or if you are already collecting BrickHeadz and this pair is missing from your row. Skip it if you want a build that actually occupies your hands and your brain for a few hours, because that is not what this set is trying to be, and it never pretends otherwise.

The parts story

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

Building this is a quick, satisfying stack rather than a puzzle. You work through Elphaba first, laying down her black gown in dark bley and black plates before topping her with that instantly green head, then move to Glinda and build up her pink dress and golden hair piece. Neither figure takes long, and the moment where the head clicks onto the body is the payoff both times, that is when the character actually appears in front of you.

The standout parts for me are the two head prints, the face details are where all the personality lives on a BrickHeadz set, and both are clean and expressive here. The dress shaping uses a mix of slopes and plates to fake movement in the skirts without any bespoke new element doing all the work, which is honestly the clever part of this line, getting so much character out of parts that are mostly standard catalog pieces.

Fun facts

01BrickHeadz figures follow a deliberately fixed proportion, oversized cube head on a small blocky body, a format LEGO has used since the line launched in 2017 for exactly this kind of character-forward, quick-build appeal.
02This is not the first Wicked-themed BrickHeadz pairing LEGO has produced, the license has already yielded an earlier Elphaba and Glinda set tied to the first film, making this one part of an ongoing movie tie-in push.
03Two-figure BrickHeadz boxes like this one typically land in the 300 to 350 piece range, splitting fairly evenly between the two characters, which tracks with the 325 total here.
