The verdict

This is the biggest, most poseable brick-built Grogu yet, and honestly the face is what wins you over.

That said, at $129.99 for 1,200 pieces it asks a lot, especially if you already own the 2020 Child. If you've never had a buildable Grogu on your shelf, this is easily the one to get. If you have, the beskar plate and wiggling ears might not be enough to make you buy him twice.

Best for: Mandalorian fans who want one great Grogu on the shelf and never owned the old Child

The full review

What it is

Here's the thing about Grogu: LEGO knows exactly what they've got, and this is the third time they've handed us a big brick-built version of him. This LEGO® set is the 2026 one tied to The Mandalorian and Grogu, and it's the most ambitious of the bunch. You get a 1,200-piece Din Grogu standing on a display plaque, wearing his little beskar armor and satchel, plus a tiny Grogu minifigure tucked in beside him so you get both scales in one box. The face is the star. The eyes, the set of the ears, the pose-able mouth, they all come together into something that actually looks like it's about to ask you for another cookie. When people say a set has 'personality,' this is what they mean.

The catch

Now for the parts that gave reviewers pause. The price is the loud one. At $129.99 (or £119.99, or AU$229.99) for 1,200 pieces, this lands on the expensive side of the ratio, and Brickset came right out and said it wasn't a worthwhile buy at that number. The articulation is the other sticking point. There's a clever lever on the back that rotates his head, and the arms and ears reposition, but the actual range of head movement is more limited than you'd hope, and it can slightly flatten his expressions once he's off the default pose. A few builders also flagged the ears as too thick and chunky, and questioned the anatomy of the arms when you raise them up. None of it is a dealbreaker, but it's why the reception landed genuinely mixed rather than universally adoring.

Who it's for

So who should grab him? If you've never owned a buildable Grogu, this is the best one LEGO has made, full stop. It's more detailed than the 2020 Child, it has posable arms that one didn't, and the beskar detailing gives it a reason to exist beyond nostalgia. If you're a Mandalorian devotee who wants exactly one great Grogu presiding over your shelf, you'll be very happy. The people I'd gently steer away are the ones who already own 75318 The Child and are on the fence. Unless the beskar plate and the extra poseability really call to you, you've mostly got this guy already. Everyone else, especially anyone who melts a little every time that face turns up on screen, will find plenty to love once you make peace with the price.

The parts story

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

The build is a character statue, so don't expect a sprawling multi-bag epic. It's a focused session where you construct Grogu from the feet up, layering the rounded body and that distinctive robe with a lot of curved slopes and clever angle work to get the soft, drooping silhouette right. The satisfying stretch is the head and the internal mechanism: there's a hidden lever setup that lets the whole head rotate, plus the small joints that let the ears and mouth reposition. It's the kind of building where the payoff isn't complexity, it's watching that unmistakable face slowly assemble in front of you.

The headline element is the brand new Grogu mold, which finally ditches the old LEGO baby microfigure body the previous versions leaned on. The beskar armor is rendered as a printed 8x8 dish sitting on his chest, stamped with the mudhorn signet, and it's the detail people keep pointing to as the best part of the set. The included minifigure carries its own new printed body with a matching beskar rondel, so it's a genuinely fresh fig, not a parts-bin repeat. At 1,200 pieces for $129.99 the per-piece value doesn't wow, and a chunk of the count goes into internal structure you'll never see, but the printed pieces and that new mold are what collectors will actually care about.

Fun facts

01This is the third large-scale brick-built Grogu LEGO has released, following 75318 The Child in 2020, which led some fans to joke about the 'now with a new hat' pattern of accessory tweaks.
02The set ties into the 2026 theatrical film The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first big-screen outing for the little guy.
03Grogu's beskar armor is recreated as a printed 8x8 dish element carrying the mudhorn signet, the same crest Din Djarin earned in the show.
04A concealed lever on the figure's back rotates the entire head, and the ears and mouth reposition too, giving him more expressions than any previous buildable version.
