The verdict

It's the tiny Anzellan that got me, honestly, with chin hairs built from a minifigure claw and a wee mono-lens tool.

Getting five characters in one box for forty dollars is a genuinely fair deal by BrickHeadz standards, and the mix of a hero, a sidekick, an ally, and two villains gives you a proper little scene on the shelf. The builds are simple and repetitive by design, so if you want engineering fireworks this isn't it. But as a display piece for anyone who loves the show, it lands.

Best for: Star Wars fans who want a whole cast of shelf-sized characters in one affordable box

The full review

What it is

This is a five-character BrickHeadz multipack tied to the 2026 Mandalorian and Grogu film, and it gives you Din Djarin, Grogu, Colonel Ward, an Imperial Remnant snowtrooper, and a little Anzellan all in one box. At 661 pieces for $39.99 it works out to a fair price for the format, and what I like about it is that it isn't just hero-and-cute-baby again. You get an ally in Colonel Ward (the New Republic officer played by Sigourney Weaver) and two villain-side figures, so the finished lineup actually reads like a scene from the story rather than a couple of mascots.

The catch

I'll be straight with you about the caveats, because BrickHeadz are a specific taste. The building here is simple and deliberately repetitive, all sturdy cores wrapped in brackets and side-stud bricks, and doing five of them back to back can feel like an assembly line by the fourth one. There's no swooshable ship, no play function, no surprise reveal partway through. The Imperial Remnant trooper is also the weakest of the group visually, a snowtrooper riff with armor that genuinely looks scavenged, which is on-theme but reads a little messy on the shelf next to the cleaner figures. And if you already own the 2020 Mando and Grogu BrickHeadz, two of these five are refreshed versions rather than brand-new faces.

Who it's for

So who should get this. If you love the show and want a compact, affordable slice of the cast to line up on a desk or shelf, this is an easy yes, and the price makes it a low-stakes pickup. Kids in the 10-plus range can build most of it themselves, which is a nice bonus. If you're a builder who lives for clever engineering and long, involving sessions, though, five small blocky figures won't scratch that itch, and you'll be happier putting your forty dollars toward a proper playset instead.

The parts story

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

Building these is a calm, low-pressure evening. Each figure is built around a mechanically strong core and then dressed with brackets, headlight bricks, and bricks with side studs so the detail can face outward in every direction. Grogu and the Anzellan sit on a smaller 3x3 core instead of the usual 4x4, which is what keeps them believably tiny next to the others. The one spot that made me slow down and pay attention was the front of Din Djarin's helmet, which uses some properly exotic SNOT positioning to get that curved beskar face just right.

The joy is in the micro-details rather than any single showpiece part. The Anzellan is the standout, with tiny chin hairs made from a minifigure claw and a little magnifying mono-lens for his droidsmith work, both lovely bits of parts-repurposing. Grogu gets printed beskar chest armor and a brown satchel, and Mando's upgraded armor is a clear step up from his 2020 version. For 661 pieces you're getting a lot of small elements and useful side-stud connectors, so even the value-per-part reads well for a set this cheap.

Fun facts

01The set arrived on April 1, 2026 alongside the wave of playsets built to launch the Mandalorian and Grogu film, the first theatrical Star Wars movie in years.
02Colonel Ward is played by Sigourney Weaver, a New Republic officer and former X-Wing pilot, appearing here as a BrickHeadz.
03The Anzellan is one of the smallest BrickHeadz figures LEGO has made, sitting on a 3x3 core with chin hairs built from a repurposed minifigure claw.
04Din Djarin first appeared as a BrickHeadz back in 2020, so this counts as his second version, this time with upgraded beskar armor.
