You might expect it. The vote proposed at the end of November on the LEGO Ideas platform which aimed to determine which license would have the honor of filling the box with the 150th LEGO BrickHeadz minifigure brought together 13000 participants and the winning proposal among the Minecraft, Lilo & Stitch, Jaws and Star Wars licenses is ... Star Wars.

LEGO does not provide details of votes, not even a few percentages, just to get a more precise idea of ​​the distribution of support recorded for a particular license. Suddenly, some obviously cry conspiracy and rigging, it is in season. It is also not known which character from the Star Wars universe will have the honor of wearing the number 150 in the LEGO BrickHeadz range.

Come on, I don't think anyone is fooled, whatever the subject, it's always Star Wars that wins at the end and LEGO that decides the content and the timing. This whole operation was probably only intended to tease us the next licensed figurines to come.

Today we are quickly interested in what LEGO presents as the 150th BrickHeadz minifigure in the range launched in 2017, the LEGO Star Wars reference. 40539 Ahsoka Tano. THE vote organized in November 2020 to determine the license of the minifigure that would have the honor of wearing the number # 150 was decided in advance and LEGO logically thought of the many Ahsoka Tano fans following the victory of the Star Wars license on the three other themes proposed . The bet was far from won in advance, it was a question of converting a character with curvaceous organic attributes to the cubic format imposed by the exercise.

The designer is doing relatively well if we admit that it is the format that decides the rest. This new BrickHeadz figure follows all the usual codes when it comes to torso size, hand and foot shape, and minimalist interpretation of the face. Red guts and pink brains as often inside the figurine, flat face with the usual eyes, here it is necessary to count on the pad-printed tribal patterns and on the two-tone quilts of the creature for the incarnation to work. In any case, this will be enough for many fans of the LEGO Star Wars range who rarely look on the side of the BrickHeadz minifigures of the license are interested in this minifigure.

The assembly of the 164 pieces of the set is quickly dispatched but the process is not uninteresting: getting to give an organic side to a cube is a perilous exercise and yet it is the case here with quilts that fall perfectly on the shoulders. character and a level of detail that seems sufficient for a figure on this scale. The usual indulgence of fans of the Star Wars universe when it comes to merchandise will do the rest.

No particular marking on the base, I would have appreciated a small golden # 150 ", just to mark the occasion. The collection of figurines already marketed is impressive, more than 150 different products in 4 years with unnumbered figurines, it is is a nice challenge for collectors knowing that some of these ultra-limited BrickHeadz are overpriced on the secondary market and that the best complete collectors will never have the one with the number # 57 anyway. on its shelves. The reference which occupies this slot, the set 40316 which should have allowed to reproduce Geoffrey the giraffe mascot of the Toys R Us brand, has in fact never been officially marketed. set instructions are available and you may need to use the star-shaped stickers from the set 40228 Geoffrey & Friends to dress the figurine.

That being said, this Ahsoka Tano figurine deserves to wear this number which marks a significant milestone, it manages to convince despite the limitations of the format. In my opinion, this is not the case with all the products sold in this range and we can consider that fans of the Star Wars universe have been doing quite well since 2020, the content of the set 75317 The Mandalorian & The Child (295 pieces - € 19.99) is also very suitable.

This small product will be available at the public price of 9.99 € from January 1, 2022, at this price there are not many questions to ask if you are a fan of this character who has accompanied a whole generation of fans with the animated series. Star Wars: The Clone Wars et Star Wars Rebels and who is also embodied in Live Action in the series The Mandalorian by the very convincing Rosario Dawson.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at December 22, 2021 next at 23pm.

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.

All the tricks to do a little teasing without immediately revealing everything are good to take and LEGO is going today on the LEGO Ideas platform of an operation that looks like it a modest survey allowing fans to choose which BrickHeadz figure will have the honor of being the 150th in the line.

Among the four proposals in the running, it is obviously the one based on the JAWS (Les Dents de la Mer) franchise that attracts attention. We know that LEGO has signed a five-year contract with Universal Pictures which allows him to have access to a few licenses such as Universal Monsters including a first variation in BrickHeadz format is currently available via the set 40422 Frankenstein. The JAWS franchise is also in the trash that LEGO now has access to.

Un Duo Pack of BrickHeadz with a Sam Quint (Robert Shaw) minifigure accompanied by a shark should please fans of the 1975 movie directed by Steven Spielberg, but I hope that LEGO takes this a step further with a possible set 18 + which would feature Quint's boat, the Orca, the shark and some minifigs including the essential Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) and Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfus) ...
