LEGO today unveils a 2022 novelty in the BrickHeadz range: the reference 40550 Chip & Dale which features Tic et Tac the two Rangers of Risk (Rescue Rangers).

In this box, which will be available from March 1, 2022 at the public price of €19.99, 226 pieces to assemble the two squirrels in their respective outfits, inspired by Magnum and Indiana Jones, seen on screen in the TV series broadcast in France in the 90s.

It's cute, we often feel the limitations of the imposed format but the designer gets away with it in my opinion very honourably.

Two new references from the LEGO BrickHeadz range are now available on the area dedicated to official instructions for LEGO products: the Stranger Things set 40549 Demogorgon & Eleven and the Looney Tunes set 40559 Road Runner & Wile E.Coyote.

Their listing on the platform dedicated to instructions indicates that these two 2022 novelties should soon be added to the official online store.

Once is not customary, I find these two packs of two figurines rather successful, special mention for Bip-Bip which is really very nice.

The four new sets of the LEGO BrickHeadz range due out on February 1, 2022 are now live on the official store:

Two new references from the LEGO BrickHeadz range under Toy Story license will join the collection of cubic figurines from February 2022: 40552 Buzz Lightyear (# 158) and 40553 Woody & Bo Peep (# 159 & # 160). It's square, it's up to everyone to see if the transition to the format imposed by the range is successful or not.

It is no coincidence that LEGO is marketing these two packs at the start of the year, they will link up with the other derivative products planned for later in the year around the theatrical release in summer 2022 of the film. Buzz Lightyear.

These two sets are not yet referenced on the French version of the online store, so for the moment we will be satisfied with the back of the box of the reference 40552 to discover Woody and Bo Peep.

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.
