Review: LEGO BrickHeadz 41626 Groot & Rocket Raccoon

Go ahead for a quick peek at the two minifigures in the LEGO BrickHeadz set 41626 Groot & Rocket Raccoon (15.99 €).

It's hard for me to be enthusiastic about these two LEGO-style interpretations of characters with an atypical physique ...

If I had to choose between the two figures, I would give the best rating to that of Rocket Raccoon. The attempt to reproduce the character is almost successful even if we are here in a symbolism that goes a little into abstract art. It's cute, but too far removed from the character's on-screen look. Keeping a soft toy in a cube is complicated. At 15.99 € a box, I don't want to be indulgent.

Regarding Groot, it's even worse. Even the color of the figurine is not suitable, we lose the texture of the wood in favor of a very plywood side ... And it is not the pad printing with a vague vegetal effect or the few leaves placed on the head character by a designer probably a little desperate and aware of the extent of the failure that saves the furniture.

While many minifigures in the LEGO BrickHeadz line regularly flirt with the limits imposed by the format, here I think those limits are being met and the trade-offs required to stay in the cube make the end result truly mediocre.

I don't think you need to talk any longer about these two figures, buy them if you want to continue to complement your Guardians of the Galaxy team. Otherwise, you can skip it without regrets, unless you meet them one day on sale at the bottom of a ferry at GiFi. Next.
