Right out of the gate, we have the Luna Lovegood™ & Thestral Figures, set 40802. This 292-piece set, standing roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall, promises a quick but engaging build with its distinct blocky aesthetic. The box art showcases the characters ready for assembly, and the 9¢ price per piece is solid for two BrickHeadz.
Flipping the box, we get a better sense of the build. Notice the SNOT techniques that give the Thestral its angular, yet flowing, wings. Even from here, you can see how the designers tackled the unique silhouette of the creature.
Here they are, side by side! Luna's iconic blonde hair is achieved with multiple plates, building volume, while her spectrespecs are cleverly represented with printed tiles. The Thestral's large, pale eyes provide a striking contrast against its black body, using round 1x1 tiles.
From this angle, the Thestral's wings are more apparent. They feature hinged sub-assemblies, allowing for slight posing, a detail that adds character. Luna's red radish earrings, achieved with small round plates, are an NPU that perfectly captures her whimsical style.
A closer look at the Thestral reveals a clever transparent brick assembly for its stand. This gives the illusion of it hovering above its black baseplate, a subtle yet effective design choice for this winged creature. The greebling on its head builds up its skeletal face, capturing its unique form.
Placed within a home setting, these BrickHeadz figures find their natural habitat. They offer a compact display piece that doesn't demand excessive space. The standardized 4x4 stud baseplate ensures stability on any flat surface, making them easy to integrate into decor.
Peeking behind the finished product, we see the individual plates and tiles that form these characters. Notice the core brick construction and the jumper plates used for offsetting smaller details. It's a testament to how simple elements combine for complex shapes.
Standing tall on its transparent lift, the Thestral commands attention. This build, with its stark black palette and piercing eyes, makes a definitive statement on any shelf or desk. The blend of SNOT techniques and carefully chosen plates establishes a striking presence that celebrates the creature's lore.
