Hot on the tail of the recent official announcement of the LEGO® DC and Marvel Superheroes BrickHeadz comes proof of the range extending through other IP Licenses. Today, the LEGO® Group and Disney officially unveiled Beauty and the Beast in BrickHeadz (no, I can’t bring myself to like the ‘z’ either) form.
[Editorial question for consideration: What is the singular of Brickheadz?]
Images after the break.
This brings the first wave up to ten models, and makes good on the promise to extend the range across pop culture licences. No longer limited to DC and Marvel Superheroes, the gloves are off and we are left waiting to see where this range goes next!
As with those announced yesterday, they will be available from mid February through shop.lego.com to VIP customers, with general release scheduled for 1st March. Australian Pricing has been announced at $AUD 15.99
