The Mandalorian and Grogu: Allies and Villains (LEGO 40856)

About this set

This is LEGO 40856, a BrickHeadz set in the Star Wars theme built around the Mandalorian and Grogu as allies and villains. It comes with 661 pieces and sits at a 3/5 difficulty, so it suits builders who have already put together a few basic BrickHeadz and want a two-character pairing. You get two separate figures. Both use the classic blocky BrickHeadz silhouette and the oversized eyes, Grogu stands out with green ear/hair elements against light tan and black, and the Mandalorian has a round badge on the chest. Each character sits on its own black base, and displayed together they read as the ally-and-villain contrast the set is named for. When building, sort the green, light tan, and black parts first, then work character by character: on Grogu the ear and head pieces concentrate at the top, so build the head before attaching it to the body; on the Mandalorian, add the badge and torso details after the main body is together so small parts don't pop off while you press down. With 661 pieces split across two figures, neither is huge, and the 3/5 rating comes more from finding and aligning parts than from complex structure. It suits Star Wars fans, BrickHeadz collectors, and anyone who wants a paired display or a starting point for a MOC.
