Toy Story (LEGO 40860)

About this set

This is LEGO 40860 Woody from Toy Story, part of the Brickheadz line and filed under scene sets, with a part count of 528 and a difficulty of 3/5. The finished model is a brick-built Woody head-and-torso, but not in his usual cowboy outfit: he appears as a nutcracker soldier, and the box art labels the subject as Toy Story Woody. The color scheme stays in brown, yellow, blue, black and white, with brown for the hat and hair area, yellow carrying the nutcracker uniform, blue and black holding the silhouette, and white picking out details. Recognizable features include the cowboy hat, a star badge and a belt buckle, all sitting on a black base that keeps the figure steady on a shelf. At 528 pieces this is a medium build, and the main task is lining up the head proportions and the layered brim of the hat. Sort brown, yellow and blue first, then build the head and hat early since the hat sets the overall outline; save the star badge and belt buckle for last, as those small parts sit close together and are easier to align once the torso is together. The black base can be built before the body is closed up so you can stand the half-finished model upright and check front symmetry. It suits builders who already know the Brickheadz rhythm and want a recognizable character, and Woody fans who prefer the nutcracker soldier look over the everyday cowboy outfit. The clutch is standard LEGO, and the 528-piece count makes this a relaxed repeat build for regulars while newcomers should watch small-part orientation.
