We will also note the difference in color between the different Dark Red colored parts, it's a shame especially on a miniature that only uses a few of them.įor the rest, I won't repeat the usual verse on the technique used for the guts and the internal structure of these miniatures, these two new characters are based on the same principle as the rest of the range. The hobbit enjoys a pretty Plate pad-printed on the torso, an element whose flesh-colored area is as often a little pale and is not perfectly matched with the color of the parts forming the face. At a minimum, LEGO could have split a blue version of the eyes, this detail would have given a little personality to the thing.įortunately, Frodo is also present in this box and by deduction we can logically identify the two characters. LEGO does try to add some sparse hair to him via three plates pad-printed, the effect still falls a little flat and if the character hadn't been delivered in a box stamped with the logo of The Lord of the Rings saga, he could have embodied just about anyone or anyone. The result isn't wildly exciting with a Gollum looking more like a smooth-skinned baby than the creature seen on screen. But interpreting Gollum in BrickHeadz format and bringing him to the scale of a hobbit was a complicated challenge that the designer tried to meet as best he could.
The idea of bringing the two characters together in one and the same box is interesting, we can't blame LEGO for diluting the main cast of the license in countless sets filled with secondary characters. Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO The Lord of the Rings set 40630 Frodo & Gollum, a box of 184 pieces comprising two figurines in BrickHeadz format which will be available at the retail price of €14.99 from January 1, 2023.
