Brick Fanatics take a look at BrickHeadz 41602 Rey, the latest release in the BrickHeadz line, The Last Jedi Rey.

Price: £9.99 / $9.99 / €9.99  Pieces: 119 Available: Now

Although the returning cast – Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher – may have hogged top billing on the sequel trilogy cast list, if it were not for the power of their names then the younger actors would be taking those spots. Daisy Ridley’s name would surely appear first, as she plays the trilogy’s new lead character, Rey. During Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the character seeks her place in the galaxy, hoping that Luke Skywalker will show her the way.

When it comes to LEGO BrickHeadz, the LEGO Group has chosen to focus on the new characters first. The release of Rey marks the third LEGO Star Wars figure – Kylo Ren was released alongside Rey, but the model makers numbered the moody villain four – and the second BrickHeadz set I have ever built. In some ways I found this as enjoyable a set as Kylo Ren, in other ways I did not.
