As the highly anticipated fifth and final season of Stranger Things approaches, Lego marks the occasion by introducing new BrickHeadz collectibles featuring the series` core characters. This collection, set to release on October 1, includes four buildable figures: Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, and Will Byers. These figures are currently available for preorder for $40. Given their likely popularity among collectors, early purchase is recommended.
Consistent with the BrickHeadz line, these Lego Stranger Things figures charmingly translate the characters` distinct appearances and 80s fashion into their signature blocky style. Each figure comes with a sturdy display base and specific accessories, such as a walkie-talkie for Mike, a headset for Dustin, and a slingshot and binoculars for Lucas. These BrickHeadz sets are exclusively available for preorder through Lego, as they seldom appear at other retail outlets.
This new offering represents only the second Stranger Things set from Lego to date. The previous set, `The Upside Down` playset, has been out of stock for some time. Therefore, for fans eager to expand their Lego Stranger Things collection, securing these new BrickHeadz is advisable.
