Gru, Stuart and Otto Reviews
BrickFanatics
“If you’re a fan of the Minions then you won’t be disappointed with the trio of models, with one main character and two loveable sidekicks recreated for any desk, shelf or wherever you so choose. Like most other sets in the BrickHeadz theme, the value is mostly subject to how... More much of a fan you are of the individual property – in this case, Minions. The price-per-piece ratio is as to be expected, which isn’t a bad thing. At a total of three printed pieces – two of which are exclusive, and the other only available in one other set – there’s an argument to be made for the value, but it really depends on how much you’re into the denim-clad characters (and Gru).”
The Brick Fan
“Overall, the LEGO BrickHeadz Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420) is a fun little set that includes a few of the main characters. I feel the main draw of this set are the minions but having Gru is a good addition as he doesn’t look too bad either.”
Jays Brick Blog
“Rise of Gru is one of those infamous movies marred by Covid, having being delayed 2 years. They have a cool novelty as Minions Brickheadz in the OG blue and yellow colors, and there are some hardcore Minions fans, so these will stand the test of time”
