The Brick Fan

“Overall, Freeing Dobby is a pretty nice little set. You get a good set which is sturdy and doesn’t break apart that easily when playing with it. You also get a great minifigure with Dobby as well.”

Full review at www.thebrickfan.com

FBTB

“Dobby is one of my favorite licensed minifigs to come along in quite a while. Simply by adding paint to what I believe is the original head mold, they’ve made a Dobby that absolutely teems with life.”

Full review at www.fbtb.net

Brickset

Master has given Dobby a Sock! — “The Dobby Minifigure is basically the only real draw for buying this set, as there are about a thousand oppurtunities for getting the other two figures. However, Dobby is quite a spectacular figure. His head is a new mould”
