Interesting that there are no printed parts apart from the eyes.
It would have been fun if they up-scaled Hagrid to a larger size given his stature, similar to a big fig.

At least he is taller than the average Brickhead
Kudos to the designer as this is a great build. At least none of the parts are printed so maybe I'll have a crack at ordering the parts separately, still haven't made my mind up on that approach yet.
These look spool cute, I don't buy Brickheads but these are adorable.
September first release? Wonder if that means the minifigures series will be launched the same day?
Great looking set, and the lack of printed parts may help limit the aftermarket inflation as people will be able to buy the parts individually if needed.
Please keep the comments on topic.
Day 1 buy for me. Great-looking characters from the best Harry Potter book imo.
Hagrid has always been one of my favorite HP characters, but BrickHeadz just don't cut it for me. For what it is the set doesn't look half bad though.
If The Mandalorian and The Child were 113 and 114, then how come these have a lower number but are being released later?

Maybe something for his upper torso that would look like layers of jacket/undershirt and whatnot.
This works pretty well with no printed pieces, but it seems most have something printed on the body so it would have made sense here.
And is the lantern in a new color?
Buckbeak is very well done, and slightly larger than the previous companion creatures so able to provide more detail. I like the use of the studs to emphasize Hagrid's hair, although he does seem to have a very large forehead? The price of 20 Euros for 270 pieces seems reasonable.

It looks to me like Titanium Metallic; it's been in 13 other sets since 2018.
Buckbeak’s fine I guess, but I really like Hagrid.
Doesn't look that distinguishable.
@Havok211:
In a previous interview, someone revealed that each theme is given a specific number of "frames" that they can use for stuff that's not in production at the time. This can include introducing new colors or bringing back old colors for existing parts, or adding new print. Many themes burn off a considerable amount of these frames on minifig prints, but Brickheadz don't include minifigs. So they've really been able to focus on recolors and prints more than most other themes. It is oddly uncommon to see a new Brickheadz set where the stock eyes are the only printed parts.
That Buckbeak looks like its been turned to stone...
Hagrid is nice, thought.

Buttons and belt buckle might have worked nicely on Hagrid.
These are fantastic, cannot wait to get them !
I really like these.... brilliant. Will try to get them.
Is there a chart or image that shows each Brickheadz next to its corresponding number in an easy to digest Visual?

Perhaps one of these is a start for what you're aiming to find.
