More BrickHeadz pets revealed
Posted by Huw,.jpg)
LEGO has just lifted the lid (and opened the cage) on two new additions to the Brickheadz pets range.
40442 Goldfish and 40443 Budgie will be released on March 1st. The images we've been provided with, particularly those of the birds, do not really do the models justice. As you will see in my review tomorrow, they are really rather cute.

Kids who love animals will adore this BrickHeadz Goldfish (40442) build-and-display set.

This buildable pet set is a perfect gift for all kids, BrickHeadz collectors and pet lovers.

Hmm, the cold, dead eyes of Brickheadz almost suit these animals.
Just need to add some white stripes to the fish for a famous father & son combo!
The goldfish look like they’re whistling
Those fish are really cute but I'm assuming it'll be the same price as the others even though they have no bodies..
These look nice, and I will have to add them to the other pets here. I like it how they tweak the Brickheadz formula every time to come up with something interesting again.
SO CUTE :D
Will the budgies be going cheep?!?
These are really neat!
I don't normally collect BrickHeadz but I might make an exception for those fish.
Definitely gonna purchase them all sooner or later. Sad to see the massive decrease of Brickheadz releases since its introduction year but I do think they released too much back then as well. Somewhere in between this year/2020 and back then would’ve been sensible. Glad to see they’re at least keeping it alive.
The goldfish are really cute, and definitely need some sort of cranked or motorised stand to make them wiggle.
The budgies have a bit of a 'Feathers McGraw' dead-eyed stare to them (when looked at head-on) but are cute nonetheless. I think both are still better than the dog or cat.

dude now I look at them and hear TWD Negan's whistling xD LOL
The addition of these goldfish have only reinforced my decision to build an octopus BrickHeadz figure! I'll have to avoid building more aquatic animals lest I make an entire BrickHeadz aquarium, but the set looks like a great source of trans-clear 2x2 bricks, trans-orange 1x1 round tiles, dark azure plates and tiles, and orange elements.
I really like these. Especially the birds. At this rate by the end of the year I might have a whole zoo.
My goodness, will this nonsense never end?
The products are fine, but what I'm really sold on are the 'iconic' BrickHeadz stands!
These sets should have just one pet and be cheaper.
I’m really not a fan of brickheadz, even if they are animals, which I love. But I do like the goldfish.
Man, everything is creepy to you guys these days huh
PINK CORAL!!!!!! Sorry but I am working on an underwater diorama.
For the goldfish you could replace the orange bricks with red, white, yellow, and pink ones to make a brickheadz Cheep Cheep from Mario

If you wait long enough for them to be on clearance, sure :)
So I wonder if the Budgies will be localized for different nations, at least in the US the name Parakeet is the default name although plenty of bird owners recognize that Budgie is another name for them at least. But Parakeet is still the name they are known for in the majority of the population.
This might be the only sort of budgie my wife will let me have.

About the price of a real one in the Netherlands.

O
Those Parakeets are adorable! I wish they came in blue though.
The BrickHeadz treatment kind of suits the fish.
As for the others, Meh imho.
And hey, I learned a new word today that had never heard of before in my entire life: Parakeet.
Thanks for the enlightening.
Goldfish is a PIGfish.
I don't really care for BrickHeadz... but those goldfish are actually cute.
Still no pet BrickHeadz for us reptile fans. I'm sad now.

I only learned the word “budgie” a few years ago, from a Kiwi.
I still need to get the german shepherds
Finally, a goldfish that won't die!
They’re cute, I dig em and I’ll buy em, but I gotta say that I really really really miss the licensed Brickheadz. I SO thought that we’d be seeing additions to some of my favorite themes as we went along.
I...was mistaken.
I'm confused by the birds, in Australia a Budgerigar or Parakeet are different colours and I've never seen one that looks like these, especially baby ones which my sister breeds. These look a bit more like Fig Parrots but perhaps it's a breeding variant someone had or has a pet in Europe? We call them by both names in our house at least, usually using Budgie for the domesticated version and Parakeet for the wild, of which we have a large flock in our area (south east Australia and mum feeds the wild birds - soooo many birds!). I'll get them because I'm a collector and have given into the completest model on Brickheadz at least (I dare not get into CMFs!) but they do look very weird colour wise. Though they could be the infamous Budgie Smugglers lol
Hopefully they will show up on our shop at home site soon, this slow roll out I understand for production volume issues they must be having in regarding Covid but they could at least get their website up to date, so much coming soon stuff here isn't even listed in New section, you have to look in each theme or section or it shows up the day or two before release, sigh......
The fish are okay
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parakeet
Interesting.
These look better than the others. I might pick up the budgie.
Now, bring us the WHALE!
Found it ironic that the cat's stickers are showing fish lol
Honestly really like the Goldfish, probably be the only one of the series I'll try and pick up.
2 more to add to my basket in march then and next they could do rabbits and hamsters
I’d be more interested in the goldfish if they were a pair of Black Moors, or as we referred to them in my college dorm, “eyeball fish”.
@Trotsky18:
Depends how hard you kick them...
@Metalizer7734:
Relax, they don’t appear capable of holding baseball bats.
@CarolinaOnMyMind:
I learned it nearly 30 years ago from a seriously disturbed individual. I have zero interest in owning that set.
Darla, from Finding Nemo would be overjoyed. A fish she can't harm. Interested.
They should make BrickHeadz ice age animals one day.

Everything's iconic nowadays in the eyes of marketeers ;-)
@Modeltrainman:
Or would she see it as a fish that's pre-dead?
These are definitely an improvement over the so-called German Shepherds, which look much more like Pugs to me....
I love those fish.
