LOVED (8)

01Cute and charming design with expressive features
02Bright, seasonally appropriate colors
03Multiple articulation points (swiveling head, hinged wings, moveable feet)
04Mostly SNOT construction technique shows nice building practice
05No new pieces required, making it accessible
06Appropriate addition to an Easter basket
07Looks better in person than in pictures

CRITICIZED (8)

01Feet are disproportionately large relative to the body
02Some find the oversized eyes and overall proportions unsettling or creepy
03Lack of accessories (eggs, eggshells) unlike other seasonal animals
04Beak proportions could be more realistic (some prefer a single beak to upper/lower design)
05Build is overly simplistic and too easy
06Beak design looks weird with two sloped pieces instead of a matching roof piece
07Feet are disproportionately enlarged
08Overall design feels bland

What reviewers are saying

"When I first saw pictures of the set, I have to admit I was under-whelmed and wasn't sure I would like it. As odd as it sounds, I think they must have been unflattering pictures, as when I saw the set in person, I though…"

Brickset Reviews

"The build is extremely easy, a little bit too easy."

Ecosystem

Cupid Dog — The Easter Chick improves upon the Cupid Dog by using more seasonally appropriate colors (avoiding the jarring grey) and maintains better color cohesion.

Easter Bunny (40086) — The 2014 Easter Bunny set was superior; the 2016 Easter Chick is disappointing in comparison due to bland design elements like the weird beak and enlarged feet.
