Synthesized Verdict

"Mr. and Mrs. Claus earns its Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 68.6 not because buyers dislike it (a 4.80 average across 473 ratings says otherwise) but because the BrickHeadz format has a low ceiling for complexity. As a seasonal decoration and BrickHeadz collectible, it delivers exactly what it promises."

The 40274 Mr. and Mrs. Claus BrickHeadz duo drew universally warm buyer responses as a seasonal Christmas decoration, with nearly every owner review emphasizing the charming details on both figures. Expert-level analysis is limited in the data, and the set sits in Mixed Reviews territory more from the inherent ceiling of the BrickHeadz format than from genuine criticism. Owner data tells a positive story: 473 ratings averaging 4.80 out of 5, a 100% LEGO would-recommend rate, and a value-for-money score of 4.76 out of 5.

What reviewers are saying

"Between the two, I personally found Mrs. Claus to be the most interesting build. It's just more different from the standard humanoid build for Brickheads than Mr. Claus is."

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

pearl gold colored textured round 2x2 brick
Uncommon color and shape combination; the texture obscures the metallic sheen. Reviewer believes it may have been done in this color before but in a different shape.
modified 1 by two plate pieces
Used to create in-between spacing and shape transitions on the back of Mrs. Claus's dress to avoid hard transitions
tile 2×4 with 'Seasonal' print
rare element found only in other seasonal BrickHeadz sets (40272 Halloween Witch, 40273 Thanksgiving Turkey, 40271 Easter Bunny and 40270 Valentine's Bee)
minifig flotation ring in green
used as a Christmas wreath; piece in green comes in just 12 other sets, almost all Christmas-themed
round plates 1×1 with 5 petals in white
2018 is among the first times these pieces appear in white; 40274 is one of 12 sets containing the elements in this particular color
