Gru, Stuart and Otto

"Gru, Stuart and Otto earns a Mixed Reviews verdict at BrickScore 69.7, praised for delivering Minions in their instantly recognizable iconic blue and yellow with a novel Gru nose piece, but held back by uninspiring build techniques and a character lineup that resonates less without strong movie context."

Gru, Stuart and Otto sits in the Mixed Reviews tier at a BrickScore of 69.7, with a notable split between expert reviewers and the very small owner sample. Two of three expert reviewers (Brickset and The Brothers Brick) were broadly positive, praising how naturally Minions translate to BrickHeadz geometry and the novelty of including young Gru as the first BrickHeadz human character with a nose piece. Jay's Brick Blog was more measured, rating it 60 and noting the absence of interesting build techniques and the risk that the film-tied set loses relevance without strong theatrical support. Owner data is thin (4 ratings, 4.5 out of 5 on LEGO.com) but shows 100% recommendation, though that sample is too small to weigh heavily.

Where they split: Jay's Brick Blog (60) was notably more cautious than Brickset (75) and The Brothers Brick (75) on build quality and long-term relevance, specifically criticizing the absence of interesting techniques and Gru's weak nose representation, whereas the other two reviewers were broadly pleased with how the characters translated to BrickHeadz form.
