"NINJAGO 10 earns a BrickScore of 69 as a Mixed Reviews set, where Nya's standout BrickHeadz design and the Firstbourne Dragon's novel quadrupedal format are offset by Lloyd's plain execution and design issues on the dragon, though owners rate it 4.79 out of 5 and show considerably more enthusiasm than critics."
The NINJAGO 10 BrickHeadz set (40490) receives a Mixed Reviews verdict with a BrickScore of 69, reflecting a consensus that the three-character set is enjoyable but uneven in execution. The Brothers Brick appreciated the parts value and character diversity, particularly the Firstbourne Dragon's departure from the standard BrickHeadz format, while Brickset found the Firstbourne's underbite unattractive and Lloyd's figure too plain. Owner ratings are notably higher at 4.79 across 86 ratings, indicating buyers are more satisfied than critics.
Where they split: The two expert reviewers agreed on Nya being the strongest figure and on the parts value, but split on the Firstbourne Dragon: Brothers Brick appreciated it as a novel departure from the BrickHeadz format, while Brickset criticized its underbite as significantly detracting from its appearance and questioned whether it resembled a dragon at all.

"All three are good looking builds, with bold colors and some interesting details. They're easily recognizable as the characters they portray, which is often a challenge when you shrink things down to this scale."
The Brothers Brick
"The set contains three very different blocky versions of Ninjago characters: Nya, Lloyd and Firstbourne the dragon."
