CRITICIZED (3)

01Hagrid was already available in the Hagrid and Buckbeak BrickHeadz set, making this a partial repeat for collectors who already own that set
02Hermione and Ron feel relatively plain compared to Hagrid and Harry
03Some felt the price could have been reduced by removing Hagrid given his prior release

Ecosystem

40496 77 — Set 40495 reimagines previously released characters, while 40496 features all-new characters; both offer different approaches to expanding the Wizarding World BrickHeadz line.

Hagrid & Buckbeak GWP set (2020) 64 — New Hagrid version is taller with more curved hair elements and different overcoat colour compared to previous GWP version, though maintains similar core design.

40496 77 — 40495 is the better set as it contains more bricks and more characters for the same price of $34.99

BrickHeadz Nutcracker (2020) 64 — The Nutcracker was an exception in the BrickHeadz line for incorporating a moving piece; Nagini in 40496 is also unique, but most BrickHeadz have similar base structures
