CRITICIZED (3)

01Pink interior bricks visible under Woody's hat are slightly jarring visually for some reviewers
02Light grey interior bricks visible through seams in Woody's hat, an ongoing BrickHeadz format issue

Brickset Reviews

"both Woody and Bo Peep are among some of the best Brickheadz ever produced, and I had a blast building them."

Jay's Brick Blog

"Woody and Bo Peep are both holding their trademark accessories, a lasso and a shepherd's staff, respectively. Lots of care was taken to shape Bo Peep's hair and the ribbon tied into a bow around it."
