Jake Sully & his Avatar

"A Recommended BrickHeadz entry with a BrickScore of 71.5 and a 4.71 owner average across 143 ratings, Jake Sully and His Avatar earns its place through genuine innovation in the line: the first wheelchair, first seated figure, and first hinged arms more than offset the scale and color-bleed complaints critics raise."

Jake Sully and His Avatar (40554) is a Recommended BrickHeadz set that earns genuine praise for multiple firsts in the line: the first wheelchair accessory, the first seated human figure, and the first hinged-arm BrickHeadz. Expert reviewers from Brickset and The Brothers Brick both recognize the innovation while raising legitimate design quibbles. Owner ratings are strongly positive, with 143 buyers averaging 4.71 out of 5 and 93% recommending it, confirming the set resonates well in practice despite the critics' notes on scale and color bleed.

Where they split: Critics focus on design compromises (scale, color bleed, wheel colors) that owners appear to overlook. Brickset scores it at 75 and Brothers Brick at 68, while owners give 4.71 out of 5 and a 93% recommendation rate. Avatar fans and BrickHeadz collectors appear more forgiving of the technical shortcomings than expert reviewers.
