What reviewers are saying

"Tomatohead's characterful face is very well executed, and it lifts off as a single 'lid' assembly. Within the interior, the charming little Pizza Pit restaurant hidden inside is a delight."

Brickset Reviews

"At less than €10, there is no excuse to deprive yourself of a small, unpretentious decoration on your shelves."

Ecosystem

77076 Durrr Burger Restaurant sign — Both use the large Tile 6 x 8 with Rounded Corners and apply a humongous sticker to it. The reviewer notes this parallel as somewhat reminiscent, implying similar design choices.

21368 Peanuts: Snoopy's Doghouse — Both suffer from gaps created by repeated curved plate or brick elements that look like engine vents, though Tomatohead is less egregious because it's viewed primarily from the front.

77070 Durrr Burger — Similar design philosophy—both affordable small boxes featuring recognizable Fortnite video game locations that display well side by side on a collector's shelf
