Road Runner & Wile E Coyote were two of my favorite cartoon characters growing up. I loved watching all the plans that Wile came up with to try and catch the Road Runner.
I was excited that the kit came with 2 instruction manuals and 2 bags, one with everything for each character. I was super excited when I was looking at the photos to make the builds.
Road Runner
The Road Runner is like no BrickHeadz build I have ever done. This is because its head is so narrow, and there aren’t stacked bricks making up the outside of the body like a tower. The build starts by making a body that is a rectangle that is just over a 2 height square. The head is a bit more tricky, and I had to restart it a couple times to get everything lined up. Overall, I enjoyed the build and am super happy with the finished product.
Wile E. Coyote
I really liked the build for Wile. While it starts on a square base like most BrickHeadz, it didn’t stay that way for long. While the body is a typical square with studs to hold the arm, the head is more unusual. The head has external studs of various heights that allow there to be more variation and curves in the face. I really like the nose and how it appears curved, which is unusual for the BrickHeadz line. I was also surprised to see that Wile has a tail because you can’t see it in any of the photos.
Things I liked:
- Wile E. Coyote’s tail was an unexpected surprise
Things I didn’t like:
- Putting together Road Runner’s head
