LEGO BrickHeadz September 2026: SpongeBob, Golden Age DC and Gremlins land 1 September

LEGO BrickHeadz September 2026: SpongeBob, Golden Age DC and Gremlins land 1 September

September's BrickHeadz wave runs to three sets, and all of them go on sale the same day: 1 September 2026. UK pricing is £10.99 for the single SpongeBob figure, £22.99 for the Golden Age DC double pack and £19.99 for the Gremlins double pack. That is £53.97 for all three, and going through Soleback puts 3.5 per cent back on the order, or £1.89.

These are likely the final BrickHeadz of the 2026 range. The new figures carry numbers 324 to 327, filling the last gaps in the numbering, and take the year's total to 44 BrickHeadz, the most since 2018.

40858 SpongeBob SquarePants, £10.99

A single figure and the cheapest entry here. SpongeBob returns to LEGO after a gap, and in September he is joined by a much larger Bikini Bottom Icons set.

It is the natural way in for anyone who wants to test whether BrickHeadz suit them without committing twenty pounds. The square head on a square character is also one of the rare cases where the theme's styling matches its source with no compromise at all.

40859 Golden Age Superman and Batman, £22.99

A double pack, 218 pieces, rated 10 and over. Both characters appear in their Golden Age outfits, covering the period from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s.

The best details are the ones hidden inside. Superman's body conceals a green brick standing in for kryptonite, and Batman's holds a golden coin marking 20 years of LEGO DC Batman. Neither is visible once built, which is a fairly cheeky move for a display set.

The pared-back shaping is a deliberate nod to the earliest BrickHeadz from 2016 and 2017. Superman has appeared before in 41490 from SDCC 2016 and in 41610 from 2018, and Batman has had several outings, so for collectors this is another variant rather than a debut.

One thing worth watching: this set is priced above the other double packs released this year, which have held at £19.99. It may be a one-off, or it may be the new price for BrickHeadz double packs in the UK. The theme already took a price rise between 2025 and early 2026.

40919 Gremlins Gizmo and Stripe, £19.99

A double pack, 230 pieces, and the first BrickHeadz to carry the Gremlins licence. Stripe is noticeably taller than Gizmo, which reads correctly against the films. Both come with accessories: a skateboard for Stripe and a box of popcorn for Gizmo.

For anyone collecting the licence, this is the third LEGO outing. Both characters already appeared as minifigures in 71256 from the Dimensions range in 2016, and Gizmo got a larger buildable model in 21361 from the Ideas line. These new BrickHeadz will sit alongside either.

If you were hoping for a large Stripe to match the scale of 21361, this is not it. But the better this version sells, the likelier a bigger model becomes.

What to know before 1 September

The sets go live on LEGO.com, where they can usually be added to pre-order ahead of release. Insiders members get early access to new releases and earn points on the order value.

BrickHeadz have one quirk that separates them from other themes: figures are not duplicated across sets within a year. There is no point waiting for the same character in another box, because there will not be one. Sets retire after somewhere around a year and a half, and secondary market prices tend to climb sharply afterwards.

Ordering all three through Soleback returns £1.89 on £53.97, with 3.5 per cent applied to the order value. Cashback credits once the returns window closes.

FAQ

When do the new LEGO BrickHeadz release?

1 September 2026. All three sets, 40858, 40859 and 40919, go on sale the same day.

How much do the September BrickHeadz cost?

SpongeBob (40858) is £10.99, Golden Age Superman and Batman (40859) is £22.99, and Gizmo and Stripe (40919) is £19.99. All three come to £53.97.

How many pieces are in the new sets?

40859 has 218 pieces and 40919 has 230. LEGO has not yet published a piece count for 40858.

What easter eggs are hidden in the DC set?

A green brick standing in for kryptonite inside Superman, and a golden coin marking 20 years of LEGO DC Batman inside Batman. Both are invisible once the figures are built.

Is this the first LEGO Gremlins product?

No. Gizmo and Stripe appeared as minifigures in 71256 from the Dimensions range in 2016, and Gizmo received a larger buildable model, 21361, in the Ideas line.

Why is the DC set more expensive than the Gremlins one?

Both are double packs, but 40859 is priced above the £19.99 that other BrickHeadz double packs have held at this year. It may be an outlier or the start of another price rise in the theme.

How much cashback do I get?

3.5 per cent of the order value through Soleback, which is £1.89 on all three sets. Cashback applies to online orders and credits once the returns window closes.

Is it worth waiting for a discount?

Probably not with BrickHeadz. Sets retire after around eighteen months and the figures are not repeated in other boxes, so once they go, the secondary market is the only route.
