I grabbed this Easter bunny set cheap on Ebay a few months back and given it’s now Easter it seemed an apt time to assemble same. So cute, much nicer than the new Brickheadz bunny, this is set 40086 from 2014 and is a very quick build being only 106 pieces, though it came in a proper box and not a polybag.
What increases the cuteness factor here is that the ears are poseable so you can have a lop-eared bunny, or have its ears straight up (alert bun!) or a mix of angles, which certainly adds character. The arms swing out from the body also, but only in the horizontal plane, but it means you can keep the carrot out of the way so the shaped body section is more visible past all that orange-ness.
The design makes good use of curves and slopes to give the correct rabbit-like shape, with the front white and grey belly made as a separate section that’s fixed on via the delightfully named “brick with knobs” elements. The same system holds the rear section complete with white bobtail in place also.
It’s definitely worth hunting down to add to your collection – mine has been appropriated by mum, who admires the cars and other builds but couldn’t resist the ears here!
