Chainsaw Man & Hello Kitty Headline New Series Of Lego-Esque Construction Sets

Jazwares has launched a new line of officially licensed brick sets dubbed "BLDR," and the initial lineup has some big names, including Hello Kitty playsets and anime-inspired buildable action figures based on Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen. The launch lineup looks pretty great, and most of the sets cost $20 or less. Jazwares says the bricks are compatible "with all major construction brands," which means you should be able to expand your builds with Lego bricks and Mega Bloks.
BLDR Brick-Building Sets by Jazwares - Launch Lineup
Chainsaw Man (311 pieces) -- $20
Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuji Itadori (298 pieces) -- $20
Hello Kitty: Dream Cafe (354 pieces) -- $30
Hello Kitty: Keroppi Mart (269 pieces) -- $20
Hello Kitty: Badtz-Maru's Convertible (145 pieces) -- $10
Squishmallows: Outdoor Adventure Club (246 pieces) -- $33
Squishmallows: Patty's Farmer's Market (136 pieces) -- $20
Squishmallows: Sunny's Park Life (155 pieces) -- $20
Squishmallows: Avery's Ball Game (121 pieces) -- $20

The two anime sets looks especially good, because for $20, you're getting build-it-yourself action figures of two breakout stars in modern manga and anime. They have an impressive range of articulation and they come with character-accurate accessories to help replicate several of their iconic poses. If you like Lego's Construction Figure line, these look like the BLDR version of those.
Meanwhile, the Hello Kitty sets are just downright adorable. Based on the mega-popular Sanrio franchise, you can pick up three sets featuring Kitty White and her friends, including Keroppi Mart for $20, Dream Cafe for $30, and Badtz-Maru's Convertible for only $10. Each set includes BLDR's version of minifigures, and we think Jazwares did a great job capturing the Sanrio aesthetic.
The BLDR line also includes several sets based on Jazwares' Squishmallow plushie toys, resulting in more diorama pieces that can be easily displayed.
If you're interested in these, you may also want to keep Lego's newly announced One Piece series on your radar. These BLDR figures look like a pretty fun way to bide the time until Lego's foray into the world of anime arrives.
