This unofficial Nosferatu BrickHeadz is adorably evil
Just don’t display him in sunlight.
Typical. You wait for one adorable BrickHeadz and two come along at once. Granted, this fan-made Lego Nosferatu BrickHeadz doesn’t quite reach the dizzy cutness heights of this official Lego Dumbo BrickHeadz. But we still want to give this bricky Nosferatu Count Orlok a hug, even if we do get nipped in the process.
It’s the work of Lego builder Headsbrick, who crafted several unofficial BrickHeadz, including Tom and Jerry, Garfield, The Grinch and more. This model is a BrickHeadz take on Count Orlok, protagonist of Nosferatu, a 1922 movie that was, itself, a deeply unofficially adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
How unofficial? Bram Stoker’s heirs sued and many copies of the movie were destroyed but several survived and the movie’s now regarded as a classic. Certainly, Count Orlok’s toothy, pointy-eared appearance, captured by Headsbrick/AFOL18, is a world away from Dracula’s more aristocratic look.
We’re especially impressed with those tiny, tiny teeth; Headsbrick has crammed so much detail into this figure, given it’s the same size as official BrickHeadz. And while they don’t appear to have submitted the model to Lego Ideas, we’ve got our fingers crossed that Lego gives Headsbrick a call.

We’re not kidding, either. Count Orlok might not seem very PG, but there’s already a vampire in Lego’s DnD minifigure range and, compared to some vampire films, the 1922 original is short on gore. And if Jaws can get its own Lego set, why not this pointy-eared, befanged little guy?
