Major Brick Compatible Shields & Riot Gear Guide

Few accessories transform a tactical scene like a shield. Major Brick Compatible shields and riot gear turn ordinary figures into a breach team or a riot-control line, adding that unmistakable wall-of-defense look. Here's your guide to compatible shields and riot gear, and how to use them.

Why shields make a tactical scene

A shield instantly communicates a defensive or entry role. A line of figures behind riot shields reads as a coordinated unit, and a single breacher with a ballistic shield anchors an entry scene. Shields add depth, drama, and realism that weapons alone can't.

Types of shields and riot gear

• Ballistic shields — for SWAT entry and breach teams.
• Riot shields — taller shields for crowd-control lines.
• Riot helmets & visors — the matching headgear that completes the look.
• Body armor — vests that bulk out the figure for a protected silhouette.

Find shields and tactical gear in the weapons and gear collection, and pair them with figures from the military collection.

A riot-control set with shields and matched helmets is the fastest way to build a defensive line.

How shields attach

Most compatible shields clip into a minifigure's hand or attach via a clip on the arm. Quality shields grip firmly without forcing the hand apart. Look for ABS-plastic pieces with crisp detail and a secure fit.

Building a riot or SWAT team

• Front line — figures with shields and helmets.
• Support — figures behind with batons or weapons.
• A leader — distinguished by gear or position.
• Consistent gear — matched shields and helmets read as a unit.

The bottom line

Shields and riot gear are the accessories that turn figures into a tactical team. Choose ABS-plastic shields with a secure fit, match them with helmets and armor, and build a coordinated line. Browse the Brick Bros weapons and gear collection to equip your team.
