The Spice Girls are Coming to Lego

The Lego Group has unveiled the Lego BrickHeadz Spice Girls Tribute set. This is a first, as actual people have never been immortalized in the Lego BrickHeadz style before now. 

In celebration of the new Lego set, photographer Rankin has brought the brick band to life, recreating images originally shot in Rankin’s studio. 

The new Lego Brickheadz set comes with mini versions of each Spice Girl, equipped with microphones and stands. Details that gave the girls their style has been faithfully captured in brick, from hairstyles to clothing. Fans will find new leopard print Lego bricks for Mel B’s look, along with Melanie C’s tracksuit and Emma’s baby pink dress. Whilst Victoria can be found in her trademark black dress. 

The set would not be complete without Geri’s Union Jack dress. Lego designers have carefully recreated the famous dress, which became a lasting symbol of Cool Britannia and made headlines across the world following the performance of ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ at the BRIT Awards 25 Years ago. 

“There are few bands that defined pop culture in the same way the Spice Girls did back in the 1990s, and it’s been such fun bringing the band to life in our BrickHeadz style,” says Daniel Squirrell, designer, Lego. “This is the first time we have created a music band in BrickHeadz form and what we really, really wanted was to capture the essence and nostalgia of the Spice Girls, through their iconic looks. I am delighted with the set and I hope the fans are too.” 

The LEGO BrickHeadz Spice Girls will be available at Lego stores and on Lego.com/Spice-Girls starting March 1.
