In Honor of 25 Years of ‘Spice World,’ You Can Now Get Spice Girls LEGO
Pop culture-inspired LEGO sets are nothing new, but the iconic brick toy brand’s newest offering will tug right at the heartstrings of ‘90s kids the world over. In honor of 25 years of “Spice World”, LEGO is honoring everyone’s favorite girl group with their very own buildable set, so Spice Girls fans of multiple generations can get in on the girl power fun in a seriously cute way.
The LEGO BrickHeadz Spice Girls Tribute set ($49.99) pays tribute to all five Girls in the looks that have cemented their eternal status in pop culture history. The 578-piece set is designed for ages 16 and up, including tiny replicas of Emma, Geri, Melanie C, Mel B, and Victoria in action. And, of course, each figurine includes the Girls’ signature style moments, including Mel B’s leopard-print look, Mel C’s comfy tracksuit, Emma’s cotton candy-pink dress and blonde pigtails, Victoria’s timeless black minidress, and Geri’s cheeky Union Jack dress and fire-red hair.
Ahead of its release on March 1, LEGO designer Daniel Squirrell said in a statement that the set marks the first time actual people have ever gotten the BrickHeadz treatment, so it’s only fitting that the beloved, best-selling girl group bestows the honor. “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.”
“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,” Squirrell added.
It’s sure to sell out upon its release, so don’t miss your chance to snag this colorful, kitschy collector’s item as soon as you can. LEGO VIP members can enter a sweepstakes to win a set signed by each Spice Girl. Though fans will have to wait and see if the group’s highly anticipated reunion tour actually pans out (since Victoria Beckham has famously put her Posh days behind her), the set makes for the perfect dose of Spice Girls nostalgia in the interim. This year marks the 25-year release of the group’s campy comedy, “Spice World,” as well as the album of the same name, helping to secure their legacy as one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of all time.
