K-pop boy band BTS might be on hiatus, but fans can still enjoy the superstar pop group – albeit in miniature.
Lego, the popular toy brick brand from Denmark, has launched a new set based on the septet’s Dynamite music video ($159.90).
The 749-piece collection includes mini-figures of each band member, along with set pieces from the video, such as the doughnut shop, record store and ice-cream truck.
It is a product of the Lego Ideas programme, which allows regular people to submit their own design ideas for Lego sets, which are then voted on by Lego fans.
