Lego Have Unveiled Their First Ever Disabled Minifigure

We all know that representation is so important for children, especially when it comes to the media they consume, and the toys they play with every day. The recent controversy when there was virtually no Rey merchandise created for Star Wars fans is a perfect example of this, and it has become more of a talking point in recent years. In good news, Lego recently revealed their first-ever mini figure with a disability at The Nuremberg Toy Fair. One of the new figures is wearing a beanie and using a wheelchair, and even comes with a helper dog.

This is great news and a positive step for the representation of disabled people, and will go a long way towards normalising disability for young able-bodied Lego fans. Lead Image via Wikipedia
