It has been revealed that a very unexpected LEGO® BrickHeadz set will soon be released, the Spice Girls Tribute set (40548) which includes all 5 singers who formed the popular 90s pop girl band… The Spice Girls! It is unknown when this set will be released but we can see it on the LEGO Building Instructions database.

In April 2020 LEGO® announced that they had partnered with the Universal Music Group (UMG) which makes me wonder how many more LEGO® sets we can expect to see within the Music genre.

This is the first music related LEGO® BrickHeadz official set that has been designed, with sets like the LEGO Arts Elvis Presley “The King” and now this I am hoping that some more great music related sets will be released. Time will tell on that one!

This Spice Girls Tribute set (40548) features all 5 Spice Girls, these are Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham.

Those of you that do not know English footballer David Beckham (Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh Spice) is also a massive fan of LEGO® so he must so ecstatic to hear his wife is being made in LEGO® form!

There’s not a lot of information about these new LEGO® Brickheadz but from what I can see they look amazing and really capture what each one of the Spice Girls looked like back in the late 1990s.

I will be keeping an eye out for the release date on these so be prepared for more information soon!

**UPDATE**

Official images have been released (see below) and LEGO® have confirmed you will be able to purchase this set for $49.99. Want to bookmark the link on the LEGO® website? Here it is!
