LEGO® Education is proud to announce a new line of BrickHeadz® based on significant world leaders to help children engage in current events and increase cultural awareness. The Politics@Play® limited edition series will feature world leaders both past and present from countries across the globe, enhancing cultural representation throughout LEGO® products.

LEGO® Chief Marketing Officer Julia Goldin said, “BrickHeadz® is the most popular product line at LEGO®, topping both Star Wars® and Nexo Knights® in total combined sales last year alone. By extending that winning formula into LEGO® Education, we expect our Politics@Play® limited edition series will not only entertain and educate students, but become sought-after collectors items that will increase in value and fund a child’s college expenses as well.”

The first set in the series, 41603 LEGO® Education BrickHeadz® Trump & Putin, focuses on friendship and cross-border cooperation. Future sets will highlight leaders that imbue other education areas like STEM performance in relation to trade negotiations, empathy between opposing cultures, and investment in the performing arts.
