Set designer Matthew Ashton, Lego’s vice president of design, said in the company’s statement, “I wanted to create a model that symbolises inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love.

“Everyone is unique, and with a little more love, acceptance and understanding in the world, we can all feel more free to be our true AWESOME selves! This model shows that we care, and that we truly believe ‘Everyone is awesome’!”

The new product’s specifications state, “Presented in a spectrum of colors, this buildable display includes 11 monochrome minifigures against a rainbow backdrop.”

They add, “Each minifigure features its own color scheme with matching hairpiece, showcasing the diversity we see in the world around us.”

The set “will be available through LEGO.com and LEGO branded stores” according to the statement.

“We’re super excited to reveal our new set — LEGO Everyone is Awesome! Because we celebrate every LEGO builder #LEGO #EveryoneIsAwesome,” Lego tweeted.
