LEGO Friends character in new summer set uses a familiar BTS hairpiece
LEGO Friends character Niko seems to have got a summer makeover, and his hairstyle is definitely familiar to those who know Jeon Jungkook from BTS.
Earlier this year when 21339 BTS Dynamite was released, an incredibly high number of fans expressed huge interest in the set. The set itself shows off scenes from the music video ‘Dynamite’, along with the classy outfits that the seven members wore in the second half of the music video.
From that set, Jungkook’s minifigure has, as accurate to the video, wavy hair that’s been parted to one side. The hairpiece was specially customised for the set, and hasn’t been used elsewhere according to BrickLink – at least, up until now.
In one of the LEGO Friends summer sets to be released, 41757 Botanical Garden, there’s a character called Niko who we’ve only seen once in LEGO form before, in 41731 Heartlake International School. In that set, his hair was a lot straighter and was parted in the middle.
However, in the Botanical Garden set, he seems to have a very familiar hairpiece – the exact one that Jungkook uses in 21339 BTS Dynamite. We can’t exactly claim we know the exact reasoning behind the minor change, and there’s no information about the character on the LEGO Friends website, it’s essentially anyone’s guess.
41757 Botanical Garden will, like several of the LEGO Group’s other summer sets, be released on June 1, and comes with 1,072 pieces as well as two other mini-doll figures to explore the garden.
