Tupac Becomes a LEGO Toy

Lego 2PacAdly Syairi Ramly

Tupac is back — in LEGO form. The legendary late rapper has been turned into a LEGO-style toy courtesy of designer Adly Syairi Ramly.


The doll features the West Coast MC’s signature “Thug Life” tattoo on his shirtless body as well as a white bandana and sagging jeans. Pac continues the designer’s foray into creating LEGO musicians. Ramly’s LEGO series features 20 music icons like the Beastie Boys and the Beatles.


“Thank you for the acknowledgements everyone. It is truly overwhelming and such an honor,” the artist shared on Instagram about the series.


Ramly isn’t the only one to recreate popular images with LEGOs. In 2012, Aaron Savage recreated famous album covers with the children’s blocks.
