‘Golden Girls’ Lego set could become reality

WASHINGTON — Fans of the sitcom “Golden Girls” are thanking thousands of people for being a friend after supporting a campaign to create a Lego set of the show. Last month, Sam Hatmaker — a fan of the 80s TV show — designed a Lego set via the LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing community. By Thursday afternoon, the project collected the 10,000 votes necessary for Lego to consider producing the set. Lego has not yet approved the project, however. The “Golden Girls” set includes five mini-figures including Dorothy, Rose, Sophia, Blanche and Stanley as well as popular backdrops from the show such as the foyer, living room and kitchen.

Hatmaker says he even took the time to recreate some of the show’s notable scenes. “I have recreated many classic scenes from the show, including a visit from Burt Reynolds, Rose shooting Blanche’s Vase, Dorothy Playing ‘Grab That Dough’ and Rose rescuing her Teddy Bear from a mean little girl,” he wrote on the LEGO Ideas page. LEGO Ideas has born other popular culture toys such as a “Back To The Future” DeLorean and a “Doctor Who” set. h/t: TIME
