Whether you want to “stand up for your rights” or “turn your lights down low”, Lego Bob Marley is your ultimate Lego companion. The dread-donning singing sensation is not only an unofficial symbol of the rastafarians and of Jamaica but a hero in his own right as well.

Nesta Robert Marley hails from a small village in Jamaica and by the time he got a passport, his name appeared as Robert Nesta Marley –a rather crude mistake. Bob’s father is an English captain of the Royal Marines. He married Bob’s mother Cedella Booker who was only 18 years old at the time. As a young boy, he was always teased by others because of his color and his mixed racial origins. The “One Love” singer faced questions with regards to his racial identity all his life.

The singer once said “I don’t have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side nor the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.”

Although Bob Marley acknowledged his mixed ancestry, he was known as a black African. His songs “Black Survivor”, “Blackman Redemption” and “Babylon System” were all about the struggles of black people. He is also famous for his songs of freedom. Many people sang these songs during protest rallies and are also very popular among university students in all parts of the globe. Bob Marley is rasta personified and with him in Legoland, the Lego people will surely be having lots of reggae fun.

The Lego version of the famous singer was made by LegoLyons. LegoLyons sure is a talented Lego builder. It is no wonder he decided to make a Bob Marley look alike who is a very talented man.
