LEGO and Harley-Davidson have teamed up to create a mini LEGO replica of the iconic Fat Boy motorcycle.
This 1023-piece Harley-Davidson Fat Boy LEGO model captures the beauty of the real-life vehicle with finishes, surfaces, and design elements intricately crafted to imitate the full-size Milwaukee big bike. It features solid-disc Lakester wheels with beefy tires, teardrop fuel tank with Harley-Davidson logos, and a built-in speedometer.
The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy replica also boasts a number of moveable parts for builders to engage. Spinning the rear tire, for instance, will bring the motorcycle’s Milwaukee-Eight engine to life. Builders can also turn the handlebar, move the gear shift and brake levers, and flip down the bike’s kickstand for easy parking.
Finished with an authentic dark red and black color scheme with the recognizable Harley-Davidson logos on each side, this LEGO model — which measures over 7 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 12 inches long — is a perfect display centerpiece for home, office, or even the garage.
“Bringing this Harley-Davidson motorcycle to life in brick form is incredibly exciting,” said Mike Psiaki, design master at LEGO Group in a statement. “The model truly captures the iconic design, advanced engineering and attention to detailof this iconic motorcycle, offering an immersive building experience and a unique collector’s item for Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and LEGO fans of all ages.”
“It’s been exceptionally exciting for Harley-Davidson to collaborate with the LEGO Group – another brand that champions creativity and expression,” added Heather Malenshek, chief marketing officer at Harley-Davidson. “Not only do we want customers to be inspired by the end result, we want them to enjoy the building process.”
The LEGO Creator Expert Harley-Davidson Fat Boy model will be available for $99.99 from LEGO Stores and shop.LEGO.com exclusively for VIP members starting July 17th. The general public, meanwhile, can purchase the toy beginning August 1st. Customers in the U.S. will also be able to get the model on Harley-Davidson.com and through Harley-Davidson Dealers across the country.
To celebrate the upcoming launch of the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy LEGO model, LEGO Master Builders created a life-size LEGO version of the motorcycle, complete with silver coated parts, Wi-Fi animation control, 6,000 special LEGO elements, and sound and light effects to replicate a real Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. Made of 69,569 pieces, the amazing creation took 865 hours to build and will be displayed at select LEGO stores and Harley-Davidson events for all the fans to see.
