PHOTO - Prince Harry in LEGORambo royal Prince Harry’s front-line heroics have won him a new image as a hardnut Lego toy.

The Army hero, 23, who is just back from war-torn Afghanistan, has been turned into a model soldier in the famous little bricks.

Mini-Harry is a one-off tribute by Canadian artist Sarah Mackenzie, who copied the image from newspaper pictures of the fighting Prince.

She has given the toy a black Lego machine-gun, a helmet with dust-defying goggles, and a backpack for his grenades and binoculars.

Now royal fan Sarah, from British Columbia, is auctioning her creation on eBay. And last night it was going at just £12.50. Toy fans fancying a spot of rest and recreation with Lego Harry will find he even has ammunition pockets painted on his chest so he does not have to reach far to reload his gun.

The model is the latest in her line of custom Lego sets including politicians and movies characters like Star Wars Jedis and Matrix star Keanu Reeves’ Neo alter ego.

“I came up with the idea for Harry after seeing him on the news,” she said. “He looked like a real person, his hair unkempt and rugged facial hair.

“Canadians have strong ties to the Royal Family and I think it was a morale booster. It’s nice to see a Royal down and dirty, and not because of a polo match.” (via Daily Star)
