One of the latest sets from toy manufacturer LEGO signifies a massive step towards inclusivity and gender equality, according to reports.

The ‘LEGO City’ range includes a number of new mini-figurines including a working mum, a stay-at-home dad and a kid in a wheelchair.

President of LEGO Systems Soren Torp Laursen told Fortune that these figures are reflective of world that we live in.

He explained: “We need to stay in tune with the world around us. We aren’t responding to demand from anyone.
