Toymaker Lego is set to release its first mini-figure that uses a wheelchair.
The company plans to debut the figure and a service dog this summer.
A Change.org petition, with over 20,000 signatures, asked Lego to feature more characters with disabilities.
The group behind the petition said in a statement, the move "will speak volumes to children, disabled or otherwise, the world over."
The new figures are part of the "Lego City" line, set to debut in June.
