LIMITED-EDITION mini-figures of the Big Yin will go on sale in a Glasgow shopping centre, it has been announced. 

Billy Connolly will lend his likeness in miniature form to the collectors' items, to be sold in the toy giant's Buchanan Galleries store for one day only. 

The toys will be released in different models, each representing a stage in the career of Glasgow's favourite comedian: The Musician Yin, The Funny Yin, The Biker Yin, The Actor Yin and The Artist Yin. 

Only 750 will be released in total and all the profits will go to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. 

500 of the single Funny Yins will be available for a minimum £10 donation, and a further 50 full sets of all five Wee Big Yins will be available for a minimum £50 charity donation. With limited stock, the range of mini-figures will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis.

Kathy Murdoch, Centre Manager, Buchanan Galleries, said: “We wanted to celebrate one of the most famous and much-loved celebrities in Scotland, whilst raising funds for a very worthwhile cause so we’re thrilled to be able to bring Billy to life in miniature form.  

“The figurines have been created from genuine Lego bricks, an iconic toy for many people, and we’re sure they will become a real collector’s item.

“We have been supporting Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity for a number of years now and our shoppers have shown incredible generosity to our charity appeal which has been helping children and their families overcome life-changing treatments for 20 years.

“The work that they do in the city is invaluable and makes such a difference to children from across Scotland, and we’re proud to offer them our continued support.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing shopper’s reactions to the Wee Big Yins and can’t wait for them to go on sale on Saturday, September 4.”
