Daft Punk doesn't have their own [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-cdj-2000-nexus) characters available for purchase, but Jake Meier AKA "autorazr" has created custom, miniature versions of the [digital music duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-1) that are simply fantastic. The little characters that Meier has designed come dressed in their signature leather jackets and -- of course -- their digital robot helmets.

Additionally, the characters also have custom DJ equipment that Meier also made using [LEGO building blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-eras-tour-poster). Fans of the music duo and LEGO alike are sure to be delighted by Meier AKA autorazr's creation that is sadly not available for purchase. The artist, however, is encouraging fans to share the creation, let their opinion be heard and support if they can to get the Daft Punk characters made into purchasable pieces that come in a proper LEGO set.
