Here’s a collectible that actually does something: MGA Entertainment has announced MGA’s Miniverse Real Music, an all-new miniature music experience featuring fully playable mini vinyls and a real working mini record player. The collaboration with Bravado, Universal Music Group’s industry-leading licensing and brand management division, brings together powerhouse artists across pop, rock, hip-hop, reggae, and soul including Britney Spears, The Beach Boys, Def Leppard, Public Enemy, Amy Winehouse, Imagine Dragons, Elton John, Blink-182, Bob Marley, and more. With 20+ songs to collect including “…Baby One More Time,” “Rocket Man,” and “Fight the Power,” fans can build the ultimate mini music library that’s perfectly detailed, pocket-sized, and delivers an authentic listening experience right in the palm of your hand. Pre-orders begin April 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM PT at shop.mgae.com, with orders expected to ship June 2026.
The Revolutionary Concept
MGA’s Miniverse Real Music transforms music fandom into something you can unbox, style, showcase, and spin.
The mini vinyls aren’t decorative replicas. They’re functional records that play on the accompanying Real Music Record Player, a real working mini turntable with retro-inspired styling. The concept takes vinyl’s emotional resonance, the tactile satisfaction that’s driven the format’s resurgence, and reinvents it in miniature form that actually works.
“Miniverse is built on the idea that small can still be extraordinary,” explains Josh Hackbarth, Chief Marketing Officer at MGA Entertainment. “With Real Music, we’re taking the emotional power of vinyl and reinventing it in miniature form that’s fully playable, completely unexpected, and redefines what a collectible can actually do.”
The format occupies unique territory: collectible enough for display, functional enough for actual use, surprising enough to generate the social media moments that drive modern toy culture.
The Artist Roster
The Bravado partnership brings nine globally renowned artists into the Miniverse collectible category, spanning genres and generations.
Britney Spears — Pop’s defining late-’90s voice, represented by “…Baby One More Time” among the confirmed tracks.
Elton John — “Rocket Man” brings the legendary singer-songwriter’s catalog into miniature form.
Public Enemy — “Fight the Power” delivers hip-hop’s revolutionary voice in pocket-sized format.
Bob Marley — Reggae’s most iconic figure joins the collection, his legacy continuing through new mediums.
Amy Winehouse — The singular voice lost too soon, preserved in collectible form for fans who never stopped listening.

Blink-182 — Pop-punk’s defining band, bridging generations of fans.
With 20+ songs to collect across these artists, the mystery blind ball format ensures building the complete library requires dedication.
