KPop Demon Hunters has rapidly emerged as a significant pop culture phenomenon since its debut last year. The franchise has gained a massive following, leading to various merchandise releases. Fans have seen action figures, roleplay toys, and even a collaboration with Magic: The Gathering, but the latest announcement emphasizes a prominent expansion: new Lego sets.
KPop Demon Hunters and Lego Collaboration
This morning, Lego officially announced its partnership with KPop Demon Hunters to create a series of sets. The collaboration has generated excitement among fans but also highlighted the timeline for releases. While a single set is set to be unveiled in 2026, additional sets are expected to follow in 2027.
First Set Details
The teaser video released by Lego suggests that the initial set will not center on the show’s main characters, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. Instead, it will focus on Derpy, the magical tiger. The brief glimpse in the video shows Derpy captivated by knocking over a plant pot, hinting that this first set may take the form of a display model rather than a traditional playset.
- Release Date: First set to be revealed in Spring 2026.
- Future Sets: Additional sets projected for release in 2027.
- First Set Focus: Derpy the magical tiger.
Limited Character Inclusion
As the anticipation builds, there is concern about the number of minifigures that will come with the initial set. Including Rumi is nearly essential due to her connection with Derpy, but fans might not see the entire trio, including Jinu and any of the other Saja Boys, until 2027.
The extensive timeline for future merchandise allows KPop Demon Hunters to maintain a steady presence in the market. With a sequel not slated until 2029, fans can expect the merchandise line to evolve significantly in the coming years.
