LEGO KPop Demon Hunters Set Confirmed for August 1, 2026

As licensed tie-ins keep turning pop-culture hits into collectible ecosystems, LEGO has now given KPop Demon Hunters fans their first major brick-built arrival—an officially licensed set slated for August 1, 2026. The announcement follows the animated movie’s breakout on Netflix, where it quickly became a top-watched original and overall film.

A Netflix breakout gets its first LEGO spotlight

KPop Demon Hunters launched on Netflix in June 2025 and quickly became a phenomenon. Within a month, Netflix confirmed it was the platform’s most watched original animated movie of all time, and soon after it rose to become the most watched film overall. By December 2025, the series had surpassed 500 million views on Netflix.

That momentum created a clear demand for official merchandise—until now. Nearly a year after the debut, LEGO has revealed the first officially licensed KPop Demon Hunters LEGO set, built around the Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird duo.

Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird set: preorder details and build features

LEGO’s first KPop Demon Hunters release is the Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird set, available for preorder via LEGO’s website ahead of its August 1, 2026 release date. The set is priced at $69.99 and includes 825 pieces.

The builds are designed to translate the characters’ personalities into blocky form. The Sussie Bird build features a rotating head and movable feet. Derpy Tiger, meanwhile, comes with movable legs and paws, along with a posable head.

LEGO is also adding expressive options for Derpy Tiger. Fans can create two alternate expressions: one with a vacant stare and smile, and another that reflects a moment from the movie where Derpy Tiger opens its mouth to deliver a note to a main protagonist. The set includes two pieces inspired by the notes seen in KPop Demon Hunters, plus a small brick-built flower pot that can be used to recreate Derpy Tiger’s awkward entrance.

What’s next after the first wave?

This August 1 set is positioned as the first entry in a broader LEGO KPop Demon Hunters range. Back in February, LEGO announced an official collaboration with Netflix and the KPop Demon Hunters IP. That earlier announcement indicated one set would be available for preorder in spring, with additional sets planned for release in 2027.

At this stage, the source does not confirm what future sets will look like, when specifically in 2027 they’ll arrive, or whether they’ll include minifigures. It also remains unclear if LEGO will use mini-dolls introduced with LEGO Friends in 2012. Still, the franchise’s character designs have already appeared as alternate skins in Fortnite’s LEGO game mode, suggesting at least some crossover-friendly character styling has been established.

Expert View

This announcement signals that KPop Demon Hunters isn’t just landing as a one-off streaming hit—it’s becoming a franchise LEGO can build a long-term collectible pipeline around. For the community, the timing matters: the set arrives after Netflix’s peak viewership milestones, which typically strengthens licensing momentum and reduces the odds of stalled merch plans. For the wider market, it’s another example of how mainstream entertainment IP can quickly translate into physical products—an approach that also tends to reinforce brand visibility in gaming spaces where the characters already show up via skins and crossover content.
