LEGO has officially revealed its first Dragon Ball product: a 1,764-piece Shenron and Goku display set scheduled for November 2026. The $179.99 model launches through LEGO Stores, LEGO.com, and licensed distributors, giving fans their first official LEGO interpretation of the long-running anime franchise while also setting the stage for more Dragon Ball products.
What Happened
Listed as LEGO Icons set 11390, Dragon Ball: Shenron and Goku recreates the legendary green dragon rising above all seven Dragon Balls. It is designed as a display model rather than a recreation of a particular fight or location. Shenron’s head and claws can be repositioned, while Kid Goku and Kintoun—the Flying Nimbus in English-language versions—can be removed and moved around the build.
The finished model stands more than 12.5 inches (32 centimeters) tall, 9.5 inches (24 centimeters) long, and 10 inches (26 centimeters) wide. It carries an 18+ age rating and includes one minifigure: Kid Goku riding Kintoun. LEGO says the design draws specifically from the original Dragon Ball series, with its designers studying animation frames and recognizable character poses.
Why It Matters
This is the first officially announced LEGO Dragon Ball set, making it an important test for the franchise’s move into one of the world’s best-known construction-toy lines. The model is not part of the larger group of at least eight products previously rumored for the Dragon Ball theme. Instead, it arrives first under the established LEGO Icons label.
LEGO confirmed that additional Dragon Ball sets are coming in 2027, although it has not announced their designs. That makes Shenron and Goku both a standalone collector piece and an early signal of how the company is approaching the license: a premium display build first, followed by a broader range that may appeal to fans of different eras.
What to Watch Next
LEGO Insiders will receive access on November 1, 2026, ahead of the general release on November 4. Fans should also watch for the company’s first official details on the 2027 lineup. Earlier reports have pointed toward Dragon Ball Z-focused products, including rumored builds based on Goku versus Raditz, Arrival on Namek, and Frieza’s Spaceship. A buildable Vegeta and a brick-built Kame House have also been mentioned in leaks, but none of those products has been officially announced.
The rumored theme has been associated with an April 2027 release window. Until LEGO confirms specific sets, that timing and lineup should be treated as unverified.

Expert View
LEGO is making a confident opening move by starting with Shenron, one of Dragon Ball’s most recognizable images, instead of leading with a conventional battle scene. The large footprint and premium price position this as a centerpiece for collectors, while the confirmation of more products gives the franchise room to expand into characters, locations, and iconic moments. The real measure of the theme will come in 2027, when LEGO must show that Dragon Ball can support more than one striking display model.
