Get ready to unleash your inner demon hunter—LEGO is diving headfirst into the world of K-Pop Demon Hunters with a brand-new series of sets launching this summer! But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any collaboration; it’s a partnership with Netflix, the streaming giant behind the blockbuster animated film that’s taken the world by storm. According to the official announcement (https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2026/february/lego-kpop-demon-hunters-sets), the first set will be unveiled for preorder this spring, with more to follow in 2027. And this is the part most people miss—a teaser hints that the inaugural set will feature Derpy, the mischievous supernatural feline from the movie, complete with a playful scene of Derpy’s foot knocking over a flowerpot. Aimed at ages 9+, LEGO promises this set will be a perfect blend of playability and display appeal. Could it also include Sussie the magpie? Only time will tell.
K-Pop Demon Hunters has been nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. Not only has it become Netflix’s most-watched title (https://www.ign.com/articles/kpop-demon-hunters-is-the-most-popular-netflix-movie-ever), but its impact extends far beyond the screen. The film’s music has dominated the charts, with the song “Golden” snagging three Grammy nominations and taking home one award. But here’s the controversial part: while some praise the film’s blend of action, humor, and music, others argue it’s overhyped. What do you think? In our review (https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/huntr-x-golden-global-charts-number-one-jan-10-1236149069/), critic Toussaint Egan hailed it as a “terrific directorial debut” for animator Maggie Kang, spotlighting the charismatic trio of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. Whether you’re a fan or a skeptic, there’s no denying its global appeal.
This isn’t LEGO’s first rodeo with Netflix—they’ve previously teamed up for sets inspired by Stranger Things (https://www.ign.com/articles/lego-stranger-things-the-creel-house-where-to-buy) and the live-action One Piece series (https://www.ign.com/articles/all-lego-one-piece-sets). Meanwhile, LEGO fans have plenty to look forward to in 2026. February kicked off with new releases, including Pokémon sets (https://www.ign.com/articles/pokemon-lego-sets-where-to-buy), and March promises to be a blockbuster month with eight Smart Play Star Wars sets (https://www.ign.com/articles/legos-first-smart-brick-star-wars-sets-where-to-buy), four LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight sets (https://www.ign.com/articles/new-batman-lego-sets-legacy-of-the-dark-knight-where-to-buy), and even Sauron’s Helmet (https://www.ign.com/articles/where-to-buy-lego-the-lord-of-the-rings-saurons-helmet).
But here’s the real question: Will the K-Pop Demon Hunters sets live up to the hype? Or is this just another cash grab riding on the film’s success? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
