The First Official KPop Demon Hunters Lego Set Launches Soon

Lego K-Pop Demon Hunters: Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird (825 pieces) 70 | Releases August 1 Preorder at Lego Store It's been about a year since KPop Demon Hunters made its big debut on Netflix, and it's hard to say what people love more: the songs, the visuals, Jinu's bad boy vibe, or Rumi's moment of truth when she embraces who she is for the first time. One of my personal favorite highlights is Derpy the tiger and his magpie buddy Sussie, and now Lego has announced a new set featuring the dynamic duo launching August 1. Fans can preorder the 825-piece set for 70 at Lego's online store. Lego K-Pop Demon Hunters: Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird (825 pieces) 70 | Releases August 1 The main part of the 825-piece build is a posable Derpy Tiger figure that lets you adjust everything his head, legs, and paws, and customize his expression with the included removable tongue piece. The Sussie figure features a rotating neck and movable feet. The set also includes Sussie's flowerpot and Juni's Hello, Friend and Save the Date notes as accessories. If you pop Sussie into his favorite spot on Derpy's head, this kit measures 8.5 inches high, 6 inches long, and 6 inches wide. Preorder at Lego Store Derpy was designed by Wes Talbott, Senior Design Master in the LEGO Group, who said the project was an instant yes for him. “I had already watched the movie a few times, and as soon as I heard about it, I knew I wanted to work on it,” Talbott says. “It’s just one of those stories you want to share.” If you're wondering if there will be more Kpop Demon Hunters Lego sets on the way, good news: Lego says this is just the beginning on its new Kpop Demon Hunters page, so chances are the company will announce more sets soon. (Please don't sleep on Bobby, Lego!) In the meantime, there's plenty of other KPop Demon Hunters merch available, including official America Girl figures of the Hunterix trio Mira, Rumi, and Zoey; Squishmallow plushies of Sussie and Derpy; and more.
