It’s taken a while for the merchandising world to catch up with KPop Demon Hunters coming out of nowhere last year to become arguably the breakout pop culture sensation of 2025. Which means its inevitable merch-ification has come in drips and drabs: action figures and roleplay toys here, a Magic: The Gathering collab there, even some fancy Hot Toys figures. Now, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey are taking perhaps the most obvious stop yet on their merch tour yet: Lego.
Well, maybe they aren’t first, it seems. It could take us a while for the girls to show up.
This morning, Lego announced that it would indeed be working on a range of sets based on KPop Demon Hunters—but also confirmed that the roll-out means you won’t actually be getting much any time soon. A single set for 2026 will be revealed and released this spring, with a follow-up line of sets to come sometime in 2027.

As for what that 2026 set could be, Lego’s teaser video announcing the collaboration seems to indicate that it won’t focus on HUNTR/X themselves, but instead Derpy the magical tiger, as we see his bricky blue paw performing one of his favorite pastimes in knocking over a plant pot.
The scale of the build in the teaser makes this seem more in line with a buildable display model than a playset featuring the character—which could mean that included minifigures are scarce. Lego would be foolish to not include a Rumi at the very least, if not also a Jinu, considering the duo’s shared connection with Derpy, but the chances of getting all three main girls or any of the other Saja Boys before 2027 seem unlikely.
We’ll have to wait and see what Lego’s got cooking up whenever it gets round to revealing the full set—after all, with a sequel not due until 2029, there’s going to be plenty of time to keep the KPop Demon Hunters merch train rolling.
