A KPop Demon Hunters Lego set was teased back in February, and now we know for certain what form the brick-built collaboration will take: everyone’s favorite demon sidekick, Derpy Tiger! Sussie Bird is also included, as are two different notes and a flowerpot for Derpy to knock over as many times as he wants.
Lego’s Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird set clocks in at 825 pieces is available to pre-order now; it’s $70 and will start shipping August 1. It’s aimed at kids ages 9 and up, but that “and up” means full-grown Lego adults can also proudly build and display this thing.
“Choose from two expressions to show off the tiger’s goofy grin or let him deliver a sweet love note on his tongue. Pose the duo using their movable features, then pop the magpie on the tiger’s head for a true bird’s-eye view! The set includes two love notes and a flowerpot for the tiger to knock over. When playtime is over, store the accessories in the secret compartment in Derpy’s head,” according to Lego.
August 1 is really not too terrible of a wait considering fans have been hungering for KPop Demon Hunters toys and merch since the Netflix release became an unexpected sensation last year.
The movie pocketed a pair of Oscars before the onslaught of dolls, games, and other longed-for items hit shelves, but the wait will be over soon if the Lego turnaround time is any indication.
Not coming anytime soon is KPop Demon Hunters 2—but we can be assured that when the sequel arrives, Netflix and company will be fully prepared this time around, ready to go with all the tie-in trinkets, Halloween costumes, t-shirts, fast food meals, and whatever else they and their marketing departments can dream up.
