Lego KPop Demon Hunters set teased, and "this is just the beginning"

Lego just teased a KPop Demon Hunters set for 2026 - or, more specifically, a Derpy kit.

The collaboration is teased through a seconds-long trailer that shows Derpy the supernatural tiger knocking over a plant pot, just like the clumsy demon does in the movie. And even though we don't get a good look at the model itself, it seems to be minifigure scale judging by its size in relation to said plant pot. Perhaps he'll be packaged with a Rumi or Jinu minifg? Even if not, we can assume they'll show up at some point. According to the announcement page, more Lego KPop Demon Hunters sets are coming ("this is just the beginning," it promises).

Judging by the pieces used for Derpy, this is going to be part of a playset rather than a larger display piece of the kind you'd see amongst the best Lego sets. The flower pot displayed in the footage uses pieces that are pretty small (with the flowers themselves being the classic single studs), and while Derpy's leg is at least two times the item's height, that still means the full body isn't going to be much more than a few inches.

Honestly, it's not a surprise to see the movie cross over into brick-built replicas. KPop Demon Hunters was a smash-hit last year, so the question was more of 'when' than 'if.' The question is how extensive the range is going to be. Are we just going to get a couple of sets with the major players included? Or will it be like the One Piece range, with a host of playsets and display pieces inspired by multiple moments? The latter was so much more ambitious than I expected, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of something similar here.
