LEGO KPop Demon Hunters Opens with Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird
One of Netflix's most-watched animated films of 2025 finally gets its first build. The 825-piece Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird ($69.99) arrives August 1 as a buildable figure set, with swappable expressions and a secret compartment. No minifigures yet, but Brick Fanatics notes the theme is built to expand into a bigger 2027 wave.
Two 2026 themes now opening with a buildable figure before a full launch. The format is a calculated hedge: a sub-$70 giftable build carries less risk than a full wave on an untested license. Whether both properties get full minifigure treatment in 2027 will confirm if this is LEGO's new licensing on-ramp or coincidence.
