Lego and Netflix Team Up for ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Sets, Starting with a Surprisingly Affordable Derpy Model
Table of Contents
A collaboration between Lego and Netflix is officially underway, bringing the world of the animated musical KPop Demon Hunters to brick form. Initial rumors circulating at the end of 2025 have solidified with a recent Lego teaser and a detailed leak from Instagram content creator maxbautde, revealing plans for a 2026 release and a surprisingly budget-friendly first set.
The partnership was initially hinted at in late 2025, but remained unconfirmed until Lego’s recent announcement. A company release confirmed the collaboration and showcased a built leg – a nod to the beloved character Derpy from KPop Demon Hunters.
Leak Details the First ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Set: ‘Derpy & Susie’
According to maxbautde’s leak, the inaugural KPop Demon Hunters Lego set, titled “Derpy & Susie,” is slated for release on August 1, 2026. The set is categorized as a “Display-Modell,” signaling a focus on collectors rather than traditional play. Key details include:
- Name: Derpy & Susie
- Price: 70 Euro
- Piece Count: 825 stones
- Price Per Part: 8.5 Cent
- Category: Display-Modell
The leak confirms Derpy’s inclusion, a detail already hinted at by Lego’s teaser featuring the character.
A Surprisingly Affordable Price Point
One of the most surprising aspects of the leak is the set’s price per part. At 8.5 cents, it’s remarkably low for a licensed Lego set. “By Lego standards, this is extremely cheap, even compared to other series where the price was also praised – like One Piece,” one analyst noted. This suggests a potential retail price below 50 Euro if the set goes on sale.
Display Model Focus Signals a Shift in Strategy
Early rumors from December 2025 suggested Lego might utilize minidolls, similar to those found in the Lego Friends line, potentially indicating play-focused sets. However, the leak’s confirmation of a display model is a welcome surprise for adult collectors who often express dissatisfaction with minidolls. While minidolls may appear in sets released in 2027, the initial offering caters to a different audience.
Derpy and Susie Take Center Stage
The decision to feature Derpy and Susie, rather than the main protagonists, is an unconventional approach for a new licensed series. However, Lego’s choice appears to be strategically aligned with the film’s popularity. “Lego’s choice still makes sense, after all, they are two particularly popular characters in the film,” a source close to the project stated.
For those unfamiliar with the source material, KPop Demon Hunters has garnered a dedicated fanbase. One editor at time.news, Paul Kautz, initially skeptical, now enthusiastically recommends the animated musical after a viewing prompted by his daughter.
