Lego has officially launched a new merchandise set inspired by the popular animated film KPop Demon Hunters. The set features the fan-favorite characters Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird. This collaboration stands out for its production timeline, as designers moved from the initial concept to a finished model in record time following the movie's success on Netflix.
The 825-piece kit includes interactive design elements that reflect the personalities of the two main characters. Builders can adjust the facial expressions of the Derpy figure and utilize the rotating neck and feet of the Sussie model. These poseable features allow fans to recreate specific moments from the film at home.
Attention to detail was a priority during the design process. The team tested multiple iterations of Derpy’s distinctive eyes to ensure an accurate representation before finalizing the product. The set also includes small accessories such as a flower pot and love notes, which are direct references to key scenes from the movie. The model includes a hidden storage compartment inside the head of the Derpy figure.
This release is the latest addition to the growing range of merchandise tied to the KPop Demon Hunters property. In addition to the new construction set, Netflix has confirmed plans for a global concert tour later this year. The set is now available for purchase through major retailers for fans aged nine and up.
