The set will be available for pre-sale globally on LEGO.com and will launch in stores starting Aug. 1.
In Netflix’s animated film, Derpy is a supernatural tiger from the underworld whose clumsy charm — knocking over flowerpots, unable to right them again. His character is based on the babo horangi, a recurring figure in Korean minhwa, a style of traditional folk painting that flourished during the Joseon era. The new set will let builders assemble the mischievous supernatural messenger and his watchful bird companion.
Last year, Mattel and Hasbro were named a global co-master toy licensees for “KPop Demon Hunters.” Themed products such as Uno, Monopoly, and dolls tied to the film have been released, with more to come.
The news comes as part of “KPop Demon Hunters” celebrates its one year anniversary. On June 20, there will be a Livestream Celebration on Netflix’s TikTok page, with fans being encouraged to put their “Light sticks up.”
The film was released on Netflix on June 20, 2025 and became one of the streaming platform’s biggest original film breakouts. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film follows KPop girl group Huntr/X who lead double lives as demon hunters.
After its debut on Netflix in June, “KPop Demon Hunters” viewership went up, up, up. According to end-of-year Nielsen data, the Netflix title was by far the most-streamed movie of 2025 with a whopping 20.5 billion viewing minutes in the U.S. alone.
The accolades also poured in. Earlier this year, EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, the singing voices of Huntr/X won a Grammy award when “Golden” won best song written for visual media.
A few weeks later, “Golden” nabbed best original song at the Oscars while the film triumphed in the best animated feature category.
