LEGO and Netflix Unite for Exciting KPop Demon Hunters Collaboration

An epic fusion of LEGO and KPop Demon Hunters is here, bringing the hit animated film to life in colorful brick form.

If you’re anything like me, the idea of merging the creative worlds of LEGO and KPop Demon Hunters sounds like pure magic. These two giants—LEGO, the timeless toy classic, and Netflix, the streaming powerhouse—have come together to craft a collaboration that’s already sparking fan excitement. Imagine rebuilding your favorite scenes from the hit animated movie with bricks! Let’s dive into the details of this thrilling partnership.

Building the KPop Demon Hunters Universe Brick by Brick

For those who’ve been enchanted by KPop Demon Hunters, the news that LEGO will bring the beloved story to their iconic bricks is a dream come true. The first LEGO set centers on Derpy, the supernatural tiger who bursts onto the scene from the underworld. Fans of the movie know Derpy as the loyal pet of Jinu, the Saja Boys leader, but he soon becomes a trusted companion to Rumi, the Huntr/x leader.

In the teaser, we catch Derpy in a playful moment, knocking over a flowerpot—classic mischievous tiger vibes! This first set promises to capture that quirky spirit and charm for fans to recreate and display. What’s still a mystery is whether the LEGO KPop Demon Hunters will use the traditional minifigures, minidolls, or a fresh blend of both. For context, Huntr/x characters appeared as minifigures in the LEGO Fortnite collection, so the possibilities are wide open.

Derpy, the supernatural tiger, featured in Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters'—ready to leap into LEGO form.

Fan Reactions: Love, Skepticism, and Everything in Between

As news of this collaboration hit social media, reactions ranged from enthusiastic cheers to critical skepticism. Tiago Catarino, a noted LEGO enthusiast, declared, “It’s gonna be golden!!” echoing the positivity many fans share.

Others chimed in with playful requests, like, “Love this. We need a LEGO couch for Derpy,” highlighting how fans are already imagining the details that would make the sets feel authentic to the film.

But not everyone was sold. Some users dismissed the idea as “another waste of a theme,” while others expressed a more blunt “Ew.” It’s a reminder that any crossover between beloved worlds will always stir different opinions—especially when blending something as iconic as LEGO with the vibrant energy of KPop Demon Hunters.

A Proven Partnership: LEGO and Netflix’s History of Winning Collaborations

This isn’t LEGO and Netflix's first rodeo. Both brands have previously joined forces to create stunning sets based on cultural phenomena like Stranger Things and One Piece. Those collections captivated both fans of the shows and LEGO lovers, proving the magic that happens when storytelling meets brick-building.

Just last month, LEGO unveiled its first three Pokémon sets to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary. This move thrilled collectors and gamers alike, even though some fans raised eyebrows at the price points. One particularly vocal fan quipped, “That is absolutely insane. For that price, you can buy a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 plus the last two Pokémon games. I know which choice is going to feel more worthwhile.” It’s a fair debate, reflecting how passionate fans balance excitement for collectibles with value.

KPop Demon Hunters: More Than Just a Movie

Beyond the LEGO news, KPop Demon Hunters itself has become a cultural juggernaut. Since its Netflix debut in June last year, it quickly became the most-watched original title in Netflix history. The film even made history as the first Netflix movie to top the US box office—a remarkable feat that speaks volumes about its wide appeal.

The soundtrack isn’t just background noise either; it shattered records by being the first film soundtrack with four songs simultaneously in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The album went double platinum in the US by October. If you’ve ever caught yourself humming "Golden," you’re part of that phenomenal wave.

Adding to the momentum, KPop Demon Hunters snagged two Oscar nominations next month: Best Original Song for “Golden” and Best Animated Feature. “Golden” even took home Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammys recently. Talk about a musical and cinematic powerhouse!

A Star-Studded BAFTA Moment

On February 22, the stars of KPop Demon Hunters will shine at the BAFTA Awards. EJAE (the singing voice of Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey) are set to perform “Golden” together at the ceremony. While the film won’t be eligible for awards due to certain cinema release regulations, the artists expressed their excitement, saying:

“Performing at the EE BAFTA Film Awards is a golden moment that our younger selves could never have imagined! We’re so proud to represent Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters and spread the film’s positive message to fans around the globe.”

This performance will no doubt be a standout moment, celebrating both the film’s artistic success and its inspiring message.
