LEGO has detailed the first set in its KPop Demon Hunters range – the Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird set.
Fans can choose from two expressions to show off the tiger’s goofy grin or let him deliver a sweet love note on his tongue. The 825-piece set also includes a flowerpot for the tiger to knock over and fans can store the accessories in the secret compartment in Derpy’s head.
“We knew exactly what look and feel we wanted for the model,” said Wes Talbott, Senior Design Master in the LEGO Group.
“The eyes are such a big part of the character. It’s not just about the shape, but also how they sit on Derpy’s face. Even small design changes in the eyes made a big difference to how the whole character comes across. It took a lot of testing to get both the shape and the angle right.”
The set lands on August 1st.
