Korean designer helps build LEGO's first Dragon Ball set

LEGO Group has introduced its inaugural Dragon Ball set, fashioned with the collaboration of Korean designer Lee Jae-won at their Danish headquarters. The 1,764-piece LEGO Icons Dragon Ball Shenron & Goku set, co-developed with Japanese animation powerhouse Toei Animation, will be available for purchase starting November 4. This new addition falls under LEGO's Icons line, tailored for adult builders.

Dragon Ball, authored by the late Japanese manga sensation Akira Toriyama, chronicles the escapades of Goku as he strives to amass seven mystical orbs, referred to as Dragon Balls. Collecting all seven bestows upon the summoner Shenron, a dragon capable of granting a single wish. Since its inception in 1984, the manga has been adapted into a globally beloved anime series by Toei Animation.

The set brings to life the moment Shenron emerges from the seven Dragon Balls, featuring a youthful Goku astride his magical cloud, the Flying Nimbus. Seven bricks at the set's base symbolize the Dragon Balls, with the Goku minifigure being detachable and repositionable. Additionally, a display stand and a plaque bearing the Dragon Ball emblem are included in the package.
