  "account": "LEGO has launched its inaugural KPop Demon Hunters building set, showcasing Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird. The set is priced at $69.99 and is available for purchase on Amazon. It became accessible on August 1st, and set #72537 allows for the construction of the endearing blue tiger, his six-eyed flying companion, and a flower pot for knocking it over gently. Additionally, the set includes two of Rumi and Jinu's love notes that can be attached to Derpy's removable tongue. When displaying the feline's toothy grin is preferred, the accessories can be stored in a concealed compartment within the tiger's head. This announcement coincides with the KPop Demon Hunters' one-year anniversary. Netflix had previously failed to secure numerous major licensing deals prior to the film's release, anticipating a more niche hit rather than a global phenomenon. Due to unanticipated success, they have been scrambling to capitalize on the popularity, resulting in this limited launch for what could become a highly profitable KPop Demon Hunters LEGO collection.",
