Okay, let’s be real — we all knew this was coming eventually. Dragon Ball is one of the biggest anime franchises on the planet, and LEGO has been going absolutely wild with anime partnerships lately. After One Piece got the LEGO treatment and fans went crazy for it, it was only a matter of time before Goku and crew got the brick-built treatment. And now it’s actually happening. LEGO has officially announced its very first Dragon Ball set, and it goes hard right out of the gate.
LEGO Icons Dragon Ball: Shenron and Goku (11390) — Official Details
No teasing, no “coming soon” — the set is locked in and fully revealed. LEGO, in partnership with Toei Animation (the studio behind the Dragon Ball anime), has unveiled set 11390: Dragon Ball: Shenron and Goku as part of the premium LEGO Icons line. This is the same line that’s given us massive display models for everything from the Eiffel Tower to the Millennium Falcon, so you already know the quality bar they’re shooting for here.
The set clocks in at 1,764 pieces and carries an 18+ age rating, which tells you right away this isn’t a kid’s playset — it’s a display piece built for adult fans who grew up watching Goku on Toonami. Pricing is set at $179.99 in the US, with regional equivalents at £129.99 in the UK and €139.99 in Europe.

What Does the Set Actually Look Like?
The centerpiece is exactly what Dragon Ball fans have been dreaming about in brick form — Shenron, the Eternal Dragon, fully summoned and rising above all seven Dragon Balls. LEGO’s designers reportedly spent serious time studying animation frames and iconic poses from the original series to make the dragon look as faithful as possible, adapting that long, sinuous body into brickwork without losing the menace and scale that makes Shenron so iconic.
The dragon’s head and claws are poseable, so you’re not just looking at a static display. You can actually reposition them and give Shenron a bit of personality depending on your shelf setup. The base houses all seven Dragon Balls, which is a nice touch — it’s not just decoration, it’s the whole summoning scene captured in one model.
On the minifigure side, you get Kid Goku riding Kintoun — known as the Flying Nimbus in the English dub — and he can be detached and repositioned around the display. LEGO reportedly created a brand-new hair mold just to get Goku’s signature spiky hair right as a minifigure, and Kid Goku still has his Saiyan tail since this is set during the original Dragon Ball era. His Power Pole is also included. The display plaque carries the original Dragon Ball manga logo rather than the Dragon Ball Z logo, which is a deliberate choice — this set is rooted in the beginning of the story, before the Z saga changed everything.
Why LEGO Started With the Original Dragon Ball (Not DBZ)
This is actually a smart move by LEGO and one worth talking about. Dragon Ball Z is the more globally famous iteration of the franchise — it’s what most Western fans grew up with. But the original Dragon Ball series is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, making it the perfect moment to anchor the launch here. Starting with Kid Goku and the classic Shenron summoning creates a clean, emotional entry point that honors where the franchise began.
It also separates this Icons set from what’s coming next. The 2027 wave — which we’ll get into below — is going to lean heavily into Dragon Ball Z, so setting the 11390 launch firmly in the original series gives the whole thing a narrative arc. You start with the wish-granting dragon from the classic era, then the 2027 lineup takes you into the Saiyan Saga, Namek, and Frieza. That’s a clean structure any collector can appreciate.
The 2027 Dragon Ball LEGO Sets — Everything Leaked So Far
LEGO has officially confirmed that more Dragon Ball sets are on the way in 2027, but hasn’t revealed any specifics beyond set 11390. However, the leak community has been all over this one, and the reported lineup is genuinely exciting.
According to leaks from sources including BrickTap and a.clay.brick, nine Dragon Ball products are targeted for April 2027, including one unnamed polybag (set 30755, listed as age 6+) and eight numbered sets. The full reported lineup looks like this:
- 72361 — Goku vs Raditz (Age 9+)
- 72362 — Arrival on Namek (Age 9+)
- 72363 — Z Fighters vs Saiyans (Age 9+)
- 72364 — Porunga and the Final Battle
- 72365 — Frieza’s Spaceship
- 72366 — Kame House (Age 18+)
- 72367 — Name TBD
- 72368 — Buildable Vegeta (Age 12+)
A couple of things jump out immediately. First, Kame House being rated 18+ strongly suggests it’s going to be a premium display model in the vein of the Shenron set — Master Roshi’s iconic island home as a proper collectible piece rather than a play set. Second, a Buildable Vegeta at 12+ suggests a larger brick-built figure, not just a standard minifigure. That’s the kind of statement piece that gets fans hyped.
Perhaps most exciting though is the reported minifigure situation. Sources claim to have seen Goku, Frieza, Vegeta, and the entire Ginyu Force represented in the 2027 wave, with multiple new molds created specifically for these characters. New molds typically mean LEGO is investing in getting the character designs right rather than recycling existing parts — and for Dragon Ball that matters, because Frieza’s silhouette and Vegeta’s hair are instantly recognizable. Getting those wrong would torpedo the whole theme for serious fans.
None of these 2027 sets are confirmed by LEGO, and no photos have surfaced yet — so keep that firmly in mind. But the source track record for the Shenron set was solid, so there’s reason to take the 2027 details seriously.
How This Compares to LEGO’s Other Anime Sets
LEGO’s anime play has been building for a while now. The One Piece line — featuring the Going Merry and other iconic ships — showed that LEGO could pull off anime properties with real fidelity and appetite from adult collectors. Dragon Ball is a much bigger global brand than One Piece, though, and the fanbase is arguably more emotional about what they grew up with.
The $179.99 price point for 11390 is actually pretty reasonable for 1,764 pieces in the Icons line. For context, similar premium display sets in the range have pushed $200–$250 for comparable piece counts. LEGO seems to be pricing this strategically to get as many Dragon Ball fans in the door as possible before the 2027 wave drops. Smart play.
The fact that Toei Animation is directly involved in this partnership — not just licensing the IP passively — suggests LEGO had real access to the source material during the design process. The attention to detail on Shenron’s pose and the decision to use the original manga logo rather than a generic Dragon Ball branding are the kinds of calls that happen when the rights holder is actually engaged.
Should You Grab Shenron and Goku on Day One?
If you’re a Dragon Ball fan who also collects LEGO, this is a no-brainer. The question isn’t whether you want it — it’s whether you want it on day one or whether you’re willing to wait and see how stock holds up. Based on how the One Piece sets moved, don’t expect this to sit on shelves very long. LEGO Insiders early access opens November 1, so if you’re a member, that’s your window before the general public gets in on November 4.
For casual fans who aren’t deep into either hobby individually — if you know someone who grew up watching Dragon Ball and appreciates display-worthy collectibles, this is one of the cleanest gift options you’ll find for the holiday season. The 18+ rating and premium build quality mean it’s clearly aimed at adults who want to put it on a desk or bookshelf, not kids who’ll batter it into pieces in ten minutes.
