LEGO and Toei Animation Reveal First Dragon Ball Shenron and Goku Set
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
LEGO and Toei Animation have announced the first ever Dragon Ball set, a 1,764 piece Shenron and Goku display build launching this November for $179.99 with more sets planned for the future.
LEGO and Toei Animation have officially pulled the curtain back on the very first collaboration between the two giants, bringing the iconic anime universe into brick form. The new LEGO Dragon Ball Shenron and Goku set weighs in at 1,764 pieces and captures the classic moment when the eternal dragon is summoned from the seven orange spheres. Priced at $179.99, the build launches on November 1 for LEGO Insiders before getting a wider release on November 4.
Designed with the 18 plus collector crowd in mind, this release leans heavily into the display piece category rather than a standard playset. The finished build rests on a sleek black base featuring the official Dragon Ball logo, complete with translucent pedestals for the collected balls and dynamic lightning effects framing the sweeping green dragon. A small minifigure of Kid Goku riding his flying cloud circles the scene on an adjustable arm, adding a nice sense of scale and motion to the display.
This partnership marks a major milestone for fans of the franchise, but it is clearly just the beginning. IGN South Africa reports that the companies already confirmed additional sets are scheduled to arrive through 2027 and beyond. For collectors and long time fans looking to upgrade their gaming setups or desk spaces with some classic anime nostalgia, this first set sets a high bar for the rest of the line.
As digital and physical collectibles continue to merge into standard gaming and pop culture spaces, physical display builds like this give dedicated fans another way to show off their favorite franchises. Whether you are balancing a battle pass grind or just decorating your streaming background, this massive Shenron build is bound to be a focal point for collector shelves this holiday season.
