KEY POINTS
- Set 11390 is the first official LEGO product based on Dragon Ball.
- The 1,764-piece build includes a poseable Shenron and a removable Kid Goku minifigure riding the Kintoun.

LEGO and Toei Animation have announced the first official product from their Dragon Ball partnership. LEGO Icons Dragon Ball: Shenron & Goku, set number 11390, turns the dragon’s summoning into a 1,764-piece display model. LEGO Insiders members receive early access on November 1, 2026, while general sales begin November 4 through LEGO stores and the company’s official website.
The announced price is $179.99 in the United States, £129.99 in the United Kingdom, and €139.99 in Europe. LEGO did not provide a Brazilian price in the sources checked. Its Japanese division set a recommended price of 23,980 yen. Regional differences make a direct conversion unreliable for Brazil because taxes, distribution, and commercial policy can change the final price.
The set returns to the original Dragon Ball era
The build is based on the original series rather than Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball Super. Shenron coils above the seven Dragon Balls, accompanied by a Kid Goku minifigure riding the Kintoun. The design team says it studied animation frames and classic poses to translate the character’s long silhouette into LEGO elements.
Once assembled, the model measures more than 12.5 inches (32 centimeters) high, 9.5 inches (24 centimeters) long, and 10 inches (26 centimeters) wide. The dragon’s head and claws can be adjusted, while Goku can be detached and repositioned. The LEGO Builder app provides three-dimensional instructions with zoom, rotation, and build-progress tracking.
The 18+ rating and placement in the LEGO Icons range make clear that the product is primarily designed as a display piece. That does not prevent younger fans from building it with suitable supervision, but it distinguishes the model from a conventional play-focused range with multiple characters and locations.
The partnership will continue in 2027
The announcement confirms that Shenron and Goku are only the beginning of the LEGO and Toei Animation collaboration. Additional Dragon Ball sets will be unveiled in 2027, although the companies have not disclosed their number, characters, prices, or dates. Any list of upcoming models remains speculation.
The decision to begin with the original Dragon Ball is meaningful. Instead of opening the line with a Dragon Ball Z battle, the partnership uses the image that organizes the franchise’s central premise: gathering seven balls to summon Shenron. It introduces the universe through one object, with Kid Goku connecting the model directly to the beginning of Akira Toriyama’s story.
Editorially, the release also shows how LEGO is initially approaching the franchise. The first step is a self-contained premium model for adult collectors; the 2027 expansion may reveal whether the license will remain focused on display pieces or add smaller sets built around recreating scenes. For now, only the continuation of the partnership is confirmed.
