LEGO has officially confirmed that Dragon Ball-themed sets are in development. The toy company released a short teaser video showcasing six Dragon Balls, followed by a seventh rolling into view, before displaying a Dragon Ball logo and the "Adults Welcome" branding.
This suggests that the upcoming sets will be aimed at adult collectors rather than children. While details regarding specific sets or release dates remain undisclosed, LEGO typically reveals more information about upcoming products in the weeks following such teasers. The company's teasers have often followed a pattern for new product lines, and further details are expected soon.
The franchise originated as a manga series by Akira Toriyama, which was adapted into an anime television series that aired in Japan from 1986 to 1989. Since then, Dragon Ball has expanded into a vast multimedia franchise including multiple TV series, films, and video games.
The teaser's imagery of the Dragon Balls is a direct nod to the series' lore, where collecting all seven allows the summoner to call forth the Eternal Dragon to grant wishes. This follows LEGO's recent trend of releasing sets based on popular anime properties, such as One Piece, KPop Demon Hunters, and Pokémon.
