Dragon Ball is officially joining the world of LEGO, with the two brands revealing their first collaboration through a mysterious new teaser centered around the franchise’s seven Dragon Balls.

LEGO announced the project with a short video showing six Dragon Balls gathered together before the seventh rolls into place, causing the complete set to begin glowing as the screen asks fans if they are “ready to make a wish”.

The teaser ends with both the Dragon Ball and LEGO logos alongside LEGO’s “Adults Welcome” branding, suggesting that the collaboration will include releases aimed at older fans and display-focused builders.

No actual LEGO Dragon Ball products have been shown yet, with LEGO keeping details, including what sets or models will be included, their piece counts, prices, and release dates, under wraps for now.

The heavy focus on all seven Dragon Balls naturally points toward one of the franchise’s most famous concepts, as gathering the complete set allows its characters to summon the wish-granting dragon Shenron, although LEGO has yet to confirm whether this will form the basis for any of the collaboration’s builds.

Dragon Ball originally began as Akira Toriyama’s manga in 1984, following the young Son Goku as his search for the Dragon Balls gradually grows from a lighthearted adventure into the sprawling martial arts story that would eventually continue through Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and several other projects.

The new collaboration arrives during another particularly busy period for the franchise, with Dragon Ball having recently concluded its wider 40th anniversary celebrations while continuing to expand through new anime, games and merchandise.

Dragon Ball Super is preparing to return with “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus,” an enhanced new version of the anime’s opening storyline scheduled to begin airing during Fall 2026.

Production is also underway on “Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol,” which will continue the anime beyond the Tournament of Power by adapting the Galactic Patrol Prisoner storyline from the manga.

From LEGO’s side, the Dragon Ball announcement continues the company’s recent expansion into major anime and gaming franchises, with Pokémon receiving its first official LEGO sets earlier in 2026 before quickly growing to include adult display models, minifigures and interactive sets.

ONE PIECE has also developed into a substantial LEGO range, with builds based around locations, characters and ships including the Going Merry, Baratie and several locations introduced during the story.

For Dragon Ball fans, the announcement opens the door to decades of potential source material ranging from Goku’s earliest adventures and locations such as Kame House through to later characters, transformations, vehicles and battles, although LEGO has not yet confirmed which parts of the franchise will be represented.

LEGO has also yet to reveal how many Dragon Ball sets or products are planned for the collaboration, with the seven-Dragon-Ball teaser currently serving as the first official look at the new partnership.
