The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company have expanded the official LEGO Pokémon range with six new sets that introduce the line's first-ever official Pokémon minifigures.
The announcement adds large-scale creature builds for Arcanine, Munchlax, and Rayquaza, an up-scaled Red build, a mini key chain, and a 2,386-piece Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball that opens to reveal dioramic scenes.
Full lineup, piece counts, and pricing are as follows: Arcanine — 1,190 pieces, $109.99; Munchlax — 757 pieces, $69.99; Rayquaza — 1,083 pieces, $129.99; Up-Scaled Red Minifigure — 930 pieces, $79.99; Red Key Chain — $5.99; Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball — 2,386 pieces, $299.99.
All items except the Red Key Chain are available for pre-order now from the LEGO Store website.
The Arcanine, Munchlax, and Rayquaza sets are scheduled to ship from August 1, while the Up-Scaled Red and the Poké Ball are slated to ship from October 1.
The Red Key Chain is listed as coming soon.
Built models for Arcanine, Munchlax, Rayquaza, and the Up-Scaled Red are articulated for posing, and the Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball opens 'Polly Pocket'-style to reveal two detailed scenes: Professor Oak's laboratory and a Pokémon battle between Red and another Trainer.
The Poké Ball set includes multiple minifigures — Red, a Picnicker, Professor Oak, Pikachu, and Eevee — while the Rayquaza set includes a Zinnia minifigure.
These releases mark a milestone for the LEGO Pokémon program by formally introducing official minifigures into the product line.
LEGO Group design director Siddharth Muthyala previously explained that the company had refrained from producing Pokémon minifigures in the past because LEGO had regarded children as the Trainers, an internal design stance that the new range effectively revises.
The new drops follow the official Pokémon LEGO range that launched earlier this year with sets including Eevee, the Pikachu and Poké Ball set, and the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise trio.
Those core releases were complemented by 12 SMART Play-compatible builds featuring characters such as Charizard, Gengar, and Mewtwo.
The LEGO Pokémon line now bridges collectible builders and longtime Pokémon fans, tying into a franchise that extends across Nintendo platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
For collectors and fans, the LEGO Store is currently taking pre-orders for most of the new sets, with shipping windows confirmed for August and October.
These additions add significant scale and display options to the growing official LEGO Pokémon portfolio.
