LEGO Dragon Ball 11390 Shenron & Goku: A Dramatic First Display Set

LEGO Dragon Ball 11390 Shenron & Goku launches the collaboration between the LEGO Group and Toei Animation with a display model built around one of the original series’ defining images: Shenron rising from the seven Dragon Balls while Kid Goku rides Kintoun.

Tiago Catarino’s review arrives alongside the reveal of a set that clearly prioritizes silhouette and movement. At 1,764 pieces, the model uses Shenron’s long, looping body as the main structure rather than placing the dragon in a conventional rectangular scene.

Shenron’s curve defines the display

The model measures over 32 cm high, 24 cm long, and 26 cm wide. Those proportions give the dragon room to coil upward while keeping the footprint manageable for an adult display shelf. Flowing scales and sculpted sections build texture across the body without weakening the overall serpentine outline.

Kid Goku sits at the center on Kintoun and can be detached and repositioned. That small display option matters: it lets the character remain readable against a much larger creature and gives collectors a choice between a tightly composed centerpiece and a more open arrangement.

The base carries the story

Seven 2x2 brick-built Dragon Balls anchor the scene at the bottom, so the base does more than support the model. It explains the moment being recreated and connects the towering dragon to a familiar part of Dragon Ball mythology.

Final Thoughts

Set 11390 is a confident opening for LEGO Dragon Ball. Its strongest idea is structural and visual at once: Shenron’s sweeping body becomes the composition, while Goku, Kintoun, and the seven Dragon Balls complete the story without competing for attention. LEGO Insiders early access begins November 1, 2026, followed by general availability on November 4.
