The LEGO Group is heading into fairytale territory this summer with its brand-new, highly anticipated LEGO Shrek theme. Thanks to the official LEGO Korea website, we already have our first images of the debut set for the line: 72423 Shrek, Donkey & Puss in Boots. The 18+ model launches on the 1st of June 2026, retailing for $129.99 / €19.99 / £109.99 and including a total of 1,403 pieces.

The DreamWorks Animation-licensed set continues the range of brick-built characters in LEGO form, recreating two of cinema's most iconic characters: Shrek and Donkey. Shrek, being the large character in the film, is obviously the larger character in brick-built form, recreated with his green ogre skin and his distinct, rustic tunic outfit.

Exclusive prints are utilised for Shrek's eyes and eyebrows and his smirking expression. The character has plenty of posability as builders can rotate his face and change the position of both his arms, hands and green sausage fingers. Shrek's belly can even be removed to reveal his stomach, including an onion, a 1x1 printed waffle and an eye from his favourite eye ball martini drink. Another brick-built onion is also included as an accessory which Shrek can hold.

Donkey is even more expressive than Shrek, including more exclusive printing for his eyes along with his prominent brick-built mouth, which, like the whole head, can be repositioned and moved in various ways. LEGO Donkey also includes a brick-built accessory of a blue flower and red thorns to be held in his mouth. This references the scene where Shrek is injured by an arrow, and Fiona orders Donkey to fetch some medicinal flowers to help soothe the pain.

As the name suggests, 72423 Shrek, Donkey & Puss in Boots obviously includes a third character, but this one isn't brick-built. In an attempt to make it to scale, LEGO have included a LEGO Minifigure version of Puss in Boots. The figure is instantly recognisable by his orange fur printed across his torso and legs, and his feather hat, which is part of a brand new head mould for the figure. Puss also includes a sword accessory and can be displayed on the shoulder of the brick-built LEGO Shrek.

All of the three characters included in the 18+ model are then placed on a Shrek-themed display stand. This clearly references Shrek's swamp, built with patches of grass, moss, mud and water along with further LEGO vegetation and leaf pieces. A printed "Beware Ogre" sign is also included, along with two brick-built sunflowers found at the back of the 1,403-piece 2026 set.
