LEGO has officially confirmed its first-ever Shrek sets, unveiled to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the beloved DreamWorks franchise. The two sets will launch in the UK on June 1, 2026, and are available for pre-order now.
LEGO Shrek Sets: What's Included?
The larger set, Shrek, Donkey & Puss in Boots (72423), is priced at £109.99 and contains 1,403 pieces. Designed for adults aged 18 and over, it features posable brick-built versions of Shrek and Donkey standing on a swamp-themed base. The set also includes the first-ever Puss in Boots minifigure, along with a "Beware Ogre" sign, sunflowers, and an onion. A section of Shrek's stomach can be removed to reveal Easter eggs such as a tiny onion and a cookie.
The smaller set, 40923 Shrek, Donkey & Gingy BrickHeadz, costs £19.99 and includes 260 pieces. It features collectible stylised figures of Shrek, Donkey, and Gingy the Gingerbread Man. Shrek holds a small "Beware Ogre" sign, and all three figures boast printed elements.
Pre-Order and Release Details
Both sets are available for pre-order now on the LEGO UK website, with a release date of June 1, 2026. Smyths Toys UK is also listing the larger set for pre-order, but with an expected stock date of August 1, 2026, while LEGO states a June 1 shipping date.
Social Media Frenzy
The announcement has sparked a social media storm, particularly on TikTok, where the "LEGO Shrek" hashtag is trending. Creators such as 'Ashnflash' and 'Emmasaurus' have posted immediate first-look and reveal videos within 24 hours of the official unveiling on April 23, 2026.
