AND LEGO the Pikachu minifigure has been spotted in the wild for the first time ever. The leaked figure is expected to be launched as one of the most expensive LEGOs Pokemon is dated later in 2026.
The collaboration between LEGO and The Pokemon Company, which was officially announced in early 2025, brought exactly 15 products in the first half of 2026, excluding gift-with-purchase promotions. The line was divided between larger brick-built models and smaller ones Pokemon sets that support the new LEGO Smart Brick platform. So far, no product group has included minifigures. However, reports of Pokemon development minifigs have been circulating online since late winter, and several sets containing them are now expected to hit store shelves in the second half of 2026.
6 More 2027 LEGO Sets Detailed in New Leak
Details of half a dozen LEGO 2027 sets have leaked online, detailing new original models and sets based on popular IPs such as Harry Potter and Zootopia.
Pikachu LEGO Minifig with classic inspirations seen for the first time
A LEGO Pikachu minifigure appeared online in early July 2026 via a real-life photo. The image shows a simple, smiling Pikachu figure whose design is largely based on the character's late 90s anime appearance, with a rounder and more compact body than the modern version of the mascot. The figure is molded into an upright pose with the small front paws pressed against the chest in a neutral stance. His black-tipped ears and lightning-bolt tail complete the recognizable silhouette, though the proportions look deliberately toy-like and more chibi-esque than completely accurate. The discovery of the photo echoes an earlier leak of the March 2026 LEGO Eevee minifigure.
The Pikachu Minfig will reportedly launch as part of the expensive Poke Ball set
Pikachu and Eevee minifigs are rumored to debut as part of the LEGO Iconic Trainer Moments: Poke Ball set. Tagged with product number 72154, the upcoming set is described as a giant Poke Ball that opens to reveal a diorama-like scene inside. In addition to Eevee and Pikachu, it is said to include three other minifigures: Red, Professor Oak and Picknicker (Gen 1 trainer class). The kit is said to be priced at $259.99.
While LEGO Pokemon leaks have been plentiful in the first half of 2026, none identifying any other set to include Pikachu or Eevee minifigures. This does not necessarily mean that the characters will never appear in another, cheaper set. However, LEGO may be delaying their release through more affordable products. With the current lack of leaks pointing to such sets, Iconic Trainer Moments: Poke Ball could be the only way to get your hands on a LEGO Pikachu or Eevee minifigure until at least 2027.

Start
LEGO's Poke Ball diorama has reportedly been delayed due to production issues and is now targeting an October 1 launch. The rest of the Danish toymaker's summer 2026 lineup is expected to stick to its original August 1st release date. At least some of the larger sets from this batch are likely to be offered for pre-order, meaning LEGO could announce them as early as the first half of July 2026 to give fans plenty of time to order. At least one more LEGO Pokemon A minifigure expected to debut later this summer: Zinnia, said to be part of the 72168 Rayquaza set, which will be released on August 1st.
