LEGO Pokémon 2026: Arcanine, Rayquaza and Oak’s Lab Revealed

Five brand-new LEGO Pokémon sets have been officially revealed for 2026, and the line-up runs the full spectrum — from a posable Arcanine you can manoeuvre into a growl pose, to a towering Rayquaza soaring above the Sky Pillar, and a flagship Poké Ball that opens to reveal Professor Oak’s entire lab inside. The sets were announced jointly by The Pokémon Company International and LEGO, and were first reported in detail by Siliconera.

1 August: Three Posable Pokémon Sets

The first wave lands globally on 1 August 2026 and centres on fully posable Pokémon models with articulated joints — a meaningful step up from the static display pieces that kicked off LEGO’s collaboration with The Pokémon Company.

LEGO Arcanine (Set 72160 · 1,190 pieces · US$109.99 · Ages 18+) is the showstopper of the August batch. The Legendary-tier dog can open and close its mouth, rotate its head, and shift its legs into different stances, letting you display it prowling low or rearing up. At 1,190 pieces it will take a solid build session to put together — and given how intricate the fur detailing looks from the official images, that time will feel well spent.

LEGO Munchlax (Set 72150 · 757 pieces · US$69.99 · Ages 18+) comes with a tree stump base scattered with berries, mushrooms and flowers — exactly the spread #0446 deserves. The head and arms are articulated, and at US$69.99 it is the most accessible entry point of the three August sets.

LEGO Rayquaza (Set 72168 · 1,083 pieces · US$129.99 · Ages 18+) is the wave’s visual centrepiece. The serpentine body is fully posable and comes with a detailed Sky Pillar base plus a Zinnia minifigure — making it the first LEGO Pokémon set to include a trainer minifig alongside the Pokémon itself. The Pokémon Company’s official YouTube channel teased the 2026 LEGO Pokémon line-up earlier this year:

1 October: Trainer Sets and the Oak’s Lab Poké Ball

The October wave leans hard into Pokémon Red and Blue nostalgia, focusing on the player character Red and the legendary opening of the very first Pokémon game.

LEGO Red Upscaled Minifigure (Set 40868 · 930 pieces · US$79.99 · Ages 10+) is a giant-scale version of the classic LEGO minifig design, depicting Red in his iconic red jacket, white cap and blue jeans. Arms, legs and head are all articulated so you can pose him mid-battle, and he comes clutching a Poké Ball in one hand. The 10+ age rating makes it the most display-friendly piece for younger fans too. For those who want something smaller for their bag, there is also a US$5.99 Red minifigure keychain — the most affordable way to carry the original Pokémon trainer around.

LEGO Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball (Set 72154 · 2,386 pieces · US$299.99 · Ages 18+) is the crown jewel. Closed, it looks exactly like an oversized Poké Ball sitting in a ring of grass. Open it and the upper half reveals a complete miniature Professor Oak’s lab: workbench, bookshelves, three Poké Balls lined up on the table, the whole scene. The lower half unfolds into an outdoor battle: Red faces a Picknicker with Pikachu and Eevee in play. Four minifigures — Red, Professor Oak, the Picknicker, and their Pokémon — are all included, making it the most story-rich set in the entire 2026 LEGO Pokémon range.

Singapore Availability and Pricing

All five sets are confirmed for global release on those dates. Singapore fans should be able to order through the LEGO Singapore website or from LEGO stores and major toy retailers here. Pricing above is in US dollars; SGD pricing has not yet been announced, so expect local prices to reflect the current exchange rate once listings go live. These sets join an existing LEGO Pokémon range that already includes Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard and Mewtwo — if you have been holding off, the August 1 release is the moment to finally plan that shelf.

GARRACK x EVANGELION Raden Watches — Pre-Orders Open 12 June

Japan-made watchmaker GARRACK is bringing Neon Genesis Evangelion to your wrist — and the dial work alone makes this worth your attention. Three automatic mechanical watches inspired by Unit-01, Unit-02, and Unit-00 go on pre-order 12 June 2026, with sales opening 26 June 2026. International shipping is available, so Singapore fans can order direct.

What Is the GARRACK EVANGELION Raden Watch Collection?

GARRACK is a Japanese character-collaboration watch brand distributed by Ueni Trading. Their speciality is pairing popular IP with traditional Japanese crafts — and for Evangelion they have gone with raden (螺鈿), the ancient technique of inlaying iridescent abalone shell onto lacquerwork.

Each dial is hand-finished by a fourth-generation raden artisan in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture — one of Japan’s most respected lacquerware regions. Because natural shell is used and every piece is applied by hand, no two watches are identical. The iridescent surface shifts colour with the angle of light, so the watch is never quite the same twice in different lighting.

Three EVANGELION Units, Three Distinct Dials

The collection covers the three lead Evangelion units, each with its unit designation at a unique index position on the dial:

  • Unit-01 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-1) — ¥77,000 tax-included (approx. SGD 640)
  • Unit-02 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-2) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)
  • Unit-00 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-0) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)

The Unit-01 numeral sits at the 1 o’clock position, Unit-02 at 2 o’clock, and Unit-00 at 12 o’clock. A.T. Field-inspired indices run around each dial, and the see-through case back carries the NERV emblem — a detail that lands especially well in person.

Last Words

This is the kind of collab you won’t find at any local counter — a Japan-craft collector watch tied to a franchise that still hits hard here. Evangelion is in its 30th-anniversary year, and appetite for quality EVA merchandise among Singapore fans has never been higher. If you have been hunting for an EVA piece that doubles as a proper automatic watch, this is a strong contender. Pre-orders open in two days — bookmark the page now and check our merch coverage for more picks worth your wallet.
