NEW YORK CITY, USA, 08 SEPTEMBER 2026: Today, the LEGO Group takes the next exciting step in celebrating the 15th anniversary of LEGO® NINJAGO with the announcement of a new creative partnership with legendary artist FUTURA, naming him as an official creative collaborator and artistic co-creator to the brand. To celebrate the partnership, they unveiled the ‘Ninja of the Futura’ and two other custom designed, hand-embellished minifigure artworks and exclusive event giveaway merchandise at an event held at the Brooklyn Museum, offering an exciting first glimpse into the collaboration.
This first creative exploration sees FUTURA re-imagine the NINJAGO universe through his own artistic lens, giving fans a unique new perspective on the world they know and love. Through this new partnership, FUTURA will bring his distinctive artistic style to the universe of NINJAGO Legends and aims to inspire new characters and storylines.
The ‘Ninja of the Futura’ art piece unites the iconic LEGO minifigure, design inspiration from the LEGO NINJAGO universe and FUTURA’s signature style, channelling his iconic Pointman artworks and personalized graphics into a bold reinterpretation of the NINJAGO universe. The piece re-imagines a NINJAGO hero through FUTURA’s unique artistic lens, bringing together these two powerful creative worlds into a striking never-before-seen interpretation, highlighting the potential for creative exploration and inspiration for the NINJAGO Legends.
FUTURA revealed two further pieces reimagining fan favourite characters Nya and Kai. Together, the three works underscore the creative range FUTURA brings to the NINJAGO universe — and point to where this collaboration may lead next.
Speaking about the collaboration, FUTURA said: “I couldn’t have dreamed of this collaboration with NINJAGO Legends and the opportunity ahead of me. I don’t think I’ve ever been so inspired and excited to begin such a journey, with a most historic partner. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!”
Nigel Kong, Global Head of LEGO NINJAGO at the LEGO Group, said: “We are thrilled to kick-off our partnership with FUTURA. This collaboration marks a bold new venture for NINJAGO within the world of street art and culture. Our fanbase is incredibly creative, so it was only natural that we’d explore one their greatest passions. We had FUTURA on our minds for years as we saw great synergies between our brand and his creative visions – we just needed the right opportunity and now the time has come, we are ready to unlock the future together.”
LEGO NINJAGO and FUTURA fans will be able to experience the new partnership for the first time, on Friday, 18th September at the I Park Mall Yongsan, Seoul, as part of the LEGO NINJAGO: Legends DuskFall Fan Event. At the event, fans can explore the new collaborative artworks, experience giveaways of exclusive merchandise featuring signature co-created designs, see the newest LEGO NINJAGO sets up close and experience the world premiere of the first-ever anime series from the brand.
