KPop Demon Hunters, Sony Animation and Netflix’s chart-topping hit seemingly came out of nowhere, which meant nobody was prepared to capitalize on its success with toys and other merchandise. Now, almost a year later, that’s finally changing. Both Mattel and Hasbro have thrown their hats into the ring, producing toys and accessories. There have been American Girl Dolls and even Monopoly tie-ins, but the latest toy pack is special — it’s specifically for the fans.
KPop Demon Hunters various collaborations have leaned into catering specifically to fans, whether it’s with a McDonald’s Happy Meal or a live performance. This time around, fans are being served up something they can’t refuse: collectibles. Set to release this upcoming Monday, Mattel’s KPop Demon Hunters “For the Fans” pack assortment will be available alongside the “Hello Friend” mini pack.
The “For the Fans” pack will include collectible dolls of all of Huntr/x (Rumi, Zoey, and Mira), as well as Saja Boys’ Jinu and Baby. The pack will also include cute figurines of Derpy, the gigantic, cuddly-looking cat, and his menacing companion, Sussie. The two will also come with a potted plant accessory.
While Huntr/x will wear the vibrant, coordinating outfits they wore during the opening number of KPop Demon Hunters’ ‘How It’s Done,’ Jinu and Baby will sport their ‘Soda Pop’ performance outfits, complete with sunglasses and flower-bouquet accessories.
Each doll in the “For the Fans” pack will include one accessory and one collector’s card. According to Mattel, the pack will also include a secret character doll that has not been advertised alongside the others, meaning fans will need to open their wallets not only to try to collect them all but also to find that mysterious secret doll.
KPop Demon Hunters “For the Fans” pack will be available in select stores and online at Target, Walmart, and Amazon on May 18.
