The First ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Dolls Are Here—But There’s a Huge Catch

Published:

The KPop Demon Hunters dolls from Mattel have been revealed in detail. But don’t get too excited: they won’t arrive until next fall, and there’s another pricey catch attached.

Pre-orders for Mattel Creations’ KPop Demon Hunters dolls begin November 12. If you snag a pre-order with holiday gift-giving in mind, you’ll have to print out an IOU and stick it in a Christmas stocking, because the dolls are estimated to arrive “by October 2026,” according to Mattel.

At least they will be out before the recently announced sequel, but whoa, that’s still a long time to wait.

Did we mention that, at least for this initial Mattel run, the dolls will only come as a package deal? You can’t just buy one Huntr/x member; you have to get the full set of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—and the “What It Sounds Like” three-pack will set you back $150.

The details on Zoey, Rumi, and Mira are gorgeous. Their “What It Sounds Like” outfits look just like in the film, and it’s so cool to see Rumi’s demon marks prominently displayed across her design. But we have to admit, they look too fancy to play with, and that’s common with the Mattel Creations drops, which explains the sticker price.

If you’re apprehensive about committing to all three, there will be more toy drops, including more accessible options, also coming in 2026.  And we’re hoping, of course, for Huntr/x dolls in the “How It’s Done” outfits and ones that sing “Golden” too.

With the sequel officially in the works, fingers crossed that Netflix and toy makers are ready to seal the Honmoon with an avalanche of KPop Demon Hunters merch before it’s released. Take a look at the “What It Sounds Like” dolls from the Mattel Creations set below!

KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix.
