The drought is ending for KPop Demon Hunters fans who’ve been dying to get their hands on more merch. Yesterday, Netflix’s surprise mega-hit and Oscar nominee announced a slew of toys from Mattel and Hasbro aimed at younger Huntr/x devotees; today, we have our first good look at Hot Toys’ pricey collectible figures featuring the snack-obsessed, world-defending pop stars.
To be fair, at $260-280 (one of them costs $20 more—can you guess which?), the figures of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey are about in line with what Hot Toys tends to charge for its releases (the company’s recently announced Gi-hun Squid Game figure also cost $280, for example).
But to be unfair, you really need all three band members to make the magic happen. That’s the whole point of the movie, right? “None of us are out here on our own,” after all.
So start saving up because you’re going to need $800 to get the proper Huntr/x configuration on your toy shelf. It doesn’t count if you only have Rumi up there, even if she’s your favorite.
Here’s a closer look at all three figures and their carefully selected accessories:
All three are dressed in their “How It’s Done” outfits, including their distinctive jewelry, and their weapons of choice: Rumi with her Sain-geom (Four Tiger Sword), Mira with her Gok-do (Curved Moon Sword), and Zoey with her Shin-kal (Spirit Blades). You also get Zoey’s diary in case any musical inspiration strikes. Also, Rumi’s lengthy purple braid is wired, so you can pose it along according to the fighting or selfie stance you choose for her.
All of the figures come with microphones and cell phones, as well as cup noodles (they get hungry!) and other fan-loving essentials, including a Huntr/x light stick and a character poster for each.
The figures won’t be shipped until January to June of 2027, so there’s a long wait ahead—not unlike the long wait ahead for KPop Demon Hunters 2. But you can preorder now at Sideshow: Rumi here, Mira here, and Zoey here.
