Since the film’s release, merchandisers have been hard at work to create KPop Demon Hunters products “for the fans.” In October, Netflix awarded Mattel the master license to create KPop Demon Hunters dolls, action figures and other items.
Now, on the heels of the release of 12-inch scale fashion dolls of HUNTR/X members Rumi, Mira and Zoey — as well as Saja Boys singer Juni — being released, Mattel is readying the release of 6-inch scale action figures. The initial wave will include individually packaged action figures of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, Saja Boys members Juni and Abby, as well as a Rumi & Jinu: Final Battle 6-inch action figure 2-pack.
