Netflix's animated musical hit, KPop Demon Hunters (KPDH), continues its trend of expanding its merchandise lineup with the introduction of new blind box collectibles. These latest additions, known as 'phone huggers,' offer fans a chance to collect miniature accessories that can be attached to their phones and other electronic devices.
Each blind box contains one mystery silicone minifigure chosen from nine possible designs, featuring all three members of HUNTR/X (Rumi, Zoey, and Mira), the Saja Boys (Jinu, Romance, Mystery, Abby, and Baby), and the fan-favorite blue tiger, Derpy. These figures are made from flexible silicone and are designed to grip the edge of a phone, tablet, or computer monitor without leaving sticky residue.
The collection is part of a larger trend of mystery-box merchandise inspired by KPop Demon Hunters, which has also included instant noodle-themed blind boxes, Funko Pops, and keychain charms. The success of the show is evident in its soundtrack's dominance of streaming charts and the Oscar win for the song 'Golden.'
The new phone huggers are available for purchase on Amazon and Walmart, with prices ranging from $11.99 to $39.97. Each box offers a surprise figure, and duplicates are possible, adding to the excitement of the collection. Collectors are advised to start a collection with friends and swap minifigures until everyone has each character.
In addition to the phone huggers, KPop Demon Hunters has also released other merchandise, such as PopWallet MagSafe and PopGrip accessories. These products offer a more secure and comfortable grip on phones and can hold up to three cards. An adaptor ring is included for wireless charging compatibility.
The expansion of KPop Demon Hunters' merchandise line is part of the show's ongoing success, with plans for a global concert tour that will bring the movie's music to live audiences. Fans can now enjoy the characters in both animated form and as collectible accessories, making it easier to bring their favorite heroes and rivals to their daily lives.
With the release of these new blind box collectibles, KPop Demon Hunters continues to engage its fan base and expand its reach, offering a unique and fun way to collect and display the characters from the show.
