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

Pre-orders for the KPop Demon Hunters dolls by Mattel Creations open on November 12. However, these highly anticipated dolls won't be available until next fall, with an estimated arrival date of October 2026.

If you plan to pre-order as a holiday gift, prepare to give a placeholder gift instead, such as printing out an IOU to place in a stocking. The dolls will arrive well before the sequel is released, but the wait is still quite long.

Exclusive Package Deal

For this initial Mattel release, you cannot purchase individual dolls. The set includes all three characters—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—and the package, called “What It Sounds Like,” costs $150.

Doll Details and Design

The designs for Zoey, Rumi, and Mira are striking and true to the film’s visuals. Their outfits closely match those seen on screen, with notable features like Rumi’s demon markings prominently displayed.

“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.”

While visually impressive, the dolls appear too delicate for rough play, which aligns with the typical Mattel Creations style and justifies the premium price.

Future Releases

Collectors and fans should anticipate more variety and accessible choices in the future, easing the commitment required by this initial set.
