KPop Demon Hunters

[Schizm]

The merch that's already hit stores seems to be doing pretty well. The little fabric keychains, the Pops, the stuffed Derpys are all moving.

Haven’t seen these in stores but cool to see them ramping up delivery,

I preordered the Lego Derpy set last week. Word on the street is they will be doing some full sets with Minifigs too.

I got the bootleg figs. I'll make it official.

I'm looking forward to the action figures. The dolls look great and really nail the aesthetic, and the legs not having articulation helps with the overall look, but I went crazy with the Wicked merch and I have no room for 12" anything.

Although I did keep the Funko Derpy to go with the figures, and the Funko Bobby because he'd be fun to have them pose around.

The dolls being able to sing "together" and in the correct order is really really good. I wish the Wicked For Good singing two were able to echo each other properly in their in-the-box setting.

So absolutely furious I missed the pre-orders for the girls and human Jinu on Big Bad. 7am PST (10am EST?) is such a random drop time, I’d usually go find a cute little gif from the movie of the girls being angry but I’ve been waiting for these for far too long to be feel cute right now, only rage.

Gotta spend the day stalking Amazon and EE to hope to catch them there…

Didn't realize they went up. I thought it was later in July.

That's infuriating. Everything in your post. No notice. OOS. Chasing other retailers.

Yesterday I was like, what a fun hobby. Now I'm like, fuck all that, John.

EVERY GD INSTAGRAM POST SHOWING THESE SAID JULY 15th!!!!

I gotta learn to stop trusting the doll community, they let you know about Skullector Monster Highs when it’s too late to order them and give ya the wrong release date for KPop Demon Hunter figures…

IDFK maybe that’s the targeted ship date or something (Big Bad does have them listed as arriving in July)…

Anyway, EE’s drop zone says they have something from Mattel going up at 9am PST so time to keep hitting refresh over there…

Thanks for the EE heads up.

And yeah, I hear horrible things about the doll community from friends deep into Mon High and Disney.

And it looks like it was just the MoonSpell Magic Dolls (which hey, put those in a box and mail em back in time to when I still collected Monster High and that would be awesome)

Guess I gotta just stalk Toyshiz and Preternia on Bluesky to see when the other sites put em up…

You know what.

Sometimes big bad does jump the gun. I've even seen them put stuff up early in a small quantity and then it goes up again later and it never goes out of stock.

I don't see anything anywhere else, so maybe there is truth to July 15th.

I do think the dolls dropped like the 26?

I tease my youngest about this show, pronouncing it as "Pop Demon Hunters". Immediately asking for confirmation that the K is silent.

I just said I wasn't going to grab any of the dolls, only the action figures... but I am weak and the singing dolls were in stock and I pressed BUY.

I'm probably going to return them - or, hopefully, cancel the order! - but ugh. They look great.

Have we seen what the packaging looks like for the figures?

Target is clearancing almost all the Wicked stuff right now in case anyone was holding off. The website also listed the new Evergreen dolls (minus Fiyero) and the Oztacular versions.

I saw the packaging on Instagram but I don't remember anything about it cuz the reel was insufferable.
