‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Expand Funko Collab With Saja Boys Blind Box and Worldwide Chase
Funko has expanded its "KPop Demon Hunters" toy line by adding a blind-box collection featuring the Saja Boys, giving fans of Netflix's hit animated film a new way to collect figures from the franchise. The move follows the original figure set and taps into the film's popularity, adding an element of chance collecting through mystery packaging alongside the standard individually sold figures already on sale via Amazon and Walmart.
The new blind boxes go on sale 17 September, priced at $14.99, with each sealed box containing one 3.75-inch vinyl figure of either Jinu, Abby, Baby, Romance, Mystery or Crying Demon, each with a 1-in-6 chance. Collectors can also chase a rare 1-in-72 Limited Edition Mystery figure or a single, one-of-a-kind Worldwide Chase figure. This sits alongside the existing 4.3-inch HUNTR/X figures (Rumi, Mira, Zoey), a Jinu figure and a glow-in-the-dark Derpy with Sussie set, plus a "Pop! Yourself" custom figure option on Funko's website.
