The film became the first to enter the official Top 10 Movie charts worldwide for an entire year. making it Netflix’s most-streamed movie of all time.
The sequel being greenlit has only accelerated the push to keep the title visible. and the new comic boxed set is one more step in that expansion. KPop Demon Hunters has already branched out beyond the screen in multiple formats this year. First came a series of Funko Pop figures. After that, Mattel dolls joined the mix, along with official Netflix merch on Netflix’s site, including lightsticks.
Later this year, LEGO will also release a KPop Demon Hunter set featuring Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird. The franchise’s expansion isn’t staying in the toy aisle, either. The Penguin Random House release is explicitly built to “transform the 95-minute feature into a comic book.”
The boxed set is packed with extras aimed at fans who want more than just a retelling. It will include lyrics from the full soundtrack. including “Hunter’s Mantra” and “Jinu’s Lament. ” tracks from the film that were only included in the soundtrack’s deluxe version. Collectors will also get two foldout posters of HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, plus a holographic foil slipcase.
