Official K-Pop Demon Hunters Character Roster: Names, Designs, and Collectible Card Art
By Alexander Ross
The transition from digital animation frames to physical collectibles has moved at breakneck speed throughout 2026. Outlook Respawn highlighted this momentum when covering the dual announcement of KAYOU’s specialized card series alongside Mattel’s Third Wave action figure collection. The KAYOU release introduces multiple visual foil finishes, using authentic animation cels to document both the civilian idol stages and dark underworld battle sequences.
Mattel’s latest figures introduce enhanced articulation tailored to the group's fluid combat stances. Wave 3 focuses heavily on battle-damaged variants and glowing spiritual weapons, addressing collector demand for hyper-accurate shelf display pieces. Early production runs featured standard concert gear; Wave 3 pivots entirely to the film's climax, equipping Ruka and Ji-young with spirit-forged armaments that light up under ultraviolet display lamps.
