Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters continues to expand its growing lineup of collectibles with a new blind box featuring phone huggers. The CultureFly release is the latest mystery-box merchandise inspired by the breakout animated musical hit, joining previous collectibles, like instant noodle-themed blind boxes, Funko Pops! and keychain charms. Now, fans have another chance to test their luck with a new series of miniature accessories that display their favorite heroes (and rivals) on phones and other electronic devices.

KPop Demon Hunters has become one of Netflix’s biggest success stories, with its soundtrack dominating streaming charts and “Golden” winning an Oscar, not to mention HUNTR/X emerging as a genuine K-pop phenomenon. Momentum shows no signs of slowing down, especially as the fictional musical trio is set to embark on a global concert tour that will bring the movie’s music to live audiences.

The collection features all three members of HUNTR/X (Rumi, Zoey and Mira), the Saja Boys (Jinu, Romance, Mystery, Abby and Baby), plus the fan-favorite blue tiger, Derpy. Each figure is made from flexible silicone and is designed to grip the edge of a phone, tablet, computer monitor or other flat surface without leaving sticky residue when removed or repositioned. The figures are intended as decorative accessories rather than functional phone grips or stands.

Because this is a blind box, buyers can’t choose which character they receive, and duplicates are possible when purchasing multiple boxes, but that’s part of the fun of collecting them. My advice? Start a collection with friends and swap minifigures until everyone has each character.

Give yourself a more secure and comfortable grip on your phone when texting and taking photos, or watch videos hands-free. This MagSafe-compatible PopWallet holds up to three cards and can snap on or off your phone with ease. An adaptor ring is included to attach to your phone case for wireless charging. Also available in a magnetic PopGrip and an adhesive PopGrip. All three products feature a swappable top to change the artwork. The adhesive PopGrip attaches to most smooth, hard plastic phone cases but is not compatible with wireless charging.
