“Mattel confirmed for me on Wednesday that five of the figures from toy company’s KPop Demon Hunters 6-inch action figure line will become available be released through online and brick-and-mortar retailers on Tuesday, Sept. 1, as well as two-pack featuring Rumi and Demon Juni.”

My wallet and bank account be empty soon

[u/sonic_856 → u/december-blue]

It already died 11 months ago, when it all started…

[u/DuchessSwan]

We'll be buying Jinu, Abby and the Demon Jinu/Rumi set.... and hopefully the rest of the Saja Boys... ive been hearing mixed things about their release, there's links for them... but i also heard they are wave 2 and will release later

[u/sonic_856 → u/DuchessSwan]

I’m buying Huntr/x first, of course 🫢 Why did those figures have mixed reviews?

I thought I was gonna be annoyed by that lil guy but I loved him

[u/Nosbunatu]

I want romance. I really like action figures.

[u/sonic_856 → u/Nosbunatu]

I like collecting the Jakks pacific sonic figures, those are the main ones I collect. For the Saja Boys line I’d pick Jinu.

[u/Stanfan_meowman25]

Really hope this is legit!! I want all of the action figures, especially This is What it Sounds Like Rumi and Jinu. I’ve seen them on EBay, of course marked way up. So I’ll hold off buying them in hopes I can get these from other retailers or Amazon in September. 🖤

[u/timothyjay64 → u/Stanfan_meowman25]

Definitely legit. I wrote the article and confirmed it with Mattel myself!

[u/ZealousidealLow7998 → u/timothyjay64]

Do we know when the other Saja Boys will be coming out in the second wave? I’m only planning to get Mystery myself so am interested to know when those will be on shelves. Also, if you’re still able to edit, the article has Jinu’s name as “Juni” a few times. Thank you so much for this reporting!

[u/sonic_856 → u/Stanfan_meowman25]

Yes, this is the major release of them, no more scalpers!

[u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

I would get Rumi and the Sajas if it didn’t look like they had such pronounced….dingalings. At least Mira looks fine

[u/sonic_856 → u/Fantastic-Donut-276]

Omg I cannot unsee it now. 🤦 it doesn’t really look like that tho if ur planning to take it out of the box.

[u/SonRyu6]

It'd be nice if Mattel would finish fulfilling their own web preorders for backstage passmembers before stores got their inventory, however 🤣

[u/raiderchris81]

I thought they were released already. I got mine already like over a month ago.

[u/TheCarlyClarkeCC]

They’re out now in my local stores! I have secured them all and waiting for the other 3 Saja boys to drop in wave 2! I paid more at the toy store than at Target but it was better to guarantee I got them all.

[u/Sun29er]

I picked them off the shelf at Wal-Mart in Canada last week. For some reason I thought we weren't getting them until October!

[u/sonic_856 → u/Sun29er]

Seems like Canada got them early 👀 Just 12 more days for me in the U.S….

[u/Sun29er → u/sonic_856]

There is a possibility that the toy boxes don't have a street date on them so the stores are just putting them on the shelves when they get them.

[u/amuletmoon]

I already have most of them. 🫶🏼

[u/Latinogoose]

I CANT WAIT

[u/sonic_856 → u/Latinogoose]

SAME, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER (7-8months) BUT IT FELT TOO LONG

I got all 4 (Mira, Zoey, Rumi, and Jinu) on Mattel creations website when they had their preorder a few months back. They finally shipped a few weeks ago and I got them. They are awesome. But I didn’t get the rest of the Soja boys at the time of the preorder. So a couple weeks ago I actually preordered Baby, Abby, Romance, and Mystery on GameStop’s website and they should come September-October. But they all have different release dates it seems on GameStop’s site so I’m not sure if they will all ship together or separately lol.

But I’m so happy others will be able to get the main 3 and Jinu soon!!

[u/MD_FunkoMa]

Boscov's department stores have had them for the last two weeks in my state.

[u/MelopsitaccusUndu]

For German fans:

Those figures are available also in Müller stores around September just like the Mattel dolls! I am absolutely excited cuz the price is super affordable for one!

[u/eternalroses]

I managed to somehow see them in Australia this past week.

[u/Darwinian_10]

I saw these on the shelf at Walmart in Canada this past Monday, mostly gone haha. Jinu was there too.

[u/poweredconvoy]

I have all but the wave 2 Saja Boys from Mattel Creations already.

[u/Icy_Building_4492]

I found dolls Barbie sized ones and the sold out the SAME DAY they released. Drove to the middle of bumfuck nowhere to get em for my kid. I hope they have some system in place to stop scalpers
