Despite record-breaking success, fans are left wondering why there’s no official merchandise for Netflix’s latest animated phenomenon.

Netflix’s Latest Smash Hit

November 5, 2025: Netflix has done it again — KPop Demon Hunters has exploded into the streaming giant’s biggest hit to date. The high-energy animated film, blending K-pop glamour with supernatural action, has captured audiences across the globe, dominating the platform’s charts since its release. HOLR breaks down the story here.

The movie follows a group of stylish K-pop idols who secretly moonlight as demon hunters, balancing their musical fame with saving the world from dark forces. With its stunning animation, catchy soundtrack, and empowering themes of sisterhood and identity, KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become a pop culture juggernaut.

Fans Want Merch — But It’s Nowhere to Be Found

Despite the film’s massive popularity, one major question lingers among fans: where is the KPop Demon Hunters merchandise? Viewers have taken to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to voice their frustration that no official toys, collectibles, or apparel have been released.

Many expected the movie’s success to follow the same pattern as other animated sensations such as Encanto and Frozen, which generated billions in toy sales. Yet, even as KPop Demon Hunters breaks viewership records, there’s still no sign of dolls, figurines, or fan memorabilia.

“Netflix is sitting on a goldmine,” one fan commented. “We’d buy these dolls, posters, and even albums in a heartbeat.”

The Missed Opportunity

Industry analysts are calling the lack of merchandise a major missed opportunity for Netflix. Typically, films with strong visual and musical branding — especially those targeting younger audiences — capitalize on licensing deals and partnerships with toy manufacturers.

However, Netflix has historically struggled to establish a strong merchandise pipeline compared to competitors like Disney. Some insiders suggest that licensing negotiations for KPop Demon Hunters began too late to meet the overwhelming fan demand.

HOLR has the latest news, and sources say Netflix is now exploring partnerships with major toy companies to roll out limited-edition products before the holiday season.

A Global Phenomenon in the Making

Since its release, KPop Demon Hunters has sparked a wave of fan art, cosplay, and viral dance covers on social media. The movie’s soundtrack — featuring original K-pop tracks performed by real artists — has also climbed international music charts, proving the franchise’s enormous global reach.

Experts predict that if Netflix moves quickly, KPop Demon Hunters could evolve into one of the biggest multimedia franchises of the decade, spanning music, games, and live events.

Fans Await Official Confirmation

As of now, Netflix has not issued a statement on official KPop Demon Hunters merchandise. But given the film’s continued dominance and passionate fan response, it’s only a matter of time before the streaming giant steps into the retail spotlight.

For now, fans can only hope that the K-pop demon-hunting idols they adore will soon make their way from the screen to store shelves.
