Mattel and Hasbro Unveil Full 'KPop Demon Hunters' Toy Lines at Nuremberg, Rollout Set for Mid‑2026

Mattel targets a mid‑2026 rollout to convert the streaming hit into lasting retail demand.

Overview

  • Netflix and licensees showcased the complete Mattel and Hasbro assortments at the Nuremberg Toy Fair following the film’s strong global traction on the platform.
  • Mattel plans distribution to begin in the boreal summer of 2026 with staggered collections, though some industry posts cite fall 2026 as the timing.
  • Mattel’s lineup includes singing dolls of Rumi, Zoey and Mira along with American Girl editions, a UNO release, Polly Pocket sets and Little People Collector figures.
  • Hasbro’s range features NERF role‑play gear, infrared‑synced lightsticks for in‑universe groups, Furby Furblets specials and a themed Monopoly game.
  • The company says it accelerated development with Netflix that typically takes about 18 months, and Netflix executives emphasize merchandise as core to extending the IP as Deadline reports a possible 2029 sequel not yet announced by Netflix.
