See what’s inside McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunter meal
The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal is a Sausage McMuffin and Egg Meal, and the Hunter/X Meal is a 10 Piece Chicken McNugget and McShaker Fries meal.
The competition for rare cards included in McDonald’s “KPop Demon Hunter” meals extends beyond the restaurant and beyond the price of the meal itself, with certain rare cards exceeding $100.
Fans of the Netflix animated film who want to collect all the cards included in Hunter/X Meal and Saja Boys Breakfast Meal (available for a limited time) can now find the cards on resale sites. On eBay, you can spend $120 on an ultra-rare card featuring the characters Rumi and Juni holding hands. There are also rare Rumi holographic cards that sell for over $75. A four-card set of lesser rarities is also available for $40.
Elsewhere on the Whatnot site, where pop culture collectibles are sold through auctions and live shopping shows, you can find Hands cards for $65.
The resale activity prompted online fans to start a separate chat thread on social media platform Reddit to avoid high prices. “I got something from Rumi and Jinwoo. Is that okay? Can I sell it and retire? 🤞,” one person posted on Reddit.
McDonald’s “KPop Demon Hunter” Meal – What’s Included?
Starting March 31st, McDonald’s began offering two menus themed around “KPop Demon Hunter,” featuring the Korean pop girl group “Huntr/X,” which fights demons through music, and the boy band “Saja Boys,” made up of demons. Each meal comes with a collectible pack that includes an art photocard featuring either Huntr/X or Saja Boys and a Derpy the Tiger access card with a QR code to unlock exclusive content via the McDonald’s app. According to a McDonald’s news release, it’s a “special look at the group that won the fight for their fans.”
The ingredients included in the meal are:
- Hunter/X’s Meal: Order 10 Ramyeon McShaker fries with chicken McNuggets, medium soft drink, and a soy, garlic, sesame, and spice flavor inspired by Rumi, Mila, and Zoe’s go-to noodle snack. Sprinkle the seasoning in a Mac shaker bag, add the fries, and shake to distribute the seasoning over the fries. It also comes with two types of sauce: sweet hunter sauce and tangy demon sauce.
- Saja Boys breakfast meals: Sausage McMuffin with egg is topped with spicy saja sauce. It also comes with hash browns and a small soft drink.
How many McDonald’s “KPop Demon Hunter” cards are there?
There are a total of 13 cards in McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters collaboration. A full set of cards is selling for $250 on eBay.
Cards with the characters Rumi and Jinwoo holding hands are considered “chase cards.” This is a term that refers to the rarest or most valuable card in a set. This card may be found when purchasing Huntr/X Meal or Saja Boys Breakfast Meal.
This is the only card that shows rarity with a heart symbol, and McDonald’s senior marketing director Guillaume Huin described it in a post on X as one of the co-promotion’s “rarest” cards.
