“KPop Demon Hunters” actors sing on the red carpet of Netflix House
“K-Pop Demon Hunter” actor Kevin Woo sings “Soda Pop” on the Netflix House red carpet. Woo is the singing voice for Mystery.
After floating around Manhattan in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, “KPop Demon Hunter’s” favorite mythical sidekicks, Derpy and Susie, got their own stuffed animals.
Global toy manufacturer Jazzwares announced on Thursday, December 4th, that it has teamed up with Sony Pictures Animation to bring two popular characters from the hit Netflix movie to life as Suxmallows.
“Fighting evil just got even more fun,” Jazzwear said in a news release. The two supernatural creatures were Jin-woo’s pets before becoming Rumi’s pets.
The company said it plans to “create a full line of plush toys, squishmallows, and BumBumz inspired by the global phenomenon of Netflix.” These products will be available in retail stores in the U.S. and around the world in 2026, with additional products available in select markets.
“KPop Demon Hunters is taking the world by storm, and we’re putting fans at the center of the action with an epic and comprehensive plush line-up that allows kids and collectors to step into a world buzzing on screen and on social media,” Jazzwares chief brand officer Jeremy Padawer said in a statement.

Derpy has been described as “a lovable supernatural tiger from the underworld, whose clumsy charm–you can knock over a flower pot and never put it back together–and your big heart make you instantly endearing.” According to Netflix, the character is based on Babo Horangi (바보호랑이), who repeatedly appears in Korean folk paintings, a traditional folk painting style that flourished during the Joseon Dynasty.
- Sith 8 inch Squashmallow – $14.99
Sassy is a six-eyed supernatural magpie with three eyes on each side of her face.
When will “KPop Demon Hunter” Sushmallow be released?
“KPop Demon Hunter” Squishmallows will be available for pre-order starting December 4th at Squishmallows.com while supplies last, with shipping expected in May 2026.
Jazzwares said only the Derpy and Susie Squishmallows will be available for pre-order on December 4, adding that additional products will be released in 2026.
“Jazwares’ KPop Demon Hunter lineup includes a wide range of plush toys featuring fan-favorite heroes, villains, and sidekicks, all capturing the action-packed demon-hunting energy of the blockbuster movie,” the toy company said in a news release.
Given the show’s popularity, we recommend anyone who wants these squishmallows to order soon. In early November, Mattel released the “KPop Demon Hunter” HUNTR/X doll set, which quickly sold out.
What is “KPop Demon Hunters”?
Netflix’s animated film “KPop Demon Hunters,” directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, was a huge hit and is about a pop girl group called HUNTR/X who fight demons.
The film received more than 325 million views worldwide in 91 days, making it Netflix’s most popular film of all time, according to the streaming service.
