If there’s one thing kids have been talking about this year, it’s KPop Demon Hunters.
Between the music, the characters, the outfits and, of course, Derpy Tiger, KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become one of the biggest things kids are asking for. And with Halloween and Christmas getting closer, we’ve been on the lookout for toys, costumes and activities that KPop Demon Hunters fans will be excited to find.
We now have quite a few KPop Demon Hunters toys and K-pop inspired finds at The Rocking Horse, from puzzles and colouring books to dolls and a very fun pop-star warrior costume.
If you’re shopping for a KPop Demon Hunters fan in Canada, here are some of our favourite picks.
1. Great Pretenders Rock Star Warrior Set
A great pick for: KPop Demon Hunters costumes, Halloween and dress-up
Â
Â
For the kid who wants to become a K-pop warrior themselves, this might be our favourite find.
The Great Pretenders Rock Star Warrior Set has that bold pop-star-meets-warrior look KPop Demon Hunters fans will immediately recognize, with a shimmering white iridescent skirt and coordinating top layered with a black sequin jacket. The sets come in sizes 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.
The black, white and gold colour palette gives it a very HUNTR/X feel, while the gold star detail and sequins make it just as fun for putting on a performance in the living room as it is for heading out on Halloween night.
It’s also a costume kids can keep using long after Halloween for dress-up, dance parties and their own demon-hunting adventures.
A great pick for: Kids who love HUNTR/X, K-pop fashion, costumes and imaginative play.
Please note: This is a Great Pretenders costume and is not official KPop Demon Hunters merchandise.
2. Great Pretenders Rock Star Purple Hair Braid
A great pick for: Creating a KPop Demon Hunters inspired hairstyle
Sometimes the hair is half the costume.
The Great Pretenders Rock Star Purple Hair Braid is an easy way to add a dramatic K-pop look without committing to a wig or temporary hair colour.
The clip-in braid is filled with shimmering purple strands and uses four snap clips to create a mohawk-style bubble braid along the top of the head.
Pair it with the Rock Star Warrior Set for a complete KPop Demon Hunters inspired Halloween costume, or add it to clothes kids already have for a much simpler DIY costume.
And because it clips in and out, it can come right back out again for dress-up and dance parties.
A great pick for: Kids who love experimenting with K-pop hairstyles and want to complete their pop-star warrior look.
3. Ravensburger KPop Demon Hunters Puzzles
A great pick for: KPop Demon Hunters fans ages 6+
For kids who would rather sit down with their favourite characters, Ravensburger has two KPop Demon Hunters puzzles this year.
The Ravensburger 100 Piece KPop Demon Hunters Puzzle features Rumi, Mira and Zoey together and is a great option for younger fans. Ravensburger's 100-piece puzzles are typically suited to kids around age 6 and up.
For older kids, there’s also a Ravensburger 300 Piece KPop Demon Hunters Puzzle featuring two characters who have become favourites in their own right: Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird.
The 300-piece version offers a little more of a challenge and is typically suited to kids around age 9 and up.
These are particularly good choices if you’re looking for a KPop Demon Hunters gift that isn’t another figure or piece of merchandise. They’re also easy gifts for birthdays, Christmas and family puzzle nights.
A great pick for: Puzzle lovers and kids who want something featuring their favourite KPop Demon Hunters characters.
4. Our Generation KPop Dolls
A great pick for: Kids who love dolls, fashion and K-pop
If KPop Demon Hunters has sparked a full K-pop obsession in your house, the Our Generation KPop Dolls are another really fun option.
We have two K-pop inspired Our Generation dolls to choose from, including one with black hair and another with purple hair.
While these aren't official KPop Demon Hunters dolls, they give kids a chance to create their own K-pop stories, performances and adventures with their 18-inch doll collection.
We can see these being especially fun for kids who already have Our Generation dolls at home and want to build their own K-pop group.
A great pick for: Our Generation collectors, doll lovers and kids who want to create their own K-pop group.
Please note: These are Our Generation KPop dolls and are not official KPop Demon Hunters merchandise.
5. KPop Demon Hunters Colouring Books
A great pick for: Quiet time, travel and smaller gifts
For something easy to tuck into a gift bag or bring along on a trip, we have a couple of KPop Demon Hunters colouring book options for different ages.
For younger fans, the Crayola KPop Demon Hunters Colouring Book is designed for kids ages 3 and up and gives little fans an easy way to colour and spend time with the characters they love.
For older kids, there’s KPop Demon Hunters: The Official Deluxe Colouring Book, with more detailed pages for fans who want to spend a little longer creating.
Colouring books are also an easy choice when a child is completely obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters but you aren't quite sure which character or toy they already have.
A great pick for: KPop Demon Hunters fans of different ages, stocking stuffers, birthday gifts and creative kids.
What Do You Buy a Kid Who Loves KPop Demon Hunters?
The good news is that there are quite a few directions you can go.
If they spend their days singing the songs and pretending to be part of HUNTR/X, we’d go with the Great Pretenders Rock Star Warrior Set and Purple Hair Braid.
For kids who like activities, the Ravensburger KPop Demon Hunters puzzles and KPop Demon Hunters colouring books are easy picks, with options for both younger and older fans.
And if they love dolls and imaginative play, the Our Generation KPop Dolls let them take the K-pop theme and create stories of their own.
With KPop Demon Hunters already this popular heading into fall, we have a feeling we’re going to be hearing a lot about it as Halloween and Christmas get closer.
You can shop our KPop Demon Hunters toys, puzzles, colouring books and K-pop inspired gifts online at The Rocking Horse, with shipping available across Canada, or visit us in downtown Kingston, Ontario.
