There are a lot of KPop Demon Hunters toys available now, and I mean a lot. It's a nice contrast to the initial hype surrounding the film's release on Netflix, when the only thing available was scary-looking bootleg dolls and overpriced shirts exclusive to the Netflix online store.
Now, I can pick up a toy based on Huntrix (HUNTR/X) or the Saja Boys while I do my weekly food shop, and I have many times. But this incoming Rumi Sain-Geom Premium Electronic Sword by Hasbro takes the cake (or should I say Songpyeon) as one of the best toys I've laid eyes on that's inspired by the Netflix phenomenon.
As you can likely guess from its $224.99 pre-order price, the replica of Rumi's Sain-Geom, which was originally unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, is aimed at adult fans and collectors. Though if I were a little Kpop Demon Hunters fan, I'd be clamouring to own this gorgeous sword, as it's not only a stunning reproduction of Rumi's iconic weapon, but it lights up, reacts to music, and makes sound effects from the film when you wield it. Protecting the Honmoon would be an easy feat with this in your arsenal, and I've never wanted a piece of KDH merch more.
You can pre-order Rumi's Sain-Geom Premium Electronic Sword straight from the Hasbro Pulse online store in the US, or pick it up for £264.99 from Forbidden Planet and other UK retailers.
Much like Hasbro's line-up of roleplaying replicas, like the fabulous Marvel Legends Wolverine Mask I know our toy expert Benjamin Abbott desperately wants (and I can't blame him), there's a lot of detail found within Rumi's Four Tiger Sword. Setting aside the lighting and sound effects for one moment, this looks like it stepped straight out of the Netflix musical with its pearlescent shimmer and gold details.
The official Hasbro Pulse storefront has plenty of close-ups that even depict the stunning pink markings on the hilt, which, in contrast to the gold, remind me of some of the most classic replicas in toy history: Bandai's 90s Sailor Moon prop line. The good thing is that this is more detailed than those vintage magical girl toys. For one, the 40-inch (101 cm) sword looks practically to scale with the adult model in the marketing images, so it should be perfect to wield around the room or even use for cosplay if you're comfortable taking a valuable collectable to the often busy convention floor.
Personally, as someone who used to cosplay years ago and even entered competitions, I'd not recommend using this as a prop unless it's just for a photoshoot or two. That's because I know for a fact that the lighting effects would look dazzling for a Rumi cosplay, particularly as they're even sound reactive. Hasbro states the toy has 4 unique interactive modes in total, and 'Song recognition mode' is one of them. If you play a song from the Kpop Demon Hunters OST, or any music for that matter, the LEDs inside will react to the beat - which is unfathomably cool.
Other modes include a 'Rainbow swing FX mode' which reveals rainbow colors that change as you move around, a 'Battle mode' which produces audible sound effects taken from the film, and a 'Display mode'. That last mode gives you the option to display your sword while still basking in the glow from its fancy lighting, which is a really neat inclusion. Hasbro has also included a Huntrix logo stand in the box so you can keep the sword protected while it's in this mode, an inclusion that's often found with other brands' premium toy weapon replicas.
Even if you're not a Kpop Demon Hunters fan, this light-up prop should get you excited about what's to come. Hasbro recently won the licence to create toys based on the Legend of Zelda series, so there's every chance we could see replicas of a wealth of Zelda weapons and items in the future. For now, they've stuck to launching a set of Tears of the Kingdom action figures, but I can entirely foresee an instance where we have replicas of everything from the Master Sword to more obscure items in Link's massive arsenal, from the hookshot from Ocarina of Time to the Wind Waker baton from Wind Waker.
There have been some Legend of Zelda replicas released in the past, and I even own the Bandai Proplica Master Sword, which has slashing sound effects much like Hasbro's Kpop Demon Hunters sword. However, these are often out of stock or have stopped being manufactured altogether. With that in mind, it'd be nice to see Hasbro take the helm and release an abundance of options for collectors that are easy to find amongst the physical and online toy shelves, just like its many Marvel and Star Wars roleplay toy releases.
In the interim, if I didn't already pre-order the singing Golden KPop Demon Hunter dolls, which don't release in the UK until September, then I'd be jumping on Rumi Sain-Geom. The toy isn't expected to start shipping until July 1, 2027, so I can only assume that pre-orders will be available for quite some time. Or at least, I hope that's the case, as it'll give me a moment to recoup my costs from the dolls and stop drinking as much soda pop so I can gather the $224.99 / £264.99 needed for this incredible collectible.
That being said, the official UK Forbidden Planet listing states the toy should start shipping on August 27, 2026, so I might need to start saving sooner rather than later.
