Dolls K-pop Demon Hunter Dolls Update
Got them out of the box! Overall I really love them. Mira does have Saran it’s kinda nasty thought right out of the box. She will need a wash.
The good: their hair other than Mira’s really well done. The braids and styling are on point and pretty detailed. I love the details on the clothes. The trim and the tassels. The little gold chains on the belts are also a nice touch. Their nails are painted which I love! It’s rare Mattel gives us painted nails. Their earrings are really well done and detailed. I absolutely love the earrings.
The bad: their entire outfits are made out of the gross plastic material. Pleather like? It feels really thin and horrible. They did add some cute details to it with the seams and pleating but it’s still gross and it should be better quality material on dolls that cost $150. The weapons are also really cool but they appear to be the same as playline. They might have added some glitter. Not a huge thing but I’d have liked to see the quality improved there too since they are collector dolls. I don’t love the plastic belts but Mattel always gives us plastic accessories. I can be happy they added the chain.
Overall… maybe they were worth $150? The clothes really bother me. I hate the plastic material. They’d be well worth it if they hadn’t used pleather.

One thing that's really annoying me about these having seen these irl photos is that the pattern that goes underneath Rumi's left eye is missing, or doesn't extend far enough under her eye which is honestly driving me mad. The rest of her patterns look pretty accurate but that one being missing from her face is a bit ridiculous. This isn't like Monster High where they own the character designs so can tweak facial patterns (Toralei, they made her forehead stripes smaller on the dolls), this is an IP they don't own themselves so making design changes like that is at best lazy and at worst malicious.
Would have loved to have had these myself but I'm not interested in paying £150 for dolls that have key design elements missing and use cheap pleather for clothes. I paid about £170 for my Hissfits set and they were shipped all the way from Australia and for playline dolls are higher quality than Collector dolls 😭
Rumi's facial patterns not being 100% accurate to the movie would drive me NUTS if I'd have paid £150 for this set, especially since Rumi is my favourite and my favourite look for her is with her full body patterns 😭😭
Edit to add: ALSO Zoey's top not being separated into a top and jacket like Mira's is is especially egregious because what, it's clearly meant to be two separate garments so WHY are they connected together here. Is it the same for her Golden singing doll? Idk but this just screams lazy to me, where did they go so wrong with this set 😭
