KPop Demon Hunters Dolls

Mattel

While I know that Netflix has been rushing to get out KPop Demon Hunters merch after its unexpected tidal wave of success, “rush” is not often a thing that can happen in the retail industry, much of the time. The first KPop Demon Hunters Mattel dolls certainly prove that.

Pre-Orders for the KPop Demon Hunters Dolls will have you battling scalpers on Wednesday, November 12, at 12 PM ET, where you can buy three 3-packs at once. As in, nine dolls, if you’re so inclined to try to get into the resale market yourself. But if, as a normal consumer, you just want one trio, that will run you $150 for the set.

The other problem? The ship date. You are pre-ordering these dolls, not buying them. The images shown are not factory products, they are renders of what they will look like, and Mattel’s best estimate is that they will ship almost a year from now, in October 2026. So, just in time for next Christmas, and a year and a half after the original movie actually aired. The sequel is reportedly not getting here until 2029.

Mattel

Past all of this, the doll design is just…not very good? Some fans may approve, but on closer inspection, a lot of these just look…off. I’d say that’s especially true of Zoey, who pretty much looks like an entirely different character. The others are better, but there’s just not something quite right about Rumi and Mira either. If you want to see this in action, you can check out the work of doll customizer Yohan, who has gone through all three of them with fixes:

The caveats here are that A) these are renders, not the final product, and things could still change or be adjusted before production and B) these are not hyper-accurate figurines, they are still dolls, and there is often some leeway there. For many fans of the movie, “good enough” is probably all that’s needed. But I mean, $150 and an entire year of waiting isn’t nothing.

Despite all of this, no matter the stock, they will sell out immediately, so prepare to get your heart broken. And like I said, there’s a good chance this is not just going to be other rabid fans you’re competing against, but scalpers and their bot armies, and expect to see these on sale on Ebay for 10x the price at some point.

There will be a rolling wave of all kinds of KPop Demon Hunters merch heading to shelves between deals with Mattel and Hasbro. As for the movie itself, as mentioned, the sequel is four years away, and we don’t know what else may show up in the interim, with nothing officially announced.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
