  "account": "Netflix's animated musical hit, KPop Demon Hunters, continues to captivate fans with the release of a new blind box collectible. The CultureFly-produced phone huggers, designed to display the trio’s heroes and rivals on electronic devices, take the series' popularity to new heights. The merchandise line joins previous collectibles such as instant noodle-themed blind boxes, Funko Pops!, and keychain charms. Fans now have the chance to add these miniature accessories to their collections, featuring all nine possible character designs – from HUNTR/X members Rumi, Zoey, and Mira to the Saja Boys and the beloved blue tiger, Derpy. While the figures are decorative and not functional grips, they offer a fun and unique way to showcase one’s favorite characters. Each mystery silicone minifigure, intended for display rather than use, can be placed on phones, tablets, computer monitors, or other flat surfaces without leaving residue.",
