K-Pop Demon Hunters Slime Has Landed: Gui Gui's Netflix Collab Explained
Gui Gui K-Pop Demon Hunters slime is a blind-pack DIY slime kit themed on the Netflix series, with four characters to collect (Rumi, Mira, Zoey and Derpy Tiger) and an ultra-rare Golden Slime. It is marked for ages 6 and up and is sold in the UAE at Colorland Toys. If a child in your house has been saying those names, this post is for you.
What it is
The Gui Gui K-Pop Demon Hunters Slime Single Pack is a character slime built on the same structure as the rest of the Gui Gui range: a base slime, decorative mix-ins, a hidden collectible, and a five-step routine to work through.
The difference is the licence. Each pack is themed to one of four characters from the Netflix series, and the slime inside is designed around that character rather than being a generic colour with a sticker on the lid.
The four characters
- Rumi
- Mira
- Zoey
- Derpy Tiger
Each has its own slime style, colour and decorative mix-ins. The packs are sold as a random selection, so you get one of the four, not one of your choosing.
The Golden Slime
There is an ultra-rare Limited Edition Golden Slime in circulation across the line. It is the reason a child who has one pack will want a second.
Worth being straight about this before you buy. A limited edition inside a blind pack is a very effective mechanic, and it is designed to be. If you want to enjoy the collecting, treat it as a bonus rather than a target. If your child treats it as a target, set the number of packs before you start rather than after.
The five-step routine
Every Gui Gui pack runs the same sequence, and the K-Pop Demon Hunters version has its own twist in the middle.
- Reveal. Open it and find out which character you got.
- Boost. Work in the booster to set the texture.
- Decorate. Add the character mix-ins.
- Uncover the medallion. The collectible step for this line.
- Finish with sparkle. Then it goes on a shelf.
About twenty minutes the first time. That is the actual product.
Why streaming toys sell out
Toy production used to run on a schedule set a year in advance. Streaming does not. A show can go from unwatched to everywhere in a fortnight, and demand arrives long before anybody has manufactured anything for it.
That gap is why merchandise for a hit show is hard to find, and why the things that do arrive early tend to be small-format items like slime, plush and blind packs rather than large playsets. They are faster to make.
The practical version for a parent: if your child wants something from a show that is currently popular, buy it when you see it. It is not a category where waiting for a sale works.
What you are actually paying for
A fair question when a plain slime jar costs less.
The base slime is roughly the same across the Gui Gui range. What the licensed pack adds is a character design, themed decorative mix-ins, the medallion step, and a place in a set of four. For a child who cares about the show, all four of those matter. For a child who does not, none of them do, and a Fruity Glow single pack gives the same twenty minutes for a little less.
That is the whole decision. It is not a better slime, it is the right slime for one specific child.
How to buy it without it becoming four purchases
Four characters plus a rare Golden Slime is a set designed to be completed, so decide the shape of it before the first pack.
- One pack, no promises. The safest version. See whether the interest is about the show or about collecting.
- A fixed number, agreed out loud. Two now, two at a birthday, works better than an open-ended stream.
- Swapping. Duplicates are the point of a set like this. A child with friends collecting the same line will trade their way to a full set without spending more.
What does not work is buying a second pack to fix a disappointing first one. That is how one pack becomes four across a fortnight.
Who it suits
- A fan of the show. Obviously. This is the whole point.
- Ages 8 to 12. Old enough to run the routine alone. Check the age marking on the pack.
- A collector. Four characters plus a rare edition is a set worth chasing.
- Not a first slime kit for a younger child. The pocket-size mini jar is a better place to start.
What else is in the range
If the character licence is the draw, there are two others worth knowing about. The Sanrio Cinnamoroll Slime is a named character with no guessing. The Hello Kitty and Friends Surprise Pack is a blind pack like this one.
The full range, from a mini jar to a ten-slime mega kit, is in the Gui Gui collection.
Not into slime? The same show on a card table
If the show is the draw but slime is not welcome in your house, there is also a K-Pop Demon Hunters edition of UNO. Same characters, no mess, and it works for the whole family on a weekend evening.
Where to buy it in the UAE
Colorland Toys is the exclusive UAE stockist for Gui Gui. Licensed slime is one of the most counterfeited things you can buy online, so buying it from a shop that names the brand and prices in AED is not a small thing.

No. The packs are sold as a random selection, so you receive one of the four.
What is the Golden Slime?
An ultra-rare Limited Edition Golden Slime that some lucky buyers find inside a pack. Treat it as a bonus rather than a target.

Is K-Pop Demon Hunters slime safe?
Gui Gui slime is made with non-toxic ingredients. As with any slime, it is not for eating, it is best used at a table, and the lid should go back on after every session.
