The competition for rare cards found in McDonald's "KPop Demon Hunters" meals has gone beyond the restaurant – surpassing the cost of the meals themselves and topping $100 for a specific rare card.

Fans of the animated Netflix film seeking to collect all of the cards included in the Hunter/X Meals and Saja Boys Breakfast Meals (available for a limited time) can now hunt for the cards on reselling sites. On eBay, you could spend $120 on an ultra-rare card showing characters Rumi and Juni holding hands. Also there: a rare Rumi holographic card for $75 or more. You can also find a less-rare quartet of cards for $40.

Elsewhere on the Whatnot site, where pop culture collectibles are sold via auction and live shopping shows, you can find the Hands card for $65.

"I got the one with Rumi’s and Jinu’s hands. Is that good? Can I sell these and retire? 🤞" one person posted on social media platform Reddit.

Reselling activity led fans online to create a separate Reddit chat thread for trading to avoid the high prices.

McDonald's 'KPop Demon Hunters' meals – what's included?

Beginning March 31, McDonald's began offering two "KPop Demon Hunters"-themed meals, one each featuring Huntr/X, the South Korean pop girl group that battles demons with music, and the Saja Boys, a boy band made up of demons. Each meal comes with a collectible pack including a photocard of art featuring either Huntr/X or the Saja Boys, and a Derpy the Tiger access card with a QR code that unlocks exclusive content via the McDonald's app. That content is "a special reveal of the group that wins the Battle for the Fans," according to a McDonald's news release.

Here's what food items are in the meals:

  • The Huntr/X Meal: A 10-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, medium soft drink, and Ramyeon McShaker Fries, which have a soy, garlic, sesame, and spice seasoning inspired by Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's go-to noodle snack. Sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, toss in the fries, and shake to distribute the seasoning on the fries. The meal also has two sauces – a sweet Hunter Sauce and a tangy Demon Sauce.
  • The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal: The Sausage McMuffin with Egg comes topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce. You also get Hash Browns and a small soft drink.
McDonald's has dueling 'KPop Demon Hunters' adult meals on the menu for a limited time.

How many McDonald's 'KPop Demon Hunters' cards are there?

The McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters collaboration has a total of 13 cards. A full set of the cards is going for as much as $250 on eBay.

The card with characters Rumi and Jinu holding hands is considered the “chase card” – a term signifying the rarest or highest value card in a set. That card may be found when you purchase either the Huntr/X Meal or the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal.

It is the only card to denote its rarity with a heart symbol and has been described as “one of the rarest” cards from the joint promotion by McDonald’s senior marketing director Guillaume Huin in a post on X.

What is the rarity of the cards in the 'KPop Demon Hunters' meals?

Here are the other cards you can get in the "KPop Demon Hunters" meals:

In addition to the Rumi and Jinu card, there are five cards obtainable from The Huntr/X Meal (listed with their rarity):

  • Rumi holofoil in white outfit (3 Diamonds, Rare)
  • Huntr/X (2 Diamonds, Uncommon)
  • Rumi (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Mira (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Zoey (1 Diamond, Common)
McDonald's 'KPop Demon Hunters' meals include either a Huntr/X or Saja Boys character card plus a photocard code for the Battle for the Fans event. Shown here is the rare Rumi holofoil card on the left and the Abby Saja common card on the right.

In addition to the Rumi and Jinu, there are the seven cards from the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal

  • Jinu Demon holofoil (3 Diamonds, Rare)
  • Saja Boys (2 Diamonds, Uncommon)
  • Jinu (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Abby (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Baby (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Mystery (1 Diamond, Common)
  • Romance (1 Diamond, Common)

So far, demand for the cards hasn't led to a situation similar to one the fast-food chain faced in Japan last year when McDonald's canceled a Pokemon collaboration after demand for a special Pikachu card led to long lines at restaurants and abundant food waste as buyers trashed uneaten meals.
