What better way to start your day than with Derpy, the lovable supernatural tiger from the hit animated movie KPop Demon Hunters ?

That’s what Netflix is surely hoping for with the latest merch release from the Oscar-winning film , which features Derpy on a color-changing mug. The coffee cup starts off as a black mug, but when hot liquid is added to it (say, coffee, tea or hot water), the black fades away to reveal an image of Derpy lurking in the shadows. The full image reveals slowly, almost as if your mug is coming to life as you sip your drink.

This is an 11 oz. mug (just a little less than the capacity of a Starbucks “tall” cup) and it’s made from ceramic.

Worth noting: The manufacturer recommends hand-washing only, to preserve the heat-reactive artwork (i.e., maybe don’t put it in the dishwasher). The mug comes in an accompanying KPop Demon Hunters -branded box that’s perfect for gifting.

Netflix also has other KPop Demon Hunters -inspired mugs available, including this one, featuring the Saja Boys.

The ceramic mug features full-color illustrations of Jinu, Abby, Mystery, Romance and Baby against a white background. There is a slight glossy sheen to the image, as befitting the starry K-pop boy band. Because this is not a color-changing option, this mug is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

Of course, the girls in HUNTR/X have their own official mug as well, with this one showing Rumi, Mira and Zoey in their demon hunter poses against a black background.

Like the other mugs, this holds up to 11 oz. of liquid (about 325 ml) and it measures approximately 4 x 3 inches in size.

SHINY FINISH

Fans can seal their collection with this “Golden Honmoon”-inspired mug, depicting the HUNTR/X trio in their performance outfits.

The ceramic mug has a shiny finish and the word “GOLDEN” written in bold across the top. Like the other two mugs above, this one is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

“Golden” of course, quickly became the signature song from KPop Demon Hunters , topping the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, and winning the Academy Award for best original song earlier this year.

All four mugs above are officially licensed by Netflix and come in a purple-colored gift box, matching the signature color of the film. In addition to using these for drinks, reviewers have also mentioned using the mugs as desk accessories to hold pens and pencils, or as a display piece on a bookshelf.
