Soda Pop and Soul Theft: The Saja Boys Hit the Tabletop

-

As I’m always on the lookout for unarmed civilian‑type figures, these caught my eye straight away. That practical need was only part of the reason for picking them up, though - the other was my fondness for the film K‑Pop Demon Hunters, which quickly became a favourite.

The Saja Boys are a fictional five‑member K‑pop boy group and serve as the primary antagonists in Netflix’s animated film K‑Pop Demon Hunters (2025). On the surface, they are chart‑topping idols, adored by fans around the world. Beneath that polished exterior, however, they are demons in disguise, working to undermine the film’s heroes, the girl group HUNTR/X.

The group consists of five members:

  • Jinu, the leader
  • Mystery
  • Abby (also known as Abs)
  • Romance
  • Baby

Formed under the command of the demon ruler Gwi‑Ma, the Saja Boys rely on psychological and cultural manipulation rather than brute force. Their plan is to lure fans away from HUNTR/X, siphon off the spiritual energy generated by mass adoration, and use large‑scale performances to harvest souls. Their meteoric rise ultimately leads to a high‑stakes confrontation during a major idol awards event.

What makes these figures especially appealing is that they represent two sides of the same characters: glamorous K‑pop idols by day, and sinister demons by night. That duality makes them an interesting addition, both thematically and visually, whether viewed as narrative elements or repurposed as civilian figures on the tabletop.

The Botched Deal

The Wayfinder dropped out of hyperspace with a shimmer of stretched starlight snapping back into stars. Brains deftly guided the aging freighter through reentry, hands dancing across the control panel. “I’ve got the beacon. Plotting for the settlement now.” Cap’in leaned over his shoulder, eyes scanning the glowing readouts. She pointed toward a cluster of rugged hills at the edge of the valley. “Set her down in the shadow of those cliffs on the outskirts. I don’t want anyone making off with the Wayfinder while we’re in town.” Brains nodded and adjusted course without a word. The ship landed with a gentle thud, its engines cycling down in a dusty haze. The ramp lowered, and the crew stepped into the arid wind. “We’re making our way to the town on foot,” Cap’in said, tightening her cloak against the gusts. She swept her gaze across the distant jumble of buildings. “It might look like a ramshackle, dust-choked outpost, but it’s crawling with bounty hunters, slicers, and desperate types...

First game of 'Exploit Zero - Mission Critical'

Expolit Zero - Mission Critical by Patrick Todoroff is a set of miniature wargaming rules designed for small-scale, fast-paced sci-fi skirmishes.  Designed for two players, the game is intended for use with various sci-fi settings between elite three-person teams - known as Direct Action Units (DAUs). Each player commands a DAU comprising a Ronin (ranged specialist), a Razor (melee expert), and a Specialist (medic/hacker). Players engage in missions with hidden objectives, meaning each team may pursue different goals within the same environment. The game employs a streamlined action system where each operative has access to three dice - a D6, D8, and D10 - allocated to perform actions such as movement, attacks, or hacking attempts. Successes are typically achieved on rolls of 4 or higher. Also, a free movement action is allowed as well and this can be substituted for other actions. The game incorporates stealth deployment, allowing units to remain concealed until specific act...

The Overgrown Factory

Buried deep within the jungle and long forgotten by the galaxy, this ruin was once a Separatist droid foundry  - an industrial hub designed to churn out battle droids around the clock during the height of the Clone Wars. Back then, it echoed with the clank of metal feet and the cold hum of assembly lines. Now? It’s quiet , choked by vines and wrapped in rot. But the jungle hasn’t buried it. Not completely. And rumour says there’s still something alive inside . The Wayfinder crew spent hours trudging through suffocating undergrowth , machetes swinging, boots sinking into moss and mud. The air buzzed with heat and insects. It was the kind of place that smelled of rust, rot, and old wars . Finally, the jungle parted and the target emerged -  a skeletal factory , its structure buckling under the weight of time. Concrete walls split with roots , shattered walkways led nowhere, and thick vines strangled what was left of the upper decks. Nature was reclaiming every bolt. But not e...
