If you’ve been living under a rock, Pop Mart is the brand behind popular collectible figurines that come in blind boxes. They’re so-called as you won’t know what figurine you’re getting until you open the box. Pop Mart works with various artists and designers to create popular characters such as Molly, Dimoo, and Skullpanda, which are then sold as collections of figurines.
Labubu is another Pop Mart character that has skyrocketed in popularity in the past couple of months. It’s a monster-like character with sharp teeth and a fuzzy coat. Blackpink’s Lisa was seen sporting one of these furry dolls as a bag charm, which led to a frenzied search for these dolls by other collectors.
One of the joys of collecting Pop Mart is pulling a full collection of figurines, including chaser secret figurines, and displaying them in your home. The best way to do it is to buy acrylic boxes so that your figurines won’t collect dust. There are even specialised display cases for Labubu and Dimoo that can be used to display your figurines’ accompanying accessories too.

Of course, we have to mention Pop Mart Singapore, which has 6 outlets across the island. It originally had its flagship at Funan but they’ve since opened up an even bigger store at ION Orchard. Pop Mart ION Orchard doesn’t just sell coveted blind boxes, it even has decorated photo-taking zones, just in case you’ve ever wanted to step into the world of your favourite Pop Mart character.
Here’s where you’ll be able to pick up your faves like Molly and Dimoo blind boxes. They also sell POP Bean mini figurines, which are about the size of your thumb, if you’re running out of space to display all your Pop Mart figurines.
Repeat visits will be necessary if you want to get your hands on limited edition and exclusive pieces as well. The recent LABUBU HIDE AND SEEK IN SINGAPORE Series, which saw the furry elf dressed up in a Merlion costume, is said to have sold out within days of its launch.

A typical ActionCity storefront, usually flanked by an intriguing display of collectibles, beckons curious passers by to wander in. Step in and you’re in a mecca for serious collectors. With 8 stores across Singapore, it’s not hard to see why.
