Here’s a list of six  absolute must-haves that you can get at the POP MART pop-up store at SM:

  • Labubu 

You’ve probably seen Marian Rivera and Heart Evangelista showing off these fluffy elves that have captured everyone’s hearts.

  • Space Molly Here’s a character that embodies the modern-day explorer’s adventurous spirit. Based on the Molly character series, this fan favorite usually has a space-themed design. Think starry patterns, astronaut suits, and planetary themes, all in a futuristic but fun series.

  • Hirono 

If there’s a reason why Hirono is so well loved by fans, it’s because he mirrors just about all the emotions that humans feel – love, joy, sadness, fear, kindness, cowardice and more. Created by Chinese artist Lang, who  explores the emotional ebbs and flows of everyday life, you’d want to have Hirono to remind you of the highs and lows of life.

  • CryBaby 

How can you resist CryBaby?  This figure embraces vulnerability, letting tears flow in response to the highs and lows of daily life, in cute figurines, phone cases, earphones, and what have you. If you love the PowerPuff girls, the CryBaby x Powerpuff series is definitely worth getting.

  • Skull panda 

Cute and spooky, Skull Panda is another must-buy. As a universal symbiont, it travels freely between planets, plays different roles, and experiences different lives. If you want something edgy in your collectibles, it should be Skull Panda!

Here’s a fun tip: For an added thrill, get yourself one of the blind boxes. POP MART’s blind boxes are mystery packages that contain collectibles from a themed series. Some of them even include rare “secret” items! Re-experience your joy as a child as you opened a surprise gift. If you can’t choose from all the collectibles at the POP MART pop-up store, then let fate choose for you. 

What’s more, there is no pre-registration required, making it so much easier to access the store. Just get a  flash pass at the pop-up Store, which will designate a specific time for you to return and shop. No need to waste precious hours standing in line—just show up at the designated time and dive into the collection!

Whether you’re new to the collectibles craze or a long-time collector, the POP MART pop-up store at SM makes it so much easier for you to experience the joy that these characters bring.  That’s because SM is committed to bringing first-in-market experiences to delight Filipino consumers.

Dive into the world of POP MART collectibles and get your fill of anik-aniks at Level 2, North Entertainment, SM Mall of Asia, where shopping and fun always go hand in hand.
