As the highly anticipated POP TOY SHOW (PTS) returns to Singapore from 23 to 25 August 2024, POP MART is set to delight fans with yet another thrilling event—the Molly Anniversary Statues POP-Up Store.
This exclusive pop-up, located at Bugis Junction’s Level 1 Malay Street, will run from 27 August to 22 September 2024. It promises a unique and immersive experience for fans of Molly, one of POP MART’s most cherished characters.
Molly: The Iconic Art Toy
Since her debut in 2006, Molly, the brainchild of artist Kenny Wong, has become a cultural icon. With her signature big, lake-blue eyes, pouty mouth, and painter’s hat, Molly embodies creativity and individuality. Her whimsical personality and ever-evolving appearances have endeared her to fans across the globe, securing her place in the world of collectable art toys.
A World Of Exclusive Molly Merchandise
The Molly Anniversary Statues POP-Up Store marks a global first, featuring a thematic display inspired by the Classical Retro Series 2. Fans can explore a wide array of exclusive Molly offerings, including five new items such as scented candle blind boxes and fridge magnets, available only at the pop-up. The centrepiece of the event is the limited edition 1st Anniversary statue, a must-have for collectors.
Shoppers will also have the chance to receive Singapore-exclusive Molly-themed gifts, like folders, fans, postcards, and tote bags, with a minimum spend. Additionally, the pop-up will showcase a collection of archival Molly figures, tracing the evolution of this beloved character from her early days to her most iconic series, including the famed Molly Zodiac.
Interactive Experiences And Photo Opportunities
For fans eager to capture memories, the pop-up will feature life-sized sculptures of Molly, including two 1.8-meter and one 1.6-meter tall statue—perfect for snapping and sharing on social media. The event will also offer interactive fringe activities, such as silk-screening sessions (with a minimum purchase) featuring Singaporean elements and Molly Fun Stamping, where fans can collect three different Molly stamps for free.
Jeremy Lee, Go-to-Market Director for Southeast Asia at POP MART International, emphasized the significance of this event, saying, “Molly has evolved from a beloved character into a timeless icon within the POP MART universe, captivating fans across generations globally. This anniversary POP-up is a celebration of Molly’s legacy and an invitation for everyone to immerse themselves in this unique retail experience.”
A Creative Celebration At POP TOY SHOW 2024
Just before the Molly pop-up kicks off, fans can indulge in the artistic extravaganza of the POP TOY SHOW (PTS) from 23 to 25 August at Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
