Toy collector POP MART has unveiled its The Monsters Wacky Mart Series Figures that will drop on Fri (13 Jun). Inspired by convenience store snacks, the 13 characters are: Grilled Sausage, Fried Shrimp, Corn, Chips, Cup Noodles, Milk, Canned Sardines, Yakitori (Japanese grilled chicken), Chow Mein (Chinese stir-fried noodles), Sandwich, Salad, Onigiri (Japanese rice ball) and a secret character.
POP MART is a Chinese company that sells collectables, often designer toys. It is known for its blind box format. This allows buyers to buy an item without knowing what they will get until after opening the box. Its range includes original figurines such as Labubu and Pucky.
Labubu is a monster elf in a series called “The Monsters” by artist Kasing Lung. Inspired by Nordic fairy tales, Lung modelled the series’ characters after goblins, fairies and monsters.
On 6 Jun (Fri), POP MART also released a 1-minute 11-second video trailer that starts with 4 humans shopping in a convenience store. They chance upon the 4 food items: Corn, Milk, Fried Shrimp and Onigiri. The video ends with a Labubu mascot escaping from the humans.
The trailer came just 2 days after the company uploaded a carousel teaser revealing the Fried Shrimp character onto its Instagram account. In the background of one of the images, you can see the other food items that inspired the other figurines in the series.
