Take a Nostalgic Journey with POP MART’s Molly at Her First-Ever Anniversary Pop-Up in Singapore

As fans prepare for the return of the POP TOY SHOW (PTS) in Singapore from August 23 to 25, 2024, POP MART is excited to announce another important event that will captivate them: the Molly Anniversary Statues POP-Up Store. This exclusive pop-up event is one of the retail experiences and events that are part of the partnership between the Singapore Tourism Board and CapitaLand.

The partnership aims to drive global awareness of Singapore and CapitaLand malls as must-visit lifestyle destinations, attract international IPs, and deliver novel retail concepts. The pop-up event, which will be held at CapitaLand’s Bugis Junction Level 1 Malay Street from August 27 to September 22, 2024, will provide fans with a distinctive opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the universe of Molly, one of POP MART’s most beloved characters.

Molly – A Beloved Icon of Fans

Molly, a cultural icon, was initially introduced in 2006 by artist Kenny Wong. Molly captures the essence of individuality and creativity with her painter’s headwear, pouty mouth, and large lake-blue eyes. Fans worldwide have been captivated by her ever-changing appearances and endearing, stubborn personality, establishing her as a staple in the collectible art toy industry.

Highlights from the Exclusive Molly Anniversary Statues POP-UP Store

This pop-up store will be the first of its kind in the world and will be themed around Molly’s Anniversary Statues. Visitors will be transported to the whimsical world of Molly through a thematic display that is inspired by the Classical Retro Series 2. Fans can anticipate a diverse selection of exclusive Molly merchandise, including five (5) new Molly items from the series that are exclusively available at the pop-up store, including fragrant candle blind boxes, fridge magnets, and more.

Fans can anticipate the availability of eight (8) exclusive Molly merchandise items exclusively at the POP-UP store. The reproduced limited edition 1st Anniversary statue is one of the highlights and is expected to be a must-have for collectors.

Additionally, Singapore-exclusive Molly-themed gifts, including folders, fans, postcards, and tote bags, will be provided to supporters who meet the minimum spend.

The store will also showcase the evolution of the iconic character Molly, from the first-generation Molly that launched POP MART to other milestone series that have captured the hearts of fans worldwide, such as Molly Zodiac, in addition to the exclusive launches. An archival Molly figure display will also be featured.

Fringe Activities and Photo Opportunities

The Molly Anniversary POP-Up Store will provide numerous photo opportunities for fans to capture and share their affection for Molly. The store will feature two (2) 1.8m and one (1) 1.6m tall life-sized sculptures.

In addition, the store will offer fringe activities that enhance the interactive experience, including Molly Fun Stamping, which offers three distinct Molly stamps for free, and silk-screening sessions with Singapore elements (with a minimal purchase requirements).

According to Jeremy Lee, Go-to-Market Director for Southeast Asia at POP MART International, “Molly has transformed from a beloved character to a timeless icon within the POP MART universe, captivating fans across generations globally.” Our collaboration with CapitaLand has been essential in the realization of this vision, and we have jointly developed another unforgettable experience for the community. This anniversary POP-up is a commemoration of Molly’s legacy, a tribute to the voyage we have shared with our fans, and an invitation for all to participate in this distinctive retail experience, where they will discover exclusive merchandise and activities that resonate with the hearts of Molly fans.
