Pop Mart has come to Thailand with the opening of its first flagship store spanning 169m² on CentralWorld’s 1st floor. The character-based entertainment company has driven a global “Pop Culture Art Toys” movement.
Iconic characters include Molly, The Monsters, Dimoo, Skullpanda and Crybaby, each created by artists or collaborators.
Born in 2006, the first-generation Molly was depicted as a young artist who wears a painter’s hat and robe. Chinese artist and designer Kenny Wong drew inspiration from the image of a child with a pair of big, lake-green eyes and a pouting mouth for the stubborn yet cute Molly.
Another Hong Kong-born artist, Kasing Lung, launched vinyl figures of The Monsters based on his storybooks following a collaboration with How2Work. Among the numerous monsters, Labubu with long ears and Skeleton Tycoco are his favourites.
