Need an alternative gift idea for Christmas? Try a blind box that’s perfect for collectors and toy lovers alike. And because the content of each mystery-packed box is always unknown, it adds a dual surprise element for both the giver and receiver.
Here is more about the three freshly launched popular blind box collections you should know about. And the Pop Land Christmas exclusive.
01 - Pop Land Mokoko Twinkly Fairy Tale Vinyl Plush Doll, RMB159
Mokoko celebrates Christmas in style in a festive red-and-white dress. Accessories include a matching bow with pearl detail, as well as a red bow on her temple. It is also worth noting that her brand new get-up is removable, which means you can dress her however you like after Christmas.
This Pop Land (the Pop Mart theme park in Beijing, China) exclusive doll measures 10 cm by 7 cm by 18 cm. She also comes with a matching red ring clasp to hang on your bag or key ring. And as always, Mokoko, which is characterised by her pastel pink fur and white belly comes scented. POP MART
02 - Pop Mart Finding Mokoko Series Figures, SGD15.90 each
Mokoko may be a Pop Land exclusive, but the pink Labubu tribe member now makes an appearance in this new Pop Mart blind box series. You’ll just have to find her, from amongst 11 Pop Mart characters in the collection. You have a 1:10 chance of finding regular figures like Follow The Light (Dimoo), Painter’s Help (Molly), Over There! (Labubu) and Great Discovery (Crybaby).
Of course, it will be more challenging to obtain the rare ‘secret’ item, Heart Maze, a.k.a. Mokoko. With a probability of 1:120, this special Mokoko is styled with iridescent wings. She also holds a heart-shaped maze that contains her signature daisy, a detail that you can move around the maze. POP MART
03 - POP MART Crybaby Crying Again Series – Vinyl Face Plush Blind Box, SGD29.90 each
Everybody cries sometimes. So the next time you do, embrace your emotions with this adorable fluffy companion that is here to support you. Created by Thai artist Molly Yllom, Crybaby now dresses in cute animal or character costumes complete with her signature tears. There are eight Crybabies to collect in all.
There’s a 1:6 chance of finding standard figures: What A Frog, I’ll Bring You A Flower, Love Makes Us Cry, Duck You, I’ll Give You All My Love and She’s Alice. The probability of drawing the two rare ‘secret’ items, Baby Brown and Baby Blonde (who are not dressed), is 1:144. Measuring 13 cm tall, each also comes with a ring clasp for easy accessorising.

04 - Top Toy Sanrio Characters Afternoon Tea Series V2, RMB99 each
Top Toy has launched a second version of their Sanrio plush pendants. Afternoon Tea follows the crowd-favourite V1 Latte Baby series that saw popular Sanrio characters with latte-inspired names that reflect their different colours. In this new collection, the Sanrio stars dress as bears in retro British attire for an elegant afternoon tea session. V2’s plush pendants also have softer fur and more exquisite clothing.
With this blind box format, you have a 1:6 chance of finding each design. They comprise Hello Kitty Coconut Mousse, Pompompurin Caramel Pudding, My Melody Earl Grey Tea, Kuromi Tiramisu, Cinnamonroll Matcha Thousand Layer and Pochacco Gentleman Mocha. There are no secret editions to this series, so you can easily collect them all. TOP TOY
