POP MART was founded by “Wang Ning,” a Chinese entrepreneur, in 2010. It started as a lifestyle store selling Pop Culture products with cute items. However, art toys became so popular that POP MART shifted its focus entirely to selling them, using the blind box strategy inspired by Japan's gacha. This allows buyers to randomly pick which character they will get.

A significant turning point occurred in 2016 when the character “MOLLY,” designed by Hong Kong artist Kenny Wong, became extremely popular. This brought POP MART to global recognition and made it a well-known and beloved brand.

Today, POP MART has branches in over 23 countries worldwide, offering a variety of art toy characters, including Disney, Pixar, Sanrio, and superheroes, as well as new characters from famous artists like Labubu, Crybaby, Dimoo, and Skullpanda. The most popular size is 100%, priced around 300-400 baht, with larger sizes like 400% and 1,000% costing thousands. They are sold as blind boxes, so you don't know which character you will get in the collection, and there are rare secret characters to hunt for as well.
