POP MART is announcing the Molly Anniversary Statues POP-Up Store, a significant event for fans of the upcoming POP TOY SHOW in Singapore. The event, a partnership between the Singapore Tourism Board and CapitaLand, will run from 27 August to 22 September 2024 at CapitaLand’s Bugis Junction Level 1 Malay Street. The pop-up event, featuring artists and exclusive collaborations, will be a unique opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the world of Molly, one of POP MART’s most beloved characters. Molly, created by artist Kenny Wong, first appeared in 2006 and has since become a cultural icon, embodying creativity and individuality. The pop-up event will be at CapitaLand’s Bugis Junction Level 1 Malay Street.
This will be Molly’s first-of-its-kind Anniversary Statues-themed pop-up store globally and will transport visitors into the whimsical world of Molly with a thematic display inspired by the Classical Retro Series 2. Fans can look forward to a wide range of exclusive Molly offerings, including five (5) new Molly merchandise from the series available only at the pop-up store, such as scented candle surprise boxes, fridge magnets, and more.
Fans can look forward to eight (8) exclusive Molly merchandise items, available only at the POP-Up store. Among the highlights is the reproduced limited edition 1st Anniversary statue, set to be a must-have for collectors. Fans who make a minimum spend will also receive Singapore-exclusive Molly-themed gifts, such as folders, fans, postcards, and tote bags.
In addition to the exclusive launches, the store will also feature a display of archival Molly figures, showcasing the evolution of this iconic character 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.
For those looking to capture memories, the Molly Anniversary POP-Up Store will offer several photo opportunities with two (2) 1.8m and one (1) 1.6m tall life-sized sculptures perfect for fans to snap and share their love for Molly. Additionally, the store will host fringe activities that add an interactive element to the experience, such as silk-screening sessions (with a minimum purchase) with Singapore elements and Molly Fun Stamping, featuring three different Molly stamps available for free.
Jeremy Lee, Go-to-Market Director, Southeast Asia, POP MART International, said: “Molly has evolved from a beloved character into a timeless icon within the POP MART universe, captivating fans across generations globally. Our partnership with CapitaLand has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life, and together, we’ve created another unforgettable experience for the community. This anniversary POP-up is a celebration of Molly’s legacy, a tribute to the journey we’ve shared with our fans, and an invitation for everyone to immerse themselves in this unique retail experience, discovering exclusive merchandise and activities that speak to the heart of the Molly fans.”

As a significant IP of POP MART, and with the artist’s dedication to promoting Chinese culture, MOLLY will launch a new product line inspired by traditional Chinese culture. This line will feature hanging cards as a medium, collaborating with Chinese-style illustrators to create limited-edition products for global distribution. Artist Kenny Wong draws inspiration from Chinese Kung Fu, specifically Wing Chun, which originated from Yan Wing Chun and was popularised by Ip Man. The model [MOLLY The Rhythm of Kung Fu Wing Chun] is the first in this traditional culture series and will make its global debut at POP TOY SHOW 2024.
