From bag charms to shelf figurines, the collecting mania that has long been a characteristic of the nation has even more in store for Filipino collectors, with Pop Mart’s new Mega Space Molly 100% Blooming series.

Inspired by the various flora uniquely associated with certain countries such as tulips for the Netherlands, Sakura for Japan, and maple leaf for Canada, the Blooming series includes a variation for the Philippines’ very own national flower, the Sampaguita. And here’s what makes it so special: as a Philippine-inspired figurine, only Filipinos can acquire it.

Riding a pastel ombré yellow, white, and green spaceship set with a bouncy spring in a white and yellow cloud base, Mega Space Molly Blooming-Sampaguita is ready to launch into your  collection. Dressed in her space suit in the same serene colorway with a visor that you can flip up or down, she also comes with a handheld gun that can be removed, and the option to detach from the spaceship if she’d like to explore on foot by herself.

For Filipino collectors, the Blooming-Sampaguita figurine ticks many boxes that make such an item more valuable—rarity, relevance, and historical significance. Priced at P2,150 and restricted to only one physical purchase and two digital purchases, the statuette’s rarity contributes to the appeal for collectors. Combined with Pop Mart’s current relevance due to the hype surrounding its previous releases such as Labubus, the enticement to partake in the Blooming-Sampaguita collecting is all too strong. And most importantly, the historical significance of the national flower that the figurine takes into account brings back a nostalgia that reflects the traditional fashion of collecting—marked with memory and sentimentality.

Therefore if you are eyeing this item, head on over to Pop Mart at SM Mall of Asia or visit the Pop Mart website to acquire your very own Mega Space Molly 100% Blooming-Sampaguita. Your collection will be sure to thank you for their new friend.
