Pop Mart to open not one, but two pop-ups in the Philippines

Double the fun in searching for your dream blind box toys


They say that nothing lasts forever, but who’s to say they can’t be better?

By now, Pop Mart fans know that the blind box brand is opening their next pop-up. “We know you loved our first pop-up store, so we’re officially launching in a new location,” in an Instagram post dated January 31, 2025.

Opening details include the location which is at the Third Floor Concourse in SM Makati and date—February 14, 2025.

The post comes with a hint of what to expect—perhaps the latest, and sold out, Crybaby series, “Crying for Love”—phone charm blind box, straw cup, scented candle, air fragrance, plush gift box, and vinyl plush hanging card. They make for the sweetest gifts to give yourself or your loved ones this Valentine’s Day, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that we get to buy any of these on the opening week.

But, hold on, we have more insider information to share. In a chat with Pop Mart PH team, it was revealed that the SM Makati pop-up will carry the Cry Baby theme, and the duration will be from February 14 to April 30, 2025.

And we’re sharing more exciting news that we got from them, The SM Mall of Asia pop-up store will also be reopening soon. And, don’t worry, we will keep you posted as we get more details, because Pop Mart confirmed their expansion in Southeast Asia.

In an earlier interview with Pop Mart Southeast Asia Business Director Jeremy Lee, he shared that one of the reasons why this has been the move is that there are a lot of young people in this region. “Southeast Asia is a growing market. I think there's so much potential here,” he pointed out, stating celebrities such as Lisa of Black Pink who shared her favorite Labubu dolls on social media and, locally, Marian Rivera who attended the opening of their pop-up in Mall of Asia where people are. “It's fun to see that happening (here in this region),” ended Lee.
