POP MART’s Disney figurines have made this Disney lover the happiest person on earth

I’m a huge fan of Disney.

In fact, Disney has become so synonymous with my identity that if you ask people what is the one thing they remember me for, it is my love for all things Disney.

90s Disney Kid

Despite my penchant for nostalgia, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment when my love for Disney started.

As a 90s kid, I grew up with a healthy dose of “Mulan”, “Aladdin”, “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King” on TV.

When I hit my teen years, however, I hid any liking for “Disney” because it wasn’t exactly the coolest thing back then.

Disney stayed in the shadows for a while as I tried to figure out who I was.

It was only when I rewatched the animated movie “Beauty and the Beast” again at 18 that I came to terms with my love.

I related to Belle as I was that weird girl who hid a book under her table during lessons to read, and craved adventures somewhere outside this “small, provincial town” that was Singapore.

When I went to university, that was when I fully embraced my love for Disney and grew to become a ‘Disney Adult’.

I was finally free to be brave, strong and kind, just like Belle.

Feeding my love through merchandise

As a Disney fan, a great way to express myself was through buying Disney merchandise.

When I was at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Los Angeles in 2019, I picked up my very first Spirit Jersey.

Since then, I have amassed six different Disney Spirit Jerseys:

If I had to name one thing that genuinely fueled my Disney obsession though, it would be POP MART.

POP MART has a wide variety of different Disney figurines with its own unique twist.

While they have the standard Disney Princess figurines in POP MART’s signature style, POP MART has also branched off to include numerous other Disney characters like Mickey and Friends and those from Pixar movies.

In a short span of one year, I had already collected 20 Disney figurines from about 11 different series and counting.

My personal favourites are from the Disney Princess Han Chinese Costume Series and Disney 100th Anniversary Pixar Series.

I mean just look at Beast, looking ever so adorable in traditional Hanfu outfit:

Best part: Unboxing

One of the biggest thrills of buying POP MART merchandise has always been the unboxing.

Blind boxes add an element of mystery and fun when collecting, as the item you get is always a surprise.

Upon finding out that there was a new Disney 100th Anniversary Mickey Ever-Curious Series and that the Disney Classic Fairy Tales Series was back in stock, I immediately grabbed a couple.

There were just so many different designs that I wanted to get from these two collections.

The suspense one gets as you slowly tear open the box and rip the packaging before the unveiling of what you’ve gotten is incomparable.

For the Disney 100th Anniversary Mickey Ever-Curious Series , I really wanted the ghost or snowman version.

When I opened the blind box, it had a little candy cane and gingerbread man, so I knew it would be a good one. And I was right.

The Candy Mickey had the cutest sprinkles on its ears, and its feet covered in chocolate sauce—my favourite from my whole haul.

With that, I added these two new additions to my already extensive collection:
