Pop Mart has made its way back to Makati City, this time with a new location at Glorietta Mall.
On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Pop Mart Philippines officially opened the much-anticipated DIMOO World x Disney Pixar Pop-up Store, the country's first DIMOO-themed Pop Mart store.
The pop-up will run until September 23, 2026, at the Ground Floor of Glorietta, near the Ayala Avenue entrance.
Aside from the pop-up store at Glorietta, fans can also visit a separate DIMOO World x Disney Pixar installation at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center.
The immersive exhibit features themed displays and photo opportunities inspired by the collection, allowing collectors and Disney-Pixar fans to take photos with larger-than-life DIMOO x Disney Pixar installations.
DIMOO X DISNEY PIXAR POP-UP: CELEBRITIES SPOTTED
Celebrities and content creators were present during the launch.
Among those spotted by PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) was Althea Ablan, who looked so excited.
During a short chat with PEP, the Kapuso actress revealed how she first got hooked on collectible toys.
She recalled: "Actually, nung nag-trend talaga, sobrang na-hook ako sa Labubu.
"Tapos mayroon pang time na pumunta ako ng Thailand just to get that Labubu na gusto ko."
Meanwhile, content creator Christy Tabanyag, popularly known as Miss Deliciousness, revealed that she only recently began collecting Pop Mart items.
She shared: "Actually, kaka-start ko lang talaga like two months ago or three months ago lang ako nag-start mag-collect ng Pop Mart. And ito yung kuwento talaga...
"So nag-start ako sa mga Cry Babies. Doon ako nag-start talaga. Wala akong ano plano magkolekta. Ang gusto ko lang may pang-ano ako sa bag [na] charm.
"Kasi may binibenta akong bags sa online tapos gusto ko lang may ma-accessory. So bumili ako ng Cry Baby kasi sobrang cute niya.
"And ngayon, may nakita ako ibinebenta sa online, like sa online shop ng Pop Mart. Yung umiilaw, yung may lamp na Cry Baby.
"So nagtanong ako sa seller, 'Is that available?' Sabi niya, 'Ay, sold out na.'
"So nawala na sa isip ko actually. Pero meron akong pinuntahan sa Mega Mall kasi meron akong ine-endorse na brand. Sa tabi lang noon is Pop Mart.
"Tapos sabi ko, 'Ay, okay. Let's give it a try. Baka andun yung hinahanap ko.'
"So pagpasok ko doon, andun nga. So papasok ako sa Pop Mart, doon ko nakita si Royal Molly.
"Tapos doon na nag-start yung journey ko. Nag-collect ako nang nag-collect hanggang ngayon at dami ko nang ina-unbox. In fairness, masaya siya."
Like many collectors, Christy admitted she has also experienced getting duplicate toys from blind boxes.
Instead of keeping them, she gives them away as gifts to friends.
Christy said: "Actually, yung mga dupe ko naman, yung mga duplicate na nakukuha ko, binibigay ko sa mga friends ko para sila rin mabudol."
With blind-box collecting becoming an expensive hobby for some enthusiasts, PEP also asked Christy how she avoids overspending.
According to her, setting aside a separate account specifically for collecting helps her manage her finances.
She explained: "Yes meron akong hiwalay na account... Since meron na tayong bagong luho ngayon, kailangan talaga natin mag-ano pa rin, magtabi ng savings."
For Christy, collecting has also become a source of content that helps fund her hobby.
She said: "Actually, wala akong plano talaga sa i-video or i-content. Kaso na-realize ko, 'Ay collect ko nang collect, ang gastos.'
"So what if i-unbox ko na lang din sa para for content, for the views, of course.
"Baka at least man lang mabili ko na yung mga gusto ko next time using doon sa earnings na nakuha ko sa content. So yun.
"E, ang laki pala ng community ng Pop Mart. So ayon, nung kumikita-kita na ako doon sa mga views na yun, sa mga content na yun, yung earnings naman doon, yun naman yung binili ko ng iba pang set or iba mga unboxing video."
Althea follows a similar strategy, with guidance from her mother.
The actress told PEP: "Kailangan talaga kasi hindi ko mako-control, which is kailangan- e... dapat ikontrol niyo yung ano niyo, pera."
Also spotted by PEP.ph at the event were Kapamilya Chat host Jeremiah Catamio; young content creator Victoria Serrah Tonin (popularly known as Bikbik); and creative director Julius Casalan and makeup artist Paolo Maranan, who are collectively known in the Pop Mart community as Hirono Wins.
