GMA-7's Primetime Queen Marian Rivera has expanded her collection from designer items to designer toys.
Embracing her youthful side, Marian posts unboxing videos of these art toys and figurines on her official social media accounts.
Her collection boasts a variety of figures including Molly dolls, Skull Panda figurines, and Labubu characters.
For those who are new to these toys, Molly dolls come from the imaginative mind of artist Kenny Wong.
Skull Panda is the creation of XiongMao, an art toy designer and the Director of North Studio., who introduced the character in 2018.
Meanwhile, Labubu was crafted by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born artist residing in Belgium, in 2015 as part of "The Monsters" story series, which takes inspiration from European fairy tales and Nordic mythology.
All these designer toys are produced by Pop Mart, a Beijing-based toy brand.
During a brief interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) on October 4, 2024, at Smile Train's lighting ceremony at Rizal Park in Manila celebrating their 25th anniversary and #WorldSmileDay, Marian shared that she started her toy collection just a few months ago after receiving one as a gift.
"At first talaga may nagregalo sa akin," she recalled.
"After nung nakatanggap ko yung regalo na yun, nagustuhan ko siya.
"So nagkaroon ako ng interest hanggang sa, ayun na, na-in love na ako. So ayan, nagko-collect na ako ngayon."
When asked if one of the rooms in their house is close to being filled with her new collection, she responded, "Malapit na!"
