What does Featured, Original, and Collaboration, etc mean?
Disclaimer: Some of these are my own terminology. Featured - SKULLPANDA is not the main character of the collection and there are multiple other characters within it. Original - SKULLPANDA is the main character. Collaboration - An external partner worked on the design. Series - There is roughly more than 5 figurines in the collection. Set - Less than 5 Figurines in the collection. Exclusive - There are restrictions on where it was available. Limited - A small limited quantity of the figurines. One off - Only one was created. OOTD - Outfit of the Day. MEGA - Denotes a large size version of the figurine.
Where can I buy, swap, or sell figurines?
There are plenty of Facebook Groups, Forums, and third party sites such as Amazon, Ebay, and Depop where you can buy, swap, or sell.
Why do you use *Mixed Brands* instead of the actual character/brand in the collection/archive?
The main issue is the limitations and speed of WebFlow. Their CMS feature lets me create a database, but it has a restriction of 5 references, which isn't enough for some series. There is a workaround, but it significantly slows down load times, which is not ideal. If WebFlow upgrades and improves their platform, I will revisit and adjust this. For now, it will remain as Mixed Brands. However, I have included the brands in the description, which is searchable.
Why don't you do Disney, Harry Potter, DC, or other major IPs that has collaborated with POPMART?
Although I'd love to, I don't have the capacity to host them all. Additionally, I want to avoid any legal issues, as companies like Disney are quite proactive with takedowns. My focus is mainly on brands featured by POP MART, such as the POP BEAN series or other featured series. These brands typically have a good relationship with POP MART and are more independent.
