Ahead of the Halloween season, Labubu maker Pop Mart launched a new blind box series for horror film fans, the Chucky Franchise Series, featuring the frightfully infamous doll from Child’s Play and his friends. Each package styled like a toy box contains one surprise figure, such as Good Guy Chucky, Phantom Chucky, or supporting characters like Tiffany from the Chucky TV series.
The collectible craze is booming as kidults chase the dopamine rush of opening a blind box, not knowing what's inside, blending nostalgia with the thrill of surprise. This new wave of collecting turns pop culture figurines into playful, limited-edition pieces that are more than just toys.
The highly anticipated Chucky Franchise Series goes online via Pop Mart’s US shop first, then hits stores on September 12th.
