POPMART Trivia: The original intention behind the design of Molly’s wooden face

Molly's wooden face was originally designed to imitate the features of a little girl, which is a secret that most people won't tell you. Molly's big eyes and large pupils take up most of her head. Her eyes seem empty and unconnected, but they can attract people's deep attention. When building Molly's well-known image, the designers asked her face to display a variety of expressions, so her face remained neutral, allowing people to project their own emotions onto her face.

Compared with her identity as a painter, Molly does not set the story background or other character relationships. This makes it easier for fans who like Molly to unconsciously invest their emotions in it, and this lack of story background helps balance consumer acceptance. A blind box player once said that purchasing other figures may require watching related animations or movies in order to communicate with other collectors, but this is not required for the love of Molly.

Molly is a proud and talented little painter, created by a famous designer in Hong Kong. While participating in a fund-raising event, the designer was deeply attracted by a little girl who was painting with him. Her pouting mouth and distant eyes left a deep impression on the designer. Later, this little girl became the creative blueprint for Molly, and the new version of Molly was closer to a real person.

Molly’s image helped the development of Bubble Mart and even helped it enter the blind box market. After all, who could resist such a cute Molly? If you want to know about other IPs, please leave a message in the comment area, and we will continue to introduce them in the next issue.
