We all have our little obsessions, and for some of us, it's blind boxes – sealed toys where you purchase without knowing which variation you'll get. If you’re a fellow blind box enthusiast or just curious to see the phenomenon for yourself, then head to Singapore’s newest POP MART store at ION Orchard. And this isn’t just another POP MART store – it is the 10th and largest one yet in our city, spanning 262 square metres.
