The Labubu fever is here and it seems that it's not leaving any time soon, especially for some of our favorite celebrities. But, get this: it's not only POPMART's Labubu series that piqued everyone's interest. There are lots of POPMART anik-anik, or in official terms, POPMART blind boxes offered these days and we've all gone gaga over them.
These so-called blind boxes initially meant that when you purchase them you won't know which character you'll get until you open the box. So, until you get your desired character, there's a high chance that you'll keep buying it—unconsciously curating your own collection!
But aside from being super trendy, it was a number of celebrities that got us really hooked on the trend. With these celebs' growing collection, our attention on these anik-anik items is intensifying.
7 Filipino Celebrities Who Love Collecting POPMART Toys
1. Marian Rivera
Marian Rivera isn't just collecting acting awards. Apparently, she's been busy collecting POPMART's Molly 1000%! She's healing her inner child with the cutesy collection that costs at least P50,000 per character. Based on the photos she shared on Instagram, Marian has a rare Molly 1000% Van Gogh Museum Almond Blossom. Its base price? P51,000 according to the official POPMART website. She even has the Mega 400% version of the Molly Van Gogh (it's a smaller size than the 1000%). On October 21, Marian also shared her ultimate favorite piece, the POPMART Mega Just Dimoo 1000% collab with Jean-Michel Basquiat.
2. Vice Ganda
Another celebrity who's been obsessed with POPMART, specifically the Labubu series, is the TV host and comedienne Vice Ganda. She even dedicated one whole vlog episode showcasing her Labubu haul. She revealed at least 35 Labubu items—from the keyrings up to the Mega Labubu 1000% series.
For Vice, it's not just a collection or her recent budol, it's her current source of happiness. "Ito po 'yung mga bagong dumadagdag sa kaligayahan ng buhay ko...sana naaliw po kayo na pinakilala po sila sa inyo," she remarked in her vlog.
3. Jed Madela
We think it's safe to say that before the whole POPMART craze this year, singer Jed Madela was already at the start of the long line of celebrity collectors. Well, one look at his official YouTube channel and you'll see how Jed has been vlogging—and seriously, we might add—about his POPMART hauls.
He's not just into the Labubu series, he also has other stuff like Hacipupu, Hatsune Miku, and more! He's done lots of vlogs about it since 2023. Here's one of his latest vlogs about Labubu's "Exciting Macaron" series:
4. Nadine Samonte
Nadine Samonte has a rich collection of POPMART collectibles already. It may not seem like it but recently, Nadine surprised everyone with how dedicated she was in collecting various POPMART series. One of her favorites to collect is the Molly collection, like Marian.
5. Heart Evangelista
Well, we all know that Heart Evangelista never goes out of style no matter what. The fashion icon also hopped into the Labubu trend with so much enthusiasm. During an official event in Thailand, Heart and her whole team took their time to purchase Labubu stuff, and they went big. They all purchased Labubu bag charms and now they can't let it go.
6. Kim Chiu
Another celebrity bag charm addict is Kim Chiu. The House of Little Bunny Philippines' owner knew how to flaunt her bag filled with Labubu charms! Kim's in it for sure, just like her It's Showtime co-host, Vice.
7. BINI Maloi
BINI Maloi has been endorsing the anik-anik life through her sense of style and nothing's going to change that. Did you know that she also shared one ASMR video of a Sonny Angel unboxing—yeah, we know it's not POPMART—but it's a staple for anik-anik girlies.
In another TikTok video as well, Maloi herself uploaded a clip of her solidifying her collection-loving persona. In the clip, Maloi was showing off her various bag charms, keyrings, everything dangling in her bag. She captioned her post with, "will always and forever be an anik-anik girlie."
