How we source

We maintain a strict chain-of-custody from store to your door.

  • Official retail: POP MART flagship stores, official online shop, licensed partner retailers, and sanctioned events.
  • Sealed product standards: Boxes are factory-sealed unless the listing clearly says “opened for verification” (e.g., grail photo proof).
  • Storage: Dry, climate-controlled shelving; no sun exposure; no pressure stacking.
  • Documentation: Receipts and/or order confirmations archived; available on request for high-value items.

How we price (transparent + stable)

We price to be fair, predictable, and sustainable.

Base formula: Final Price = Drop Cost + Taxes/Import/Payment Fees + Handling & Packaging + Demand Index

  • Drop Cost: Shelf price at time of purchase (AUD-converted).
  • Taxes/Import/Fees: GST/VAT/import duties, payment processor %, currency FX, marketplace fees.
  • Handling & Packaging: Protector cases, bubble wrap, double-boxing, fulfillment time.
  • Demand Index: Recent resale comps, set rarity, character popularity, and restock likelihood.

Why some figures cost more

  • Grails/Chases: Extremely limited; priced off verified comps and scarcity.
  • Discontinued sets: No restock expected → higher collector demand.
  • Region exclusives: Extra sourcing and logistics.

How many are left (live stock meter)

We keep it simple so you can decide quickly:

  • High: 10+ units available
  • Low: 4–9 units
  • Last Few: 1–3 units (moves fast)

Tip: When an item hits Last Few, it’s often gone within the next drop cycle.


Spotting fakes (quick checklist)

Use this 30-second check if you’re ever unsure:

  1. Box print — Colors are clean, no banding; micro-text and lines are crisp at edges.
  2. Seal & seams — Factory seal looks even; no glue waves or reseal wrinkles.
  3. Typography — Fonts and logo spacing match official art; no fuzzy outlines.
  4. Blister tray fit — Figure sits snug; tray plastic feels sturdy, not brittle.
  5. Paint & mold lines — Clean paint borders; mold seams are smooth, not raised/sharp.
  6. Surface/finish — Even matte or gloss; no greasy feel or chemical odor.
  7. Weight/balance — Feels solid; stands as expected; joints (if any) aren’t floppy.
  8. Card & inserts — Card stock is thick, print is sharp; colors match figure.

FAQ (short + honest)

Do you ever open sealed boxes?
Only when a listing says “opened for verification” or for content. Otherwise, sealed.

Do you weigh boxes to find chases?
No predictive weighing for sealed sales. If an item is a known chase/grail, the listing will state the exact figure.

Are protector cases included?
They’re an optional add-on for most listings. High-value figures may include a protector by default (see product page).

Where do you ship from?
From our primary warehouse in China or Australia; we may also ship certain items from a partner warehouse to speed delivery (you’ll see this on checkout if applicable).
