IVAR OLAI NORDVIK
Briefly explained: POP NOW is POP MART's official system where you - when the feature is available - can access a confirmed variant , while the box is still delivered factory sealed .
Blind boxes are part of the charm of POP MART: you buy a sealed box and hope for your favorite. But for many collectors, it's not about the excitement - it's about getting the exact figure on their wish list.
This is where POP NOW comes in.
Through POP MART's POP NOW system, we as a Norwegian supplier have the opportunity to offer figures in factory-sealed boxes directly from the manufacturer , where the customer can choose the exact variant when the system is available . This provides a more predictable purchasing experience for those of you who want a specific figure - without the blind box element.
We have delivered over 3,200 orders to collectors all over Norway. This gives us experience – both with new drops, popular series and launches that can sell out in minutes. When you buy POP MART in Norway, it's not just about the figure – but about the security surrounding the purchase .
What is POP NOW?
POP NOW is POP MART's official solution where the content can be confirmed via the system before the item is shipped, when the feature is available on selected series. For collectors, it means an easier path to the desired figure - without relying on luck or multiple purchases.
Blind box vs. POP NOW (the difference in practice)
- Blind box (classic): You don't know what's inside.
- POP NOW (when available): You can have the variant confirmed via the system.
This is especially relevant for collectors who:
- Hunting for one specific figure
- Want to avoid buying multiple boxes to “hit it right”
- Collecting a series and missing one variant to complete the set
Why POP NOW is a big deal for collectors
1) More predictable purchasing
If you have a clear favorite in a series, it's frustrating to gamble with multiple boxes. POP NOW makes it possible to buy more targetedly - when the system is open.
2) Less risk of wrong purchase
You won't be left with variants you don't want, or having to trade/sell to get closer to your wish list.
3) Perfect for gifts
If you are going to give a POP MART figure to someone who has a clear favorite, the confirmed variant is often the safest choice.

We order directly from POP NOW, POP MART's official online platform in Asia. No middlemen. No unauthorized sellers - only authentic products, straight from the source.
For you, that means:
- Goods from official channel

Factory sealed boxes – never opened
An important part of the collector's market is trust. That's why this is central to us:
- Factory sealed mystery boxes (never opened)
- Official hologram + QR code for verification
- Yellow POP NOW label identifying genuine POP NOW product
We also clearly distinguish between:
- Mystery box variants (from complete, whole sets)
- Color/variant confirmed variants (retrieved via the POP NOW system)
This way you know what you are buying – and why.
When is POP NOW available?
POP NOW is not always open on all series. Availability varies, and new drops can sell out very quickly.
Our experience from over 3,200 orders is that it pays to:
- Keep track of drops and launch windows
- Be there early when it opens.
- Have a plan for which series/variant you want
We facilitate this by informing as best we can when we see that POP NOW is available on relevant series.
Ready to secure the right variant?
If you collect series like SKULLPANDA (or other popular POP MART lines), you know how quickly things can disappear. POP NOW is made for those of you who want less randomness and more accuracy – when the system is open.
See available POP NOW products and stay tuned for new drops as they arrive.
