Interview With Myself

Yes, I am interviewing myself, because who would love me as much as I love myself lol.

1. What inspired you to create POP MART WORLD, and how did your journey with POP MART begin?
I wanted to create an archive in a very specific way I envisioned. While it didn’t turn out exactly as I imagined due to my skill set and platform limitations, it’s close enough—and I’m proud of what I’ve built. As a fan of POP MART characters, this was my way of expressing my love for them. My journey began when I saw a blind box opening on social media. The intricate art and incredible detail captivated me instantly.

2. What is the primary goal of POP MART WORLD, and how does it serve the community of POP MART fans?
The goal of POP MART WORLD is to become a go-to resource for the latest updates and news about POP MART. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m excited to see how it continues to grow and evolve to serve the fan community better.

3. What were the biggest challenges you faced when setting up POP MART WORLD?
Even with some familiarity in website development and design, creating this site was a whole new challenge. I had to learn new processes and skills—and I’m still learning and growing. For instance, I struggled with setting up the “types” filter correctly, but I’ve learned to accept those imperfections and move forward. Progress, after all, doesn’t have to mean perfection.

4. How has the fan community responded to POP MART WORLD, and what has been the most rewarding feedback you’ve received?
I haven’t received direct feedback yet, but I’m grateful for every visit, interaction, and bit of support. I launched POP MART WORLD in 2024, and seeing its steady growth since then has been incredibly rewarding.

5. Which POP MART series or character resonates with you the most, and why?
Skullpanda resonates with me the most! The level of detail, unique style, and overall aesthetic align perfectly with my personal taste.

6. How do you envision POP MART evolving as a brand in the coming years, and what role do fans like you play in that evolution?
I see POP MART continuing its international growth and reaching even broader audiences. As an English-language site, I hope POP MART WORLD can play a part in spreading awareness about the brand and its amazing characters to new fans worldwide.

7. What advice would you give to someone looking to safely and easily buy POP MART figurines online?
Always buy from trusted sites. Compare photos online with official ones to ensure authenticity, and check for packaging details like the card and receipt. While it’s not foolproof, being cautious can help avoid counterfeit products.

8. Are there any memorable stories of collectors or fans you’ve connected with through your website?
One touching moment was when a grandfather reached out to identify a figurine that had been lost in the mail for his granddaughter. It was heartwarming to see how these collectibles connect people across generations.

9. If you could give one message to POP MART fans and potential collectors, what would it be?
Collect what you love and what resonates with you. Don’t feel pressured to chase trends or hype—your collection should reflect your personal passion.

10. How can fans and the community support the continued success of POP MART WORLD?
The site runs on ads, so disabling ad blockers while browsing would be a big help. I understand ads can be intrusive, but rising operational costs make this support vital. Visiting, sharing, and recommending the site are also fantastic ways to support. In the future, I might explore affiliate links to help sustain the site financially. Webflow’s increasing costs have been a bit nerve-wracking, but I’m determined to keep this project alive for as long as possible. It’s been one of the most fulfilling endeavors I’ve ever worked on.
