Designer toy enthusiasts and Pixar fans now have a new destination to explore as Pop Mart officially opened the Philippines’ first-ever DIMOO-themed pop-up store at Glorietta in Makati City, bringing the beloved original character into an immersive collaboration with some of Pixar’s most iconic films.
Located on the Ground Floor near the Ayala Avenue entrance, the DIMOO WORLD × PIXAR Pop-Up Store transforms the retail space into a whimsical experience where visitors can shop for exclusive collectibles while stepping into installations inspired by the magical world of DIMOO. The pop-up store will welcome fans until September 23.
The launch was accompanied by a three-day activation at the Palm Drive Activity Area, where guests explored interactive themed zones inspired by Pixar classics including Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., WALL-E, Up, The Incredibles, and Coco. The immersive experience delighted visitors of all ages by bringing together childhood favorites and Pop Mart’s signature collectible art toys in one venue.
Among those spotted during the launch were Kapuso actress Althea Ablan and content creator Christy Tabanyag, popularly known as Miss Deliciousness, who joined fellow fans in exploring the different attractions and collectible displays.
Created by artist Ayan Deng, DIMOO has become one of Pop Mart’s most recognizable original characters, known for his oversized eyes, tiny cloud companion, and imaginative adventures. Over the years, the character has gained a loyal international following through collectible figures, plush toys, lifestyle merchandise, and limited-edition releases that celebrate themes of curiosity, courage, and childlike wonder.
The DIMOO × PIXAR collaboration reimagines the character through beloved Pixar stories, allowing collectors to discover exclusive figures inspired by some of animation’s most memorable characters. Visitors can also browse newly released collections and limited-edition merchandise available only during the pop-up.
The Glorietta opening also marks another milestone for Pop Mart’s expansion in the Philippines. In addition to its existing permanent stores at SM Megamall, SM Aura Premier, and SM North EDSA, the brand has recently brought pop-up experiences to Cebu and Davao, reflecting the growing popularity of designer toys among Filipino collectors.
Adding to the excitement, the Glorietta location serves as a preview of an even bigger development, with Pop Mart set to open its first permanent store in the mall this October. The company also revealed plans to launch more pop-up stores in new locations before the end of the year, giving more fans across the country the opportunity to experience its expanding universe of collectible art toys.
