Mill Creek, WA – October 26, 2023 – AO International LLC, a dynamic import and distribution company based in Washington State, is making waves in the collectible toy market by bringing the immensely popular Pop Mart blind box series to US consumers. While the trend has been sweeping Asia and Europe for years, AO International is poised to make Pop Mart a household name in the United States. You’ve probably seen them online – those super cute, collectible figures hidden inside mysterious boxes. That’s the magic of Pop Mart! And AO International is now officially the go-to source for snagging these adorable toys right here in the US. What is Pop Mart? Pop Mart is a Chinese toy company that's become a global phenomenon. They're famous for their "blind box" toys – collectible figures packaged in opaque boxes, so you don't know which character you're getting until you open it. It's a bit like a surprise lottery, but instead of money, you win a super-cute collectible! The appeal? It's a combination of the thrill of the unknown, the fun of collecting, and the incredibly detailed, artistic designs. Each series features a range of characters, often with "hidden" or "secret" versions that are super rare and highly sought after. Think of it as the modern take on collecting trading cards, but way cuter.
