Origin
C35 Lab is an independent design studio that first developed its character Polar independently – in small, limited self-produced series of 30 pieces, hand-finished from resin. The studio operates at the intersection of indie art toys and collaboration with Pop Mart – maintaining the character's unique identity on both sides. Polar is a little monster-girl from the Fantasy Forest: with a horn, a tail, mismatched socks, and magical eyes of different sizes. She's a bit child, a bit ghost, a bit something from a fairy tale no one has written yet.
Who is Polar
A little girl with magic powers hidden in her eyes – each different, each seeing something else. A horn, a tail, mismatched socks. She collects and befriends small, mushroom-like creatures from the forest. Wild, but not dangerous. Mysterious, but warm.
Magic Eyes
Polar's different sized eyes are not a defect – they are the source of her power. Thanks to them, she perceives what others cannot: hidden creatures, paths in the forest, magic in ordinary places. It's her distinguishing feature and the key to her entire world.
Indie → Pop Mart
C35 Lab started with its own limited editions – resin, 30 pieces, each unique. Then came Pop Mart. The studio kept both paths: mass series for Pop Mart and independent, rare figures for truly dedicated collectors.
Character Traits
Polar doesn't fit into one box – she's neither typically cute nor typically dark. She has mismatched socks and her own rules. She lives on the border of the forest and imagination, between what is known and what has no name yet.

Fun Facts
🧦 Socks are not by accident
Polar's mismatched socks are not a design error – they are a deliberate element of the character's identity. They symbolize that Polar doesn't fit into any scheme and has no intention of doing so.
🌿 Mushroom creatures
Polar has her little companions – mushroom-like creatures hidden in the forest. Collecting them and befriending them is her mission. They appear in different variations of figures as hidden details.
💎 30 pieces per edition
C35 Lab's independent figures are released in editions of just 30 pieces. Prices start from 130 USD. This isn't just collecting – it's owning a piece of the studio's history.
🤫 Anonymous studio
C35 Lab intentionally remains in the shadows – the creators are not seeking publicity. Polar speaks for them. This is a rarity in a world where brands fight for visibility – here, only the character matters.
Follow & Discover
Polar has different eyes – and that's why she sees more than others. In the forest, where everyone is looking for a path, she already knows all the inhabitants.
