Molly: Kenny Wong
Learn more →Before there was Labubu, there was Molly In 2006, at a charity event in Hong Kong, Kenny Wong drew portraits of small children. They all had the identical expression — proud, chubby-cheeked, slightly offended. As if they weren't thrilled with what he'd drawn. That grimace became Molly — a little painter with big green eyes and a signature pout, who arrived at Pop Mart in 2016 and changed everything. Molly didn't just sell in the millions. She created a whole way of operating — themed series, limited editions, artistic collaborations, the blind-box format. Every IP that came after her — Labubu, Skullpanda, Dimoo — uses the template that was worked out with Molly. Today she's celebrating her 20th birthday. Kenny Wong is still creating her.
