Introduction: When Cute Meets Catharsis
A limited-edition Pop Mart Crybaby figure sold for $2,350 in 2023 – not for rarity alone, but for its uncanny ability to mirror collectors’ emotions through glassy resin tears. Designed by artist Pucky, this melancholic series has driven $1.8 billion in sales since 2020, proving Pop Mart’s mastery of emotional storytelling. As demand surges for therapeutic collectibles, Yiwu Jet Import & Export Co., Ltd. empowers brands to create their own crying character lines with full customization and Alcanmedro compliance for Western markets.
