Our story

POPNOVA was founded in Singapore in 2026 by three friends who kept a growing shelf of designer toys on their studio desk — and kept asking why Southeast Asia had so few original characters of its own. So we started making them.

We design every character in our Ubi studio, prototype with local 3D artists, and produce in small, carefully checked batches with long-term manufacturing partners in Shenzhen. No mass dumping, no endless reprints: when a run sells out, it retires, and the next story begins.

Original first

Every POPNOVA character starts as our own sketch and story. We build worlds fans can grow with, not copies of whatever is trending this month.

Made to last

EN71-tested materials, reinforced stitching on plush, and colourfast paints. Toys are for keeping, so we make them like it.

Community drops

Launch pop-ups, trade nights and a collectors' club with early access. Our fans help vote on colourways for the next series.
