What is Twinkle Twinkle?
Twinkle Twinkle is a range of blind boxes produced by Pop Mart, featuring a little star with a round face as its heroine, available as figurines and soft toy pendants (one of the most common formats in the range). The idea behind it: a gang of tiny stars who tell each other stories of courage, dreams and love. Quite a programme. 🌟
On the creative side, there’s a bit of a mystery: Pop Mart officially credits ‘Pop Mart’ on its product pages. Collector’s guides, however, attribute the universe to the Chinese illustrators Da Xin and A Li, who conceived it back in 2020 around a lovely idea: a star only shines in the dark.
Twinkle Twinkle series you should know about
Of the 15 series in our catalogue, here are the most notable ones.
Be a Little Star
Clearly the most endearing: a collection of little moments from childhood. Lose a Tooth (the milk tooth), Bad Temper (the big tantrum), Haircut (a trip to the hairdresser’s), Wake Up Sleepyhead (the struggle to wake up), Teeter Totter (the seesaw), Blowing Bubblegum… and Reach for the Stars. It’s also available as a soft toy pendant.
Create Your Taste A & B
The sweet treat version 🍪: the little star transforms into a baguette, a biscuit, peanut butter, lemon, salmon, mustard or chocolate sauce. Two mouth-watering series (A and B) – enough to make a proper afternoon snack.
Crush on You
The ‘Lovers’ series 💗: Blushing Moment, Candy Words, Nerdy Cupid, Till We’re Old, Grow Grey Together… In short, THE series to give as a gift. It also comes in a soft toy version. (Just so you know, you can find it here: Crush on You.)
And also
- Savor the Moment and Live the Ordinary: the sweetness of everyday life.
- Gifts from Stars and We Are.
- Moon Gelato, Sweet Dreams Forecast and Farm Tales soft toys.
A figurine or a soft toy pendant?
Good question, and at Twinkle Twinkle you’re spoilt for choice: several major series have their own soft toy versions. You collect and display the figurine; you wear the pendant (on a bag or your keys) and it goes with you everywhere. A clever combo: start with a soft toy, fall in love with it, then move on to the figurines from the same series. 👜
Where to start your Twinkle Twinkle collection
My favourite is ‘Be a Little Star’: it captures all those little childhood moments that are the very essence of the range. If you’d prefer something to wear, start with a soft toy pendant. And if you’re a snack lover, ‘Create Your Taste’ is made for you. 🍪 (To make sure you’re buying from the right place, have a look at where to buy blind boxes in France.)
