Vinyl figure collectors had plenty to chase at POP TOY SHOW Singapore 2026. The standout was Lil’ Shit POPaganda, a 7-inch sculpture by Matt Gondek and Ron English limited to only 100 pieces and sold first-come, first-served.
The Headline Collaboration
Gondek’s deconstructed pop art meets English’s POPaganda aesthetic in a piece that merges street art, sculpture and satire. With a two-per-customer daily limit, the drop rewarded early arrivals and Fun Pass holders who entered the hall before general admission.
Other Notable Vinyl and Sofubi Releases
PEARLYN, a 15cm sofubi by benny_scong in the “Yellow Yellow Golden Fellows” line, was limited to 30 pieces. PEARLYN was linked to GOLD FISH BALLS blind box purchases, creating a tiered rarity structure. Other regional exclusives included Kongandri x Ericnoah’s Owange Boy (70 pieces) and Mechasoul figures.
Why Vinyl Exclusives Define Convention Culture
Limited vinyl drops create urgency, generate resale premiums and give artists a direct relationship with collectors. These pieces often become the most photographed and discussed items from any show, amplifying the event’s reach on social media.
The BaiChaoHui Angle
