Move aside, Labubus. It’s all about Crybaby now. Created by Thai artist Molly Yllom, the popular Pop Mart blind box figurines are best known for their signature puffy eyes and have even gained fans among celebs like Blackpink’s Lisa, Jolin Tsai and Bretman Rock. Now, these dolls are making a splash at the Singapore Oceanarium as part of its latest Cry Me An Ocean collection, which reimagines them as adorable marine animals.
There are 11 themed photo spots throughout the oceanarium, where each marine-inspired Crybaby is displayed next to the sea creature that inspired its design. As you explore the exhibits, spot everything from Crybaby versions of a jellyfish, manta ray and even a shark. Among these life-sized sculptures are also two 5-metre-tall outdoor inflatables of the Anglerfish Crybaby and Pufferfish Crybaby. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the giant Whaleshark Crybaby installation for another Insta-worthy moment.
To add on to the fanfare, there’s also a pop-up store at Resorts World Sentosa Weave where you can get your hands on the Cry Me an Ocean series and other Crybaby merchandise. We hear there are also exclusive Crybaby eyemasks available, while stocks last.
