The pop-up activities lure fans to the venue.

Since its launch in 1983, My Little Pony has evolved from an iconic animation series to a beloved multi-category entertainment IP universe among young audiences, encompassing toys, games, licensed consumer products, publications, music, film and television content, digital games and live entertainment.

While winning a strong fan base around the world, it also conveys positive values such as friendship, courage, love and honesty.

During the monthlong pop-up event, an immersive My Little Pony IP kingdom that combines a themed pop-up store, activities, check-in and interactive experiences for visitors will be presented.

The English and Japanese versions of the My Little Pony trading cards were also unveiled for the first time and will hit shelves in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
