Blind Box Survival Guide: How to Collect Crybaby Toys Wisely

Blind boxes are fun to open Each box contains one random toy and has a chance of being a secret edition figure. Unfortunately this excitement often leads to impulse buying and massive duplicate collections. Here are some of my tips to ease your financial pains while maintaining blind box fun.

1. Determine a Monthly Limit

Set a limit before buying your first box Pop Mart encourages repeat purchases so set a limit to give yourself room to enjoy your collection and avoid heart ache when each box doesnt contain a new toy.

2. Know What You’re Buying

Almost all Crybaby series contain a common set of designs and one secret from the series The secret designs are almost always more rare than the commons This will help so you are not disappointed when you open a box.

3. Buy Full Cases of Series

If a series contains enough individual designs you like, you can buy sealed boxes to increase your chances of completing the regular set. This method can also be a more logical long term approach than purchasing individual boxes.4. Trade Instead of Over Buying

Having duplicates is part of blind box culture Instead of buying boxes to fix one open character get involved in collector communities to trade. This way, you save money and meet more fans.

5. Don’t Open the Packaging

If you want to prioritize resale value it’s best to leave the box foil bag and character card closed. Limited or discontinued Crybaby figures especially ones that come with the packaging are going to be worth way more in the future.

6. Collect What You Like

The Crybaby trend is moving fast Collect the designs that you emotionally connect to Smart collecting is not about getting everything, it’s about having a collection that feels meaningful and has a purpose.

With the right technique you can stay excited collecting blind boxes and not be overwhelmed. Enjoy the trades you make, and the surprises in the boxes.
