VALORANT is getting a POP MART collaboration, with the collectible company teasing the crossover on 14 September and saying more is coming soon. For now, POP MART has not revealed a release date, price, product format, regional availability or which VALORANT agents will be included.

The timing gives the teaser an extra wrinkle. VALORANT Champions Shanghai starts on 24 September, just 10 days after the announcement, but neither POP MART nor Riot Games has connected the collaboration to the world championship or announced a reveal there.

POP MART Has Not Confirmed Blind Boxes Yet

POP MART used the #arttoy tag alongside its VALORANT teaser, strongly suggesting physical collectibles are involved. The company has not said whether the collaboration will use its familiar blind box format, however, and unofficial agent images circulating on social media should not be treated as confirmed products.

VALORANT already has character figures through the Riot Games Store. The Alpha Collection includes agents such as Reyna, Jett, Sage, Cypher and Killjoy, with the US store listing those figures at US$34.99. A POP MART release would therefore add another style of VALORANT collectible rather than marking the game’s first move into physical character figures.

POP MART Has Worked With League Characters Since 2023

The strongest clue about what the VALORANT collaboration could look like comes from POP MART’s existing work with League of Legends characters. That history stretches back at least to 2023, earlier than the 2025 Arcane collection.

Fight For the Golden Spatula Chibi Series Figures29 November 202412 non-repeating blind boxes, with a possible secret figure
League of Legends: Arcane Series Figures25 April 2025Nine non-repeating blind boxes, with possible secret figures

Blind boxes are therefore a reasonable possibility for VALORANT, especially when POP MART has repeatedly used that format for League-related character collections. It is still only a precedent, not confirmation of how the new collaboration will be sold.

New Zealand Already Has a POP MART Gaming Precedent

There is also a useful local precedent. POP MART operates an official New Zealand storefront, and its Fight For the Golden Spatula Chibi Series Figures II POP NOW page lists individual picks at NZ$23 with local express delivery. The page says local express orders ship from a Sydney warehouse.

That does not confirm that the VALORANT collaboration will reach New Zealand, or that it would use the same price. It does show that POP MART already has an official regional sales route for a League-linked gaming collection rather than relying only on overseas resellers.

Champions Shanghai Is the Next Date to Watch

Riot’s official Champions Shanghai information confirms that the 16-team world championship runs from 24 September to 18 October. With POP MART’s teaser arriving shortly before the event, Shanghai is a reasonable place to watch for another announcement, but there is currently no official tie-in between the collection and the tournament.

POP MART still needs to reveal the actual products, agent lineup, pricing, release date and regions before players know whether the VALORANT x POP MART collaboration is a blind box series, another type of art toy, or a broader merchandise range.
