Secret figures are the most coveted items in blind box collecting — ultra-rare variants hidden within each series at extremely low pull rates. This guide tells you everything a serious collector needs to know.

Pop Mart Secret Figures: How to Identify and Hunt the Holy Grails

What is a Secret Figure?

Every Pop Mart blind box series includes one or more “secret” figures — variants not shown on the packaging or series lineup. Pull rates are typically 1-in-144 boxes, making them genuinely rare and highly valuable on the secondary market.

How to Identify a Secret Figure

Secret figures are usually distinguished by unique colourways, special materials (glitter, phosphorescent paint, metallic finishes), or a completely different costume compared to the standard lineup.

Pull Rate Data by Series

Standard series: 1 secret per 144 boxes (approx. 0.69% pull rate)
Mega series: secrets are rarer — some reported as low as 1 per 360 pulls
Double secrets: exist in some series — even lower pull rates

Hunting Strategy

The most effective legal strategy is purchasing full display boxes (12 pieces) which guarantees the full standard lineup but not necessarily the secret. Joining group buys with other collectors can help share costs while increasing secret pull chances.

Secondary Market Value

Secrets typically trade at 5x–15x retail immediately after release, with popular secrets appreciating further over time.
