Memories compress our lives, but noop remembers it all,

distant hours like vanilla, rising into a smoother life.

Those better days are over now, but They still echo in the night.

THIS IS JUST A MEMORY

The beach is far away now, but noop can't stop thinking about that summer afternoon, the last time he was truly happy.

As he goes on a voyage to the sea with his three new friends—the only friends he has ever known—he can feel his loneliness melting away.

The happiness may be gone now, but that afternoon is always there for him as a memory when he needs it most. The better days we've been searching for have been inside us all along.

MEET THE CREW

Designed and produced in collaboration with Pop Mart, Better Days follows five new friends on a day they will remember forever:

NOOP, a lonely creature on a quest for friendship.
PAW!, a brutish monkeyrabbit with a soft heart.
BLÜP, a shy seahorse who only shows his face in the ocean's darkest depths.
SUN, a fallen ray of sunshine desperate for fun after a lifetime of boredom in the sky.
NISM, a lost tentacle in search of the body he was once attached to.

One of our most intricate sculptures to date, Better Days stands 13.5" tall and each full set features:
– 4 separate vinyl sculptures
– Magnetic strings for your caravan
– Option to display floats separately or together to build a dreamy beach parade.

Limited to 199 pieces, Vanilla Rising is the final edition and your last chance to join this procession into the past.

SET 1 - Paw! and nism

paw!'s seahorses bubble up into the air and lead the way while Nism follows dutifully behind, hoping to find his way back to the waters where he is from. He can still remember what it was like to somersault in its salty currents beneath the rare pink whales. It's just a little further, and soon he will be home.

SET 2 - noop and sun

Sun and noop venture off on a fish and an inflatable chair. All his life Sun has watched other creatures lie in the sand to enjoy his light, and now he will finally do the same. The sun above doesn't shine as brightly now that one of its rays is on the ground, but noop's frond still shimmers in his light.
