Calling all Doraemon fans! The blue robotic cat is back, and this time around, Animation International (M) Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with Paradigm Mall, Petaling Jaya, has created its official pop-up store located at the Upper Ground floor of the Mall, especially for fans from 11 January 2019 until 17 February 2019 at the
mall.
With the overwhelming success of the Doraemon Pop-Up Store held in Johor Bahru, we have decided to bring this excitement back to our capital – Kuala Lumpur, to give all the Malaysian fans and our neighbouring country the opportunity to visit this massive Pop-Up Store, which they would not only be able to take snap shots of 30 life-size Doraemon but will also experience the photo opportunity for your Instagram feeds.
Many different types of merchandise are also sold at the pop-up store, including limited edition merchandise that is not available anywhere else. Entrance to the event is free of charge, and open to the public.
Together with us today, we have Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Haslina Abdul Hamid, the Deputy Secretary General of Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, famous influencers, online celebrities, artists and many more.
Doraemon started as a children’s magazine in 1969. The story revolves around a robotic cat who travels back in time from the 22 nd century to help a helpless, young boy named Nobita Nobi.
A total of 1,345 stories were created in the original series, which are published by Shogakukan. Its has since been a crowd favourite, amongst adults and kids alike.
It has also become an icon internationally, appearing in the 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony, to promote the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
The first ever 100 Doraemon Secret Gadget Expo was held in Kuala Lumpur in 2013, and the event was a huge success as it managed to attract people from neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines to travel to our country and visit the expo.
This time around, besides the 30 live-sized figurines on display, visitors to the event will also get to see variety of Doraemon-inspired merchandise sold at the pop-up store, there will also be other fun-filled activities during the weekends at the Upper Ground floor of the Mall, to cater for both adults and kids, hence there will be something for everyone to enjoy at the expo.
In conjunction with the festival, Paradigm Mall PJ also spread its CNY cheers with 40 children and teenagers, ages 7 to 12 and their caretakers from Yayasan Chow Kit at the mall today.
Aside from the photo-taking opportunities with Doraemon and friends, each child also received a special goodie bag containing limited-edition Doraemon and friends’ stationery supplies, as well as angpows (red packets) from the management of Paradigm Mall PJ.
All guests were also entertained by the lion dance performance at the event.
Apart from the iconic Doraemon’s theme at Paradigm Mall PJ, blossoming flowers will also fill the mall for the memorable Chinese New Year celebrations. Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru (Paradigm Mall JB) and gateway@klia2 will also be flourished with auspicious flowers to usher in lots of good luck, prosperity and positive energy this Chinese New Year.
