Pop Mart App Crash Strikes Again: Crybaby Plush Chaos & What’s Next for Baby Molly
Pop Mart app crash + Crybaby plush pendant = collector meltdown, instant sell-out, and soaring Pop Mart resale issues. Baby Molly’s turn is next—brace yourself.
What Happened During This Week’s Drop?
Today’s “Bikini Bottom Buddies” release was supposed to be a splashy celebration. Instead, collectors watched the Pop Mart app do its now-familiar belly-flop:
6:58 p.m. PST — Carts loaded, thumbs poised.
7:00 p.m. on the dot — This week’s releases drop—including the new and super desired Crybaby plush pendant. But: white-screen purgatory. A blinking “RELOAD” taunt appears for some, a total freeze for others.
7:01 p.m. — Reddit lights up: “Still blank with an X,” “Bots overran the site,” “I just wanted a dang fish.”
7:03 p.m. — Sets already show “SOLD OUT.” Cue the rage-emoji chorus.
For regular collectors, the pattern is predictable: every Thursday night drop, the servers wilt, humans get shut out, and resale listings sprout faster than you can say “Twinkle Twinkle.” Tonight’s casualty list includes app loyalists who’ve weathered weeks of crashes.
Why Does Pop Mart Keep Crashing?
Summary: Recurring traffic spikes overwhelm servers, and Pop Mart’s silence isn’t helping.
Repeat Offender: Every Thursday night drop sees identical timing, identical failure.
Copy-Paste Excuse: The official line—“unexpectedly high traffic”—hasn’t changed in months.
Lack of Transparency: No status page, no queue, no tech roadmap.
Quantified Pain: Hour-long outages, “crash” App Store reviews, weekly Reddit autopsies.
Until Pop Mart invests in server scaling or a fair virtual queue, the crash cycle will keep feeding the secondary market.
