Scheduled for release in late July 2026, this delightful creation will be available on the official online store of HASHTOPIN, as well as across various stationery and retail locations nationwide.

The star of this collection, XIAO AO, is no ordinary toy. It is inspired by the global ambassador, Chinese actor and artist Wang Yibo, and embodies a journey of self-discovery and adventure. With influences drawn from racing, street culture, and graffiti, the design of XIAO AO represents a spirit of freedom, encouraging individuals to break away from the constraints of societal rules and proceed in their unique rhythm.

XIAO AO is designed as a small wolf cub arriving on Earth from another universe. As it explores its new surroundings, every object transforms into a fresh discovery, emphasizing the limitless nature of the world around it. Each challenge faced by XIAO AO turns into an exciting revelation, reinforcing that predetermined answers or rules cannot halt its adventurous spirit.
