I am Skullpanda — born in the dark, drawn to the light at the edge of dreams. I live somewhere between the Gothic and the ethereal, where ancient castles meet surreal worlds you've never seen before. I don't fit neatly into anything, and that's exactly the point. Every series I release is a new chapter of a universe only I can see — part of me, part of the darkness, part of something just beyond reach. Xiong Miao brought me into the world in 2018, and together with Pop Mart, we've been building something that can't be contained. If you feel the pull of the shadows and the strange beauty in things others overlook — you already know me.
