Anime lovers, mark November 29 on your calendar. There’s a huge surprise landing in Dubai, and you don’t want to miss out. For the very first time in Dubai, an Anime Pop Up is arriving at Wafi City. Are you one of those fans who begged friends to bring back the official merchandise from Japan? Well, this is your moment, finally happening in Dubai. This anime pop-up will host an exclusive collection of officially licensed items in Dubai.
Dubai’s First-Ever Anime Pop Up Lands on November 29
Wafi City already has over 250 stores, but the Anime Pop Up will definitely steal the spotlight. The collectables making their debut in the UAE are Jujutsu Kaisen, Dandadan, Chainsaw Man, The Apothecary Diaries, and Kaiju No. 8.
You’ll find:
- Premium action figures from Jujutsu Kaisen (think Yuji, Gojo, and Geto looking sharp enough to justify a shelf of their own).
- Figural banks from Dandadan that are weird, quirky, and very on-brand.
- Chainsaw Man night lights that might be too cute for a show this chaotic.
- Kaiju No. 8 plush toys that basically scream, “take me home.”
This is the kind of haul you usually only see in Akihabara or Osaka’s pop stores, but now you can access it in Dubai.
The Grand Opening Event Of The Anime Pop-Up In Dubai
UAE’s anime community is all set to have a big launch day on November 29. Expect the pop-up to kick things off with:
- A cosplay catwalk featuring some of Dubai’s most creative cosplayers showing off full-scale anime looks.
- A live Kahoot trivia challenge run by local pop culture groups. It’s perfect if you want to flex your anime knowledge or just enjoy the chaos.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Be it about collecting merch or you just watch anime on lazy weekends, this pop-up is the kind of event you should visit. Nothing gets better than grabbing merch that has never been sold in the UAE, meeting other fans, and experiencing the vibe.
