LABUBU fans and POP MART collectors have another interesting gadget to add to their wish lists. POP MART is introducing the THE MONSTERS Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld, a pocket-sized electronic toy that combines café management gameplay, collectible characters, photo-taking features and multiplayer mini-games in one adorable device. If the usual LABUBU plush toys and collectible figures are not enough to satisfy your love for THE MONSTERS, this new release offers something a little different to explore.

Instead of simply displaying another collectible on a shelf, owners can interact with their favourite characters through a small gaming screen. The device brings together the nostalgic appeal of classic handheld games and the playful world of POP MART, making it an interesting option for collectors who enjoy gadgets as much as designer toys.

For fans in Singapore, however, there is one important detail to remember. As of 21 October 2026, the local launch date, Singapore retail price and availability have yet to be verified. POP MART’s official US product page lists an online release on 23 October 2026 at US$49.99, but this is an overseas price and should not be treated as the confirmed price in Singapore.

Singapore collectors can follow Money Digest’s Facebook page for more updates on the local launch, pricing and availability as further details are announced.

Run Your Own Little MONSTERS Café

One of the biggest attractions of the THE MONSTERS Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld is its café-themed gameplay. Rather than being a basic electronic toy with a few repetitive activities, the game gives players a small virtual business to manage, complete with ingredients, recipes, customers and familiar characters from the MONSTERS universe.

The story centres on PIPPO’s forest drink shop, where LABUBU and other MONSTERS characters help prepare and serve drinks. Players can gather ingredients, discover drink recipes and sell their creations to earn in-game coins. These rewards can then help unlock additional characters and provide more opportunities to develop the café.

There is something enjoyable about having a little virtual shop to look after whenever there is spare time. Whether you are taking a short break during the day or looking for a relaxing activity while travelling, the handheld offers a light-hearted gaming experience without requiring a large console or a complicated setup.

Personalisation is another appealing feature. Players can dress up their café companion and decorate the shop to create a space that reflects their preferred style. Staff members also have different moods, meaning owners can interact with them and help cheer up a tired team member between orders.

For LABUBU fans, the chance to see these characters in an interactive setting could be one of the strongest reasons to consider the device. Instead of collecting characters solely for their appearance, players can enjoy them as part of a little digital world that develops through gameplay.

A Handheld Gadget with a Built-in Camera

The café game is only part of the experience. The device also includes a built-in camera, allowing owners to take photos and decorate their pictures with stickers.

This feature adds a creative element to the handheld. Collectors can experiment with different photos, add playful decorations and create images that match the colourful aesthetic associated with POP MART’s characters. It is a welcome extra for people who enjoy personalising their belongings and sharing pictures of their collections.

Photos and screenshots can also be exported using a USB Type-C cable. This gives owners a way to transfer their creations beyond the handheld instead of keeping everything on its small screen.

For collectors who enjoy documenting their latest purchases, displaying their favourite characters online or creating themed pictures, the camera could make the gadget more useful than a conventional mini-game device.

Of course, the camera should be viewed as an additional entertainment feature rather than a replacement for a dedicated digital camera or smartphone. Its appeal lies in the combination of photography, stickers and character-themed fun within one compact collectible.

Challenge Friends with Multiplayer Mini-Games

Another reason the Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld could appeal to collectors is its multiplayer functionality. Owners with another compatible device can bring their handhelds together to play games such as Card Match and Rock Paper Scissors.

These familiar mini-games offer a simple way to enjoy the gadget with friends. Instead of everyone playing independently, owners can challenge one another and earn rewards through their interactions.

This could be particularly enjoyable for friends who collect POP MART merchandise together, siblings who share an interest in cute electronic toys or couples who enjoy exchanging small collectibles and trying new gadgets.

The multiplayer activities also add variety to the experience. After spending time managing the café, decorating the shop or taking photos, players can switch to a quick challenge without needing to leave the device behind.

The precise connection requirements and compatibility details should be checked against the official product information before purchasing. Nevertheless, the inclusion of these mini-games gives the handheld another reason to stand out from a standard character-themed collectible.

Does It Feel Like a Modern Tamagotchi?

If the screen and character interactions remind you of Tamagotchi, you are certainly not alone. The idea of carrying a tiny digital world around and checking in on its characters has a nostalgic appeal, particularly for anyone who grew up with electronic toys.

However, the Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld has a different focus from a traditional virtual pet. Its main activities revolve around running a café, collecting ingredients, preparing drinks, unlocking characters and playing mini-games.

That distinction is worth considering before making a purchase. Anyone hoping for a dedicated pet-raising experience may want to understand the gameplay first, while fans who enjoy casual management games and character collecting could find the combination more appealing.

Its compact format is another advantage. The handheld is designed to be carried around, making it a possible companion for journeys, waiting periods or quiet moments when a quick gaming session sounds more appealing than scrolling through a phone.

The Secret MOKOKO-Inspired Edition Is a Collector’s Highlight

For collectors who love special colourways, there is another detail that makes this release particularly interesting: a pink MOKOKO-inspired secret edition.

The line-up features a regular yellow-and-brown NUT design alongside PEACH, the Secret Edition. While the regular version has a more traditional colour combination, the secret design takes a sweeter approach with a pink casing, pastel blue buttons and distinctive pointy ears.

POP MART’s promotional images also show the handhelds clipped onto bags, suggesting that the device can double as a playful accessory. For collectors who enjoy carrying character merchandise outside the home, this could be an appealing way to combine their interest in gadgets with their everyday style.

The secret edition is likely to attract particular attention from fans who enjoy hunting for rarer designs. However, there is an important catch: the pink PEACH Secret Edition is not guaranteed. It is a secret pull, so buyers should not assume they will receive that colourway when purchasing the product.

This uncertainty is part of the familiar blind-box collecting experience, but it is also a reason to set a sensible budget. If you are mainly interested in the gaming functions, consider whether the regular design would satisfy you before spending extra money in pursuit of a secret version.

Collectors who prefer a particular colour should also check the official purchase terms and available product options before ordering, rather than assuming that individual designs can be selected.

When Is It Launching, and How Much Does It Cost?

According to POP MART’s official US product page, the THE MONSTERS Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld is listed for an online release on 23 October 2026, with a US storefront price of US$49.99.

This gives Singapore fans an overseas reference point when assessing the potential cost, but it does not establish the local retail price. Currency conversion alone is not enough to determine the final Singapore price, as local retail pricing, shipping, taxes and other charges may affect the amount buyers ultimately pay.

The product is listed for ages 15 and above, so it is worth checking the age guidance before buying it as a gift.

As of 21 October 2026, Singapore’s launch date, local price and confirmed retail availability remain unverified. Anyone planning to purchase the device should wait for reliable local information before making travel arrangements or committing to an overseas order.

Why Should Singapore LABUBU Fans Keep This Gadget on Their Wish List?

The THE MONSTERS Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld is interesting because it offers more than a decorative collectible. Its café-management game provides an activity to return to, the camera introduces a creative feature, and the multiplayer mini-games give friends another way to enjoy the device together.

It could be a worthwhile addition for collectors who appreciate interactive merchandise, enjoy casual gaming or want something different from another figure or plush toy. The secret MOKOKO-inspired design also adds an extra attraction for fans who enjoy discovering special editions.

Before buying, however, consider the overall value rather than focusing entirely on the excitement surrounding LABUBU. Think about whether you will regularly play the games, use the camera and enjoy the personalisation features. It is also sensible to compare the eventual Singapore price with the overseas listing and any additional costs.

For now, Singapore fans can keep this gadget on their wish lists while waiting for confirmed local details. With its café gameplay, photo-taking functions and collectible designs, the Shake A Drink Gaming Handheld offers a fresh way to experience the MONSTERS universe beyond traditional display pieces.
