For collectors, pop culture enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever walked past a display of finely crafted movie figures and felt that sudden urge to stop and look a little longer, this is one of those rare moments in Singapore’s retail landscape that deserves attention.
After an impressive 22-year presence at Plaza Singapura, Movie Replicas is preparing to close this chapter. The store at Plaza Singapura will officially cease operations on 12 August 2026, before relocating to a new home at CityLink Mall. While relocation announcements are not uncommon in retail, what makes this particularly meaningful is the long history the store has built with collectors, fans, and casual shoppers who have grown up seeing its displays evolve over the years.
For many, this is more than just a store closure. It marks the end of a familiar stop in the Orchard Road shopping experience, especially for those who have spent weekends browsing through detailed statues, limited-edition figures, and movie memorabilia that cannot easily be found elsewhere in mainstream retail outlets.
A Long-Standing Name in Collectibles Retail
Movie Replicas has established itself as a specialist destination for collectors in Singapore. Unlike general merchandise shops, it focuses on highly detailed figurines, licensed statues, and pop culture collectibles that often appeal to dedicated fans of film franchises, animation, and comics.
Over the years, the store has become known for its curated selection, featuring franchises that span generations. Visitors can expect to find pieces inspired by Marvel, DC, Star Wars, anime series, and other iconic cinematic universes. Each item is typically designed with a strong emphasis on detail and craftsmanship, which is part of why the store has maintained a loyal following for more than two decades.
It is not unusual to hear shoppers describe the store as a “visual experience” rather than just a retail outlet. Even those who do not intend to purchase anything often find themselves drawn in by the presentation of life-like statues and display setups that feel closer to a mini exhibition than a traditional shop.
Why This Farewell Matters to Collectors
The closure of the Plaza Singapura outlet is not simply about a change of address. For many collectors, physical stores like this play an important role in the hobby. While online marketplaces offer convenience, they cannot fully replace the experience of seeing a collectible up close, especially when it comes to texture, scale, and finish quality.
There is also something about walking into a store and discovering items unexpectedly. A figure that was not on a wishlist might suddenly stand out, or a limited edition piece might appear just in time before it sells out. These moments are part of what makes visiting a physical collectibles store worthwhile.
With the countdown now underway, this final period at Plaza Singapura represents one last opportunity to explore the current space before everything transitions to a new environment at CityLink Mall.
What Visitors Can Expect Before 12 August 2026
Those planning a visit before the closure date can still expect the store’s signature range of products. While stock availability may vary as the relocation approaches, the store continues to showcase a wide selection of items across different categories.
Visitors can look forward to:
- Action figures from major franchises
- Premium movie replicas and detailed statues
- Anime-inspired collectibles and merchandise
- Pop culture items featuring Marvel and DC characters
- Star Wars memorabilia and themed displays
- Limited-run collector’s pieces and display models
As with many relocation events, there may also be shifting inventory levels, which means certain items could become harder to find as the deadline approaches. This creates a natural sense of urgency for collectors who have been waiting for the right moment to purchase specific pieces.
The Plaza Singapura Experience
Located at Plaza Singapura, #07-12A/12B, the store sits within one of Orchard Road’s most recognisable shopping malls. The mall itself is well-known for attracting both tourists and locals due to its accessibility and variety of retail offerings.
For many shoppers, visiting Movie Replicas often becomes part of a larger shopping trip around the Orchard area. It is not uncommon to pair a visit with browsing other nearby stores, grabbing a meal, or simply spending time exploring the mall’s different levels.
The store’s operating hours remain consistent during this final period:
12:30PM to 9:30PM daily
This gives visitors ample time to drop by, whether in the afternoon or evening.
Looking Ahead: The Move to CityLink Mall
While it is always a little bittersweet to see a long-standing location close, this is not the end of Movie Replicas in Singapore. Instead, it marks a transition to a new space at CityLink Mall.
The new outlet is scheduled to open on 1 September 2026 at:
CityLink Mall, 1 Raffles Link, #B1-39, Singapore 039393
This relocation places the store in a highly connected underground mall linking City Hall MRT and Raffles Place MRT areas, making it even more accessible for commuters and city shoppers.
A move like this often brings refreshed layouts, updated displays, and potentially new inventory arrangements. While the Plaza Singapura outlet carries years of history, the new location may introduce a different retail experience while maintaining the same focus on collectibles.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Visit
There is something uniquely compelling about visiting a store in its final months at a familiar location. The atmosphere tends to feel different, with customers often taking more time to browse and appreciate items they might have overlooked in the past.
For collectors, this period can also be practical. Relocation phases sometimes come with inventory adjustments, making it a good opportunity to secure items before they transition to the new store. Even casual visitors may find this the right moment to start or expand a collection.
More importantly, it is a chance to revisit a space that has been part of Singapore’s retail and pop culture scene for over two decades. Whether someone is a long-time collector or simply curious, the experience itself carries a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for how niche retail stores continue to shape the local shopping landscape.
