Mr Merlion & Friends has debuted a pop-up store in Jewel Changi Airport in conjunction with National Day, available till 22 August! Located at Level 2, the pop-up store has T-shirts, tote bags, plushies, die-cut stickers and more, all featuring Singapore’s well-loved mascot – the Merlion!
The Merlion is iconic and synonymous with the little red dot we call home. A mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, it can be found in various locations in Singapore such as the Merlion Park near the central business district, where water can be seen spewing from its mouth. It can also be found on the third series of S$1 coins currently in circulation, which depict well known landmarks in Singapore.
Check out the towering display of Mr Merlions, in many different colours!

Once you enter the pop-up, you’ll definitely not miss the towering display of Mr Merlion plushies right in the centre! The soft and adorable plushies (S$35 each) come in various pastel colours, featuring Mr Merlion and all his friends, ensuring that there is a colour suitable for everyone! If you’d prefer something that can showcase your love for Mr Merlion on the go, miniature-sized plushies are also available as keychains.
