Chinese Designer Toys Shine on the International Stage, Heyone Makes a Strong Breakthrough at PTS Singapore

On August 24, 2025, the third edition of the international POP TOY SHOW (PTS) concluded successfully at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. Spanning three days, this year’s exhibition, an important part of the “Beijing × Singapore POP TOY SHOW Dual-City Plan,” gathered hundreds of internationally renowned designer toy artists and premium industry manufacturers, attracting nearly ten thousand toy enthusiasts. The event successfully created a global celebration that combined creativity and artistry, showcasing the dynamic vitality and international influence of the designer toy industry. Chinese original toy brand Heyone stood out with outstanding performance, drawing long queues of fans eager to purchase its products. It emerged as one of the breakout brands of the show, underscoring the global competitiveness of Chinese designer toys.

Founded in 2022, Heyone focuses on creating trend culture and sharing pure playfulness. The brand has developed a diverse IP portfolio represented by “OZAI” and “MIMI,” both of which have gained popularity among Gen Z consumers at home and abroad. As a “regular guest” of PTS, Heyone has participated in the show for three consecutive years with consistently remarkable results. At this year’s exhibition, themed “Heart-signal in Singapore”, the brand ingeniously incorporated elements of Southeast Asian architecture with vibrant rainbow visuals to create an immersive “Colorful Nanyang Dream” booth. Over three days, Heyone achieved a powerful breakthrough: welcoming more than 1,000 visitors, attracting dozens of KOLs for on-site photo moments, and drawing coverage from leading local media. Multiple limited-edition releases sold out immediately, continuing the brand’s strong track record at previous shows and further cementing its position as one of the most influential PTS exhibitors.

Heyone’s IP lineup shone brightly at this year’s PTS. Its signature IPs OZAI and MIMI launched several exclusive releases that sold out instantly, sparking an enthusiastic market response. Among them, the “OZAI – Cowboy Utopia” series cleverly integrated denim cowboy elements, vividly expressing a spirit of freedom and individuality; the “OZAI – Resonance Seeker” series featured a unique magnetic design and glossy finish, perfectly interpreting the concept of “capturing moments of the heart.” Meanwhile, the MIMI collection carried forward an Oriental aesthetic, with new releases such as “Scent of a Memory” and “Poetic Spring” beautifully evoking classical Chinese atmospheres. Notably, other IPs including FurFur, FAYA, and HUDODO also performed strongly, with an overall sell-through rate reaching 80%. Related topics generated over 50,000 impressions on Instagram. Fans enthusiastically engaged in interactive booth activities and collected exclusive gifts. This exhibition delivered both commercial success and brand growth for Heyone. One excited fan who participated in activities at the booth said: “Heyone has such a rich IP portfolio, combining creativity and storytelling. I’ve been collecting their figures for a while, and I was thrilled to finally get some of my favorites here. I hope Heyone continues to surprise global fans with new creations.”

In recent years, Heyone has accelerated its global expansion, making appearances at international exhibitions in Paris, Singapore, Seoul, and Bangkok, and organizing multiple pop-up events. Its unique original designs have won the admiration of fans worldwide. This third participation at PTS Singapore not only highlights Heyone’s deep cultivation of the Southeast Asian market but also marks a critical step in its international growth. “Our sales performance at this year’s PTS hit a record high, with fans driving organic discussions on social media and giving us widespread praise. This reinforces our determination to keep expanding in Southeast Asia,” said a Heyone representative. “Through the exhibition, we aim to let fans truly ‘experience’ the cultural depth and emotional resonance behind each IP, building a deeper brand connection and inviting them to join us in the co-creation journey. Moving forward, Southeast Asia will remain a strategic hub as we expand globally, delivering products rich in culture, creativity, and emotional value to designer toy enthusiasts worldwide.”

As China’s international influence continues to rise, Chinese designer toy brands are advancing cultural exchange through global expansion. The success of Heyone in Southeast Asia not only showcases the limitless potential of Chinese designer toys but also reflects the worldwide appeal of Chinese culture. Looking ahead, designer toys are set to become a new “language” for China’s cultural dialogue with the world—bringing Chinese stories to life, spreading cultural values, and promoting cross-cultural exchange. As an industry leader, Heyone will continue to play a pioneering role, driving the global journey of Chinese designer toy culture and helping Chinese creativity shine on the world stage.

Lead with Expertise – Join PetroSync to Unlock the Power of API Standards

 Unlock the power of API Standards with PetroSync. Boost efficiency, cut costs, and lead confidently in the oil & gas industry.

When Competitors Move Faster, Where Does That Leave You?

In today’s fast-moving oil and gas industry, every decision matters. Imagine your competitors adopting cutting-edge standards, streamlining operations, and achieving faster turnaround times. Where would that leave your organization? Falling behind is not just about missed opportunities—it’s about losing trust, contracts, and market share.

Data shows that organizations leveraging AI-driven systems and global standards can boost team productivity by up to 40%, reduce operational inefficiencies by nearly 30%, and cut costs by as much as 20% through smarter tools like AI chatbots. The reality is simple: if your business does not evolve, others will take the lead.

Turning Standards into Strength: The Power of API Expertise

The difference between thriving companies and those struggling often lies in how well they adopt international standards. Embracing the API Standard is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. These standards ensure consistency, safety, and efficiency across the energy sector.

Take API 579, for example. This standard empowers engineers and managers to make accurate decisions about equipment fitness-for-service. When properly understood, it can extend the lifecycle of assets, prevent costly downtime, and safeguard your workforce.

Knowing the standards is one thing—implementing them effectively is another. This is where PetroSync steps in. By combining expert-led training with practical application, PetroSync equips your team with more than knowledge—it equips them with confidence.

Every session is designed to transform technical frameworks into business outcomes—greater productivity, stronger efficiency, and reduced costs.

Don’t Just Keep Up — Lead with Confidence

The competition is not slowing down. They’re investing in standards, technology, and training. The question is: will you let them take the lead, or will you step ahead? By aligning your strategy with global standards through PetroSync, you don’t just keep pace—you set the pace.

Leadership in oil and gas is not about reacting to change—it’s about anticipating it, preparing for it, and capitalizing on it. With PetroSync by your side, you gain the expertise to transform challenges into opportunities.

XRP Price Prediction Short-Term Target $3.3: Powell Signals September Rate Cut, Smart Money Bet on Find Mining

  

In 2025, cryptocurrency will usher in a new cycle. The halving of Bitcoin and the entry of ETFs, coupled with Powell's hint of a September interest rate cut, will drive global funds to flow into digital assets.

However, while most people are keeping their eyes on price increases, truly visionary investors have quietly turned to another track: the Find Mining platform - a digital asset value-added platform that is rapidly attracting "smart money".

Among the many ways to participate, Find Mining is becoming a high-frequency keyword in this round of market with its stable returns, principal protection and multi-currency support.

What is Find Mining?

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, Find Mining is a leading global renewable energy cloud mining platform regulated by the UK. With over 9.4 million registered users, it has a particularly strong presence among users in the US. It operates 135 large-scale mining farms in 175 countries and regions, primarily in Canada, Australia, and Russia. With transparency, safety, and efficiency at its core, the company is committed to promoting sustainable mining using renewable energy and currently has over $830 million in liquid assets.

When “holding coins and watching” is not as good as “structural participation”: Why does Find Mining attract smart investors?

Rather than trying to pinpoint the right timeframe, it's better to build a stable, predictable, and exitable asset allocation path. More and more investors are realizing that instead of blindly chasing high prices, it's better to establish a long-term, low-risk digital asset cash flow.

Find Mining is a platform that offers a variety of yield plans. Users simply deposit supported currencies (BTC, XRP, DOGE, etc.) and select the appropriate contract to earn stable daily returns. Furthermore, upon contract expiration, all principal and earnings are fully refunded.

The platform's three major advantages precisely address the three core needs of current market users:

✅ A quasi-"stable return" mechanism in a highly volatile market

✅ A low-entry, maintenance-free way to participate in digital assets

✅ Visualize and fully control your earnings process at any time

Find Mining: Not just a "computing power platform," but also a structured entry point for digital asset participation

Different from traditional cloud mining platforms, Find Mining is a "structured income platform" designed around asset security and risk management. All products are based on the following three core concepts:

1️⃣ Flexible, Multi-Period Contracts

Users can choose from 2-day, 6-day, 30-day, or longer contracts to meet diverse strategic needs. Profits are settled daily during the contract period, and principal is fully returned upon contract expiration.

2️⃣ Principal Protection Mechanism

Find Mining features an "asset protection pool" to ensure that users' principal will be returned on time and in full upon contract expiration, regardless of market fluctuations. This offers a highly attractive safeguard for conservative investors.

3️⃣ Multi-Currency Participation

The platform currently supports 12 major cryptocurrencies, including BTC (Bitcoin), XRP (Ripple), and DOGE (Dogecoin). Users can flexibly configure their investment based on their personal preferences and market trends, without being tied to a single currency.

How to get started quickly?

1. First, visit the official website and register an account with one click.

2. Select a contract plan that suits you.

3. Deposit your preferred cryptocurrency and purchase a contract.

4. Patiently wait for the contract to expire. Upon expiration, the principal and earnings will be automatically deposited into your account. You can withdraw or continue investing at any time.

Why is now a critical window period?

Currently, Bitcoin is in a post-halving upward trend, with on-chain activity and institutional investment rising simultaneously. The global macroeconomic environment (expectations of interest rate cuts and declining inflation) is creating upside potential for risky assets.

At the same time, mining difficulty has yet to fully reflect price growth, meaning that the current return on digital assets may be in a "sweet spot" for the next 12 months.

For Find Mining users, this presents an opportunity to participate in the new cycle with a relatively stable structure.

Who is suitable for Find Mining?

Find Mining's platform logic is not for high-risk speculation, but is designed for users who "want to participate but don't want to bear the extreme volatility." It is particularly suitable for:

Those who are optimistic about BTC and other mainstream currencies in the long term but are unwilling to hold them directly

Users who want to obtain stable digital income every month and build crypto cash flow

Investors or institutions who hold cryptocurrencies but wish to increase their returns through a lock-in value-added plan

The platform's daily data, revenue records, and contract progress can all be viewed in real time. Deposit and withdrawal operations are convenient, and multi-currency transfers and withdrawals are supported.

Find Mining's security and compliance performance

The platform has established asset isolation mechanisms, hot and cold wallet storage strategies, and a multi-factor authentication system to ensure the security of account funds. It has also achieved preliminary compliance registration in some friendly jurisdictions and plans to expand its compliance partnerships.

Unlike typical high-risk, high-volatility platforms, Find Mining does not engage in leveraged trading or promise high returns. Instead, it earns user trust through its "principal protection + transparent settlement" approach.

Conclusion: The market remains turbulent, and rational choices are scarce

The crypto market of 2025 is no longer a game for speculators, but is entering a new era centered on compliance, robustness, and structured investment.

Find Mining uses a simple yet reliable logic to provide users with a path to participate in crypto dividends without having to chase rising and falling prices:

Safe and controllable

Clear benefits

The principal is refundable

Easy to operate

If you are waiting for an opportunity to participate in cryptocurrencies that "doesn't rely on luck but on structure to make money", perhaps now is the most suitable time window.

Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, Former Construction Worker: Earning 7-8 Figures Now!

 

 

Success stories are never built overnight—they are written through hard work, perseverance, and the courage to dream big. Such is the inspiring journey of a man who started out as an ordinary construction worker but rose to become a Hall of Famer earning 7-8 figures now after joining REDinc.

Mentor Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, the First Hall of Famer of REDinc.

Before his breakthrough, life was anything but easy. He worked long hours in construction, earning just enough to get by. With limited opportunities, he often questioned if he could ever achieve the kind of success he dreamed of. But instead of giving up, he searched for a new path that could change his future. Anchored and supported by his better half, Mrs. Vanesa Gavales, he met REDinc. He was mentored by the compassionate President & CEO, Mr. Red Era whom he became friends with along the journey.

At first, he faced doubts and challenges—people questioned his decision, and failures tested his determination. He has no connections, no built in networks, skills and competencies seem inadequate, but with the guidance of REDinc’s system and the support of mentors who believed in him, he learned the skills of leadership, communication, and financial literacy. Gradually, conquering daily rejections, exerting efforts to scale up,  he built his team, inspired others, and created an impact in the lives of people who, just like him, were searching for hope. He built his empire, SRS-Global Team.

Years later, his story reached its peak. From the dusty grounds of construction, he rose to the bright lights of recognition—honored and celebrated as a Hall of Famer in the MLM industry.

Now, his life stands as proof: no matter where you start, with hard work, grit, and an unshakable dream, you can build not just a career—but a legacy that lasts forever.

Heyone Shines in Singapore, Steals the Spotlight on the First Day of PTS

On August 22, 2025, the third edition of the overseas international POP TOY SHOW (PTS) grandly opened at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. As an important part of the “Beijing × Singapore POP TOY SHOW Dual-City Plan,” this exhibition gathered hundreds of internationally renowned toy artists and manufacturers. Crowds surged in front of multiple booths, fans were full of enthusiasm, and the buying atmosphere was intense, highlighting the extraordinary popularity of designer toys in the Singapore market.

On the first day of the exhibition, Chinese original designer toy brand Heyone once again became the focus of the entire event. As a “resident guest” of the Singapore PTS, the brand continued its remarkable performance from previous editions. At this exhibition, Heyone presented the theme “Heart-signal in Singapore,” creating an immersive booth called “A Rainbow-tinted Dream of the Old Nanyang” by fusing Nanyang architectural elements with rainbow colors. As soon as the booth opened, it attracted large crowds lining up, with many limited-edition new products quickly sold out. On the first day, the booth welcomed more than 1,000 consumers, with dozens of KOLs visiting to take photos and check in, making it one of the most popular areas of the exhibition.

Heyone’s popular IP “OZAI” made a stunning debut at this exhibition and became a best-selling product sought after by toy fans. Among them, “OZAI – Cowboy Utopia” cleverly integrated denim cowboy elements, presenting a casual cowboy image through exquisite fabric craftsmanship; “OZAI – Resonance Seeker” adopted a unique magnetic attraction design and glossy finishing process, vividly interpreting the concept of “capturing moments of resonance.” In addition, the newly launched “OZAI – The Hooded Adventures” MINI blind box series reproduced OZAI’s adventurous journey with delicate craftsmanship and was also warmly welcomed by the audience.

In addition to the “OZAI” series, Heyone’s new generation IP “MIMI,” representing Eastern culture and healing power, also performed brilliantly. Two limited-edition figurines, “MIMI – Scent of a Memory” and “MIMI – Poetic Spring,” sold out quickly on the first day. Among them, “Scent of a Memory” ingeniously integrated the traditional incense lamp element, fully displaying the beauty of classical Chinese aesthetics; “Poetic Spring” used imagery such as leaves, rivers, and the moon to vividly recreate the poetic scenes in ancient Chinese poetry, showcasing Heyone’s innovative interpretation of traditional culture. A Singaporean fan who successfully purchased the MIMI limited edition said: “As a die-hard MIMI fan, I have always been fascinated by traditional Chinese culture. This new MIMI series not only continues the brand’s consistently high-level design but also integrates traditional aesthetics. I am very happy to have gotten one, and I will buy more Heyone products at the exhibition.”

On the first day, Heyone’s other IPs such as FurFur, FAYA, and HUDODO also achieved impressive sales results. The brand also specially set up interactive activities such as “Share Your Purchase Photos to Win Blind Boxes,” attracting enthusiastic participation from many fans. “We look forward to bringing more original IPs that combine creativity and artistic expression to overseas players through the PTS platform,” said a Heyone brand representative. “At the same time, through face-to-face interaction with fans, we gain valuable suggestions and creative inspiration.” This concept was fully demonstrated in the lively interactive atmosphere at the scene.

In recent years, Heyone has continued to accelerate its pace of globalization, successively entering international stages such as Paris, Singapore, Seoul, and Bangkok. Its original designs and cultural heritage have won widespread acclaim from designer toy lovers worldwide. Returning once again to the Singapore PTS, Heyone’s performance on the first day was particularly outstanding, making it one of the most popular booths at the event. During the exhibition, Heyone will continue to launch new products and organize engaging interactive activities, and its subsequent performance is highly anticipated.
