Dubai’s cult collectibles brand The Little Things opens at Yas Mall, bringing anime figures, blind boxes and rare finds to Abu Dhabi
There is a new reason to spend more time at Yas Mall. The Little Things has landed in Abu Dhabi, and it is packed wall to wall with the kind of collectibles that turn a quick browse into a full detour.
The Dubai-born brand has built a loyal following for its mix of anime figures, designer toys and those addictive blind boxes you swear you will only buy one of. Now, it brings that same energy to the capital with its first store here. And yes, it feels like stepping into a very well organised treasure chest.

Inside, the space is fun and sleek. Shelves are stacked with limited-edition pieces, plushies, premium statues and pop culture finds that span global franchises. You can move from sleek designer collectibles to nostalgic trinkets in a few steps, which is part of the fun. It is easy to see why collectors take this seriously, but at the same time, casual shoppers will find plenty to get excited about.
More importantly, the timing makes sense. Abu Dhabi’s retail scene keeps shifting towards experiences, and this store taps straight into that. The store is about that small thrill when you find a piece you did not expect.

The Little Things is not new to the capital either. It has been a regular at Comic Con, drawing crowds every year. Now, it gives fans a permanent spot to return to, without waiting for an annual event.
As the brand continues to grow across the region and beyond, this Yas Mall opening feels like a natural next step. For collectors, it is long overdue. For everyone else, it is a reminder that sometimes the smallest things are the most fun to take home.
