Miniso Qubi Raincoat Angel Blind Box Criticised for Suggestive Pose; Customer Service Cites Purity Intent
Miniso's Qubi Raincoat Angel series blind box figurines have drawn criticism for a bent-over pose that exposes the buttocks. The 13-piece collection features soft, cute dolls in short raincoats with upturned hems. Customer service responded on August 12 that the design aims to showcase angelic purity and bring healing, describing Qubi as a genderless angel of love and companionship. The product is restricted to buyers aged 15 and above, with minors in that range requiring guardian consent and those under 15 barred from purchasing.
A figurine blind box launched by Miniso has recently been criticised for its inappropriate pose. The product is the Qubi Raincoat Angel series icon box, comprising 13 different colour variants. The dolls have a soft, cute appearance, but all adopt a bent-over pose with the buttocks fully exposed, as the short raincoat's hem flips upward.
On the morning of August 12, Miniso customer service responded that the creative intent behind the product is to showcase the purest, most unadorned natural appearance of an angel, aiming to bring ease and healing to busy lives. Customer service stated that Qubi is a genderless little angel symbolising love and companionship, and said consumer feedback would be relayed upward. The product page on the shopping platform shows the product is suitable for people aged 15 and above, with minors within the applicable age range requiring guardian consent to purchase, and those under 15 are not permitted to buy blind box products.
