用法筆記
Originally popularised in East Asia — especially Japan, China, and Taiwan — the term blind box spread globally via brands like Pop Mart and Sonny Angel. The noun is countable: 'buy a blind box', 'open a blind box', 'the blind box series'. It can also be used attributively: 'blind box culture', 'blind box market'. A single boxed item is called a 'blind box', while the practice is referred to as 'buying blind boxes' or 'the blind box trend'. Do not use 'blind box' as a verb.
