We Checked Out the ALIEN STAGE Pop-Up at Square One — Here's What's Actually There
2026-07-02
Mr. Surprise's ALIEN STAGE x Anakt Arts High School pop-up just landed at Square One's Centre Court in Mississauga — Canada's first-ever ALIEN STAGE event. Here's what's in stock, what it costs, and how the Kuji lottery works.
Mr. Surprise has brought the ALIEN STAGE: Anakt Arts High School Pop-Up to Centre Court at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, and it's the franchise's first-ever event in Canada. The booth runs June 27 – July 12, 2026, so if you're anywhere near the GTA, there's still time to swing by.
The setup is small but well themed: a school-hallway backdrop wraps around the merch counter, complete with life-size cutouts of the main cast in their Anakt Arts uniforms, sticky-note doodles, and a "do not touch" glass display case for the higher-end pieces.
What's for sale
The lineup skews toward plush and accessories rather than apparel. Prices we spotted in-store:
Seated plushies (Mizi, Till, Hyuna, Sua, Ivan, Luka): $139.99 each, one per design, one unit per person per order
Plush bun-head pendants: $36.99
Commemorative coin sets: $29.99
Plush lollipop pendant set: $99.99

The Kuji lottery (this is the part to know before you spend)
Every $65 + tax spent earns one lottery draw, and draws stack if you spend more.
Round One (June 27 – July 5): each draw is a shot at an in-person signing event with ALIEN STAGE creators VIVINOS & QMENG — 110 winners total, 12 drawn daily. Everyone who doesn't win the signing gets a consolation AAHS Duo card.
Round Two (July 6 – July 12): draws go toward a Grand Prize (a Global Limited Edition AAHS Series Seated Plush, 6 total winners, one per character design), plus non-grand-prize draws for hair clips or stickers.
Add-on: any purchase gets you a $2.99 + tax exclusive paper tote bag, limit 3 per person, while supplies last.
Worth the trip?
If you're a fan of the show, yes — this is the first time this merch has been available in Canada at all, and the signing lottery is a real draw for anyone chasing a creator meet-and-greet. If you're just curious, the free photo-op wall alone (school hallway cutouts, character standees) is worth a walk-by even if you don't buy anything.
Location: Centre Court, Square One Shopping Centre, Mississauga, ON Dates: Saturday, June 27 – Sunday, July 12, 2026
