M Stand, a Chinese specialty coffee chain, launched a cross-brand collaboration with OZAI (哦崽), a trendy toy brand, on September 28, 2026. The partnership centers on a co-branded blind box campaign featuring OZAI's signature characters across multiple variants.

As part of the collaboration, M Stand redesigned its coffee cups with OZAI's character imagery, bringing the toy brand's aesthetic into the in-store coffee experience. Plush blind boxes featuring OZAI characters were released simultaneously alongside the cup designs, giving consumers both a consumable and a collectible entry point into the campaign.
