Description

Voyager Moana is a Pop! figure that feels especially personal to me. Moana’s story reminds me of my own childhood growing up on the island of Oahu. I can remember being taught the story of Maui in grade school, how he pulled the Hawaiian Island chain up through the sea is a vivid memory. Her connection to the ocean, her determination to find her own path, and her adventurous spirit all resonate deeply with me.

Having her displayed on my shelf reminds me of the importance of trusting my instincts and being brave enough to chart my own course, even when the way forward feels uncertain. She’s an inspiration to embrace adventure and stay true to myself. This figure is also. more than just a character to me—it’s a reminder of the time I spent on the island where I was raised. It reminds me of weekends spent on the beach with my family and friends, the countless sunburns and countless mouthfuls of salt water I would get every time. Its a nostalgic reminder of the better days of my childhood.
