Pop Mart Labubu is not just another figure in the line of collectibles. It is a cult classic, a design icon, and an international darling among collectors. But what exactly has made the little figure with the crooked smile a global phenomenon? Let us take you inside the universe.
A monster you won’t forget
Labubu was created by the Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung and was originally introduced in the comic universe "The Monsters". With its pointed ears, wild eyes, and distinctive row of teeth, Labubu balances between being cute and a little bit creepy – in the best possible way.
It is precisely this contrast that has made Labubu so captivating. It may look like a teddy bear, but it feels like something far more artistic and personal. A figure with edge – and with fans all over the world.
A part of the Pop Mart movement
Pop Mart is the Chinese brand behind a wide range of designer figures and collectibles in blind box format – that is, small, sealed boxes where you don’t know which figure you get until you open it.
Labubu has become one of the most iconic figures in Pop Mart’s lineup and comes in a variety of series and collabs – from colorful unicorns to dark, almost melancholic characters. Each figure tells its own story, and many are only in production for a short time, making them extra sought after. Looking for Pop Mart Labubu blind box or Pop Mart collectibles? You’ve come to the right place.
Why collectors love Labubu
Labubu appeals to both casual fans and hardcore collectors. The design is simple but unique – and there’s an almost Pokémon-like urge to "catch them all". With the mystery box concept, the unboxing experience becomes part of it all: excitement, surprise, and the hope of getting a "secret edition".
It’s not just the figure in your hand that counts. It’s the whole ritual, the aesthetics, and the community around it. Many collectors share their hauls on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube – and Labubu is the star in many of them.
