What are Labubu figures?
Labubu are collectible art toys designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, in collaboration with the iconic brand Pop Mart. These charmingly mischievous characters have become sought-after items in the pop art and designer toy world.
As part of The Monsters series, Labubu figures come from a fantasy world filled with uniquely styled creatures, inspired by legends, fairy tales, and Norse mythology. Their distinctive look—featuring long ears, tiny fangs, and expressive faces—sets them apart in the world of designer toys.
Beyond their visual appeal, each figure carries a narrative backstory, adding emotional and artistic value. This blend of creative design and rich storytelling has helped make Labubu a phenomenon among collectors worldwide.
Why are Labubu figures so popular?
Labubu are trendy due to their unique design that combines cuteness and mischief. Their popularity also stems from limited-edition releases and the mystery of blind box formats, which create a sense of exclusivity. Social media has helped build a strong global fan community. The fantasy world behind the characters adds further appeal, making them beloved by both collectors and design lovers.

Origin of the Labubu characters
Kasing Lung introduced Labubu in 2015 as part of The Monsters series, which draws heavily on Norse folklore and magical beings like elves. Though born in Hong Kong, Lung grew up in the Netherlands, surrounded by European fairy tales and legends that deeply influenced his art.
This cultural fusion led to the creation of characters like Labubu, with their enchanting and mysterious aesthetic. Since their debut, Labubu have evolved across various editions with changing colors, costumes, and themes—making them even more appealing to collectors.
How much does an original Labubu cost?
The price of a Labubu varies by model. On Pop Mart, prices range from $15 to $25 USD, but special edition figures—often more in demand—can go for over $200 USD on the resale market.
How many types of Labubu are there?
There are currently over 300 Labubu models. The most popular ones include:
- Have a Seat
- Fall in Wild
- Exciting Macaron
