Welcome, collectors and curious newcomers! If you've felt the pulse of pop culture lately, you know the name Labubu is everywhere. But for those ready to move beyond just seeing these furry creatures on celebrity bags and dive into the world of collecting, the first question is always the same: What’s out there? What is the complete Labubu collection list?
As a long-time collector, I can tell you that building a Labubu army is an adventure. It’s a journey through a world of mischievous smiles, endless colorways, and the thrilling hunt for that one "secret" edition. This guide is your ultimate map. We’ll explore the different series, meet the key characters by name, decode the colors, and answer the questions every new collector asks. Let’s unlock the world of The Monsters.
Introduction: What is Labubu?
Before we dive into the list, let’s understand the star. Labubu is an elf character, brought to life in 2015 by the brilliant Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. Inspired by the Nordic mythology he grew up with in the Netherlands, Lung created a story series called "The Monsters," and within that tribe, Labubu was born.
According to the original books, Labubu is a girl. She’s instantly recognizable by her high, pointed ears, her mischievous expression, and her signature feature: a mouthful of nine serrated teeth. She’s not conventionally "cute," and that’s precisely her superpower.
Since her creation, and especially after her partnership with the toy giant Pop Mart in 2019, Labubu has exploded into a global phenomenon. To date, she has been released in more than 300 colors, shapes, and sizes, making the task of cataloging a true labor of love.
How Many Labubu Collections Are There?
This is the million-dollar question. The answer is wonderfully complex. Counting every single variant, from the main series figures to exclusive collaborations and large-scale art pieces, the number is vast and constantly growing. However, for the purpose of this guide, we will focus on the core collectible series that have defined the modern Labubu craze.
The Ultimate Labubu Series List
While there are many releases, the fandom is currently dominated by two main series of vinyl plush pendants, affectionately known as V1 and V2. These are the "bag charms" that started the global frenzy. Let's break down every Labubu series that matters right now.
1. The Monsters - Tasty Macarons Vinyl Face Blind Box (V1)
This is the series that started it all for the plush pendant craze. First launched in October 2023, this collection features Labubu in a standing position, complete with a gold-tone ring clasp for easy attachment to your bag. Her head, arms, and feet are poseable, adding to the fun.
The Cast:
This series is dessert-themed, with each color reflecting a sweet treat name. Here are the Labubu characters names and pictures (in your mind's eye!) for the V1 series:
Sesame Bean: A light, creamy off-white.
Soymilk: A warm, pale beige.
Toffee: A classic, rich caramel brown.
Sea Salt Coconut: A soft, delicate baby blue.
Lychee Berry: A vibrant, sweet pink.
Green Grape: A fresh, juicy green.
The Grail: The Secret Edition
Every blind box series has a super-rare "secret" figure that sends collectors into a frenzy. For the Macaron series, it's Chestnut Cocoa. While similar in color to Toffee, Chestnut Cocoa is distinguished by its bright red nose and even higher rarity. Your odds of finding this gem? About 1 in 72 boxes.
2. The Monsters – Have A Seat Vinyl Plush Blind Box (V2)
Due to overwhelming popularity, Pop Mart released the follow-up series in July 2024. As the name suggests, these Labubus come in an adorable seated position. They feature a softer, plusher fur, and the clasps and tags now match the doll's color for a more seamless look. Their expressions are also more varied.
The Cast:
The "Have A Seat" series introduced a new set of characters with playful, rhyming names:
HeHe: A sophisticated grey.
BaBa: A light, milky coffee brown.
ZiZi: A charming lavender purple.
QuWu: A refreshing mint green.
SiSi: A cheerful, sunny yellow.
DaDa: A lovely blossom pink.
The Grail: The Secret Edition
The secret in this series is the adorable DuoDuo. She comes in a rich, dark brown and, like Chestnut Cocoa, sports a signature red nose. Her special touch? An extra twinkle in her eye that makes her even more irresistible.
Labubu Characters Names and Pictures: Identifying Your Monsters
For a new collector, the biggest challenge is often telling the cast apart. Here’s a quick cheat sheet on Labubu characters names and their key identifying features.
Are All Labubus Girls?
This is a common question, and the answer is nuanced. According to the original lore, Labubu herself is a girl. However, the characters within the "Have A Seat" and other series have their own distinct identities. For instance, some collectors might see the playful, rhyming names as gender-neutral or even masculine, but officially, they are all part of Labubu's world. When in doubt, it's safe to refer to the dolls as characters, with Labubu as the central female figure.
Labubu Styles and Designs: A Collector's Color Guide
Let's decode the color palette that has taken the world by storm.
The Brown Labubu Name: There isn't one single "brown Labubu." You have the rich, caramel Toffee from the Macaron series. Then there's the secret, darker Chestnut Cocoa with its red nose. In the Have A Seat series, you have BaBa, which is a light brown, and the secret DuoDuo, which is a dark brown. So, if you're looking for a specific shade, you need the precise name.
What is the Pink Labubu Called? Similarly, the pink Labubu depends on the series. In V1, it's the sweet Lychee Berry. In V2, it's the lovely DaDa. Each has its own unique charm.
Beyond the Basics: Labubu Collaborations and Rare Finds
While the Macaron and Have A Seat series are the most accessible, the deeper you go, the more exciting it gets. The world of Labubu collabs is where true rarity lies. Pop Mart frequently partners with artists and brands to create limited-edition figures. These collaborations are often produced in very small quantities and become instant grails for serious collectors. Keep an eye out for partnerships with global brands and artists—they are the crown jewels of any collection.
Collector's Corner: Practical Pointers
How Many Labubu Are There in a Complete Set?
For the two main series:
Tasty Macaron: 6 regular figures + 1 secret = 7 possible dolls to collect.
Have A Seat: 6 regular figures + 1 secret = 7 possible dolls to collect.
Therefore, a complete collection of just these two hot series would be 14 unique dolls. But remember, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When you consider older series, regional exclusives, and collaborations, the total number of unique Labubu releases easily climbs into the dozens.
Labubu Size Chart
If you're planning to accessorize, size matters.
V1 (Tasty Macaron - Standing): Measures approximately 8 cm wide x 17 cm tall x 7 cm deep.
V2 (Have A Seat): Measures approximately 15 cm wide x 8 cm tall x 7 cm deep. They are a bit "wider" due to their seated pose but less tall.
Both are perfectly sized to be adorable bag buddies without being overwhelming.
A Word on Labubu Dolls for Sale
The demand for these little monsters is astronomical. They sell out online and in stores within minutes. This has created a huge secondary market. If you're looking for Labubu dolls for sale, you have two main options:
-
Official Pop Mart Channels: This is your best bet for retail pricing (approx. $20-$25 USD per blind box), but you'll need to be fast and persistent. Follow their social media for drop announcements.
-
The Resale Market: Platforms like eBay, StockX, and dedicated Facebook groups are where you'll find sold-out figures. Be prepared to pay a premium, especially for confirmed "secret" editions and sold-out collaborations. Always buy from reputable sellers with good reviews to avoid fakes.
Conclusion: Your Collection Awaits
The world of Labubu is vast, joyful, and a little bit mischievous—just like the elf herself. From the dessert-inspired sweetness of the V1 Macaron series to the soft, seated charm of the V2 Have A Seat collection, there is a perfect Labubu out there waiting to join your family and perch on your favorite bag.
Use this Labubu collection list as your starting point. Learn the names—Sesame Bean, DaDa, ZiZi, DuoDuo—and let your heart guide you to your first (or next) blind box. Happy hunting, collectors. May the odds of finding a secret be ever in your favor.
