If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve probably seen those bright, fuzzy monsters hanging off everyone’s backpacks and designer totes. It’s hard to miss the jagged teeth and the mischievous grin of Labubu, the breakout star of Kasing Lung’s "The Monsters" family. While Labubu has been a staple in the art toy world for years, the buzz around the 3rd gen labubu—officially known as the "Big Into Energy" series—is unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Whether you’re a long-time collector or someone who just saw a celebrity rocking one on Instagram and wondered, "Where can I get that?", this is the generation that has everyone hooked. Let’s dive into what makes this new labubu series so special.
What’s the Big Deal with the 3rd Gen Labubu?
The labubu third generation isn't just another repeat of the same old toy. It’s a complete evolution in design and feel. While the first gen gave us the classic vinyl look and the second gen introduced the "Have a Seat" plushies, the V3 "Big Into Energy" pendants are all about movement and texture.
Design Innovations
The biggest shift in 3rd gen labubu is the "vinyl-plush" hybrid build. You get that signature expressive vinyl face that captures all of Labubu’s personality, paired with a super-soft, vibrant fuzzy body.
These are designed as pendants, making them the ultimate high-end accessory for your bags. The colors are much more saturated and "electric" than previous series. We’re talking about:
-
Hope (Blue): The standout electric blue that’s currently the most searched color.
-
Loyalty (Black): A sleek, edgy version that looks incredible on dark leather.
-
Love (Pink): A warm, vibrant pink that’s a fan favorite.
Character Developments
In the 3rd gen labubu series, each color represents a specific "energy" or vibe. It’s not just a toy; it’s a way to express how you’re feeling. Whether you’re feeling "Bright" (Yellow) or "Peaceful" (Brown), there’s a Labubu to match.
Collectibility and the Community
Let’s be honest: the thrill of the "blind box" is what keeps us coming back. Each new labubu series drop feels like a global event.
The community in the United States has exploded recently. Collectors aren't just buying them; they’re styling them, taking them on trips, and trading them like rare cards. The hunt for the "Secret" or "Chase" figure—the elusive "ID" version in this series—is currently the peak of the hobby. If you pull the secret, you’ve basically won the collector’s lottery.
