Have a Seat Labubu: A Seller’s Honest Guide to the V2 Hype

I still remember the chaos when the Macaron series first dropped, but the release of the Have a Seat Labubu series (often called Labubu V2) felt different. It wasn't just collectors buying them; it was everyone. I run PopNya, and I’ve had more DMs asking about this specific series in the last three months than any other Pop Mart release combined.

If you’ve been trying to snag a Labubu doll have a seat blind box, you already know the struggle. They vanish from the official site in seconds. But before you go dropping triple the retail price on a reseller site, we need to talk about what you’re actually getting, because the quality jump from V1 to V2 is massive—and so is the counterfeit problem.

A lot of people think the only difference is the pose. Yes, the sitting Labubu design is cute because they look great perched on a monitor or a shelf edge, but the materials are totally different.

When I cracked open my first have a seat box, the first thing I noticed was the fur. The Macaron series (V1) has this smooth, almost flat felt texture. The Labubu V2 uses a curled, fluffy plush material that feels much more premium. It’s softer, denser, and honestly just nicer to hold.

The face is different too. The vinyl used on the face is slightly squishier, and the eyes? They aren't just painted on. They have this glossy, follow-me effect that catches the light. It gives the figure way more personality. If you compare a Labubu take a seat figure next to a V1, the V1 starts to look a bit cheap.

The Labubu have a seat collection consists of 6 standard figures and 1 secret. Here is the breakdown from my inventory experience:

* Hehe (The Grey/Silver one): Probably the most versatile. * Sisi (The Yellow one): The "blondie" of the group. * Dada (The White one): This is the have a seat white Labubu everyone wants because it looks like a little yeti. It gets dirty fast though. * Ziji (The Purple one): Underrated colorway. * Ququ (The Green/Teal one): The green Labubu have a seat is iconic because it matches the classic monster color. * Baba (The Brown one): The OG color. * Duo Duo (Secret): The elusive pink one with the different eye expression.

If you are looking to start your own Labubu collection, this series is arguably the best entry point right now because of the quality, provided you can find them.

Here is the part most blogs won't tell you. The retail price for a single box is usually around $17 USD (depending on your region). However, right now, I’m seeing Labubu have a seat blind boxes going for $35 to $45 on secondary markets.

I monitor the market daily. The hype for the Pop Mart have a seat series was at its peak two months ago. Prices are actually cooling down slightly as Pop Mart restocks. If you see a seller asking for $60 for a regular open box, walk away. They are trying to catch people who don't know the market is softening.

For those looking to buy a Labubu have a seat full set, expect to pay a premium for the convenience of not getting dupes. Usually, a sealed case of 6 is running about $220-$250 from reputable resellers.

This is the scary part. The fakes for the Labubu have a seat series are terrifyingly good. I’ve had people send me photos of "deals" they found on random websites, and they are almost always counterfeits.

If you are hunting for a real Labubu have a seat, watch out for these specific tells:

1. The Feet Stamp: On the real seats Labubu figures, the Pop Mart logo stamped on the bottom of the feet is crisp and deep. On fakes, the stamp often looks shallow or the font is slightly too bold. 2. The Box Weight: A full Labubu have a seat set box should feel dense. The fakes often use lighter cardboard for the packaging. 3. The Fur Texture: This is the biggest giveaway. Fake V2s often use the straighter fur from V1 because it's cheaper to manufacture. If the fur isn't curly and nubbly, it’s likely fake. 4. The Card: The collectible card inside should have a matte finish with high-quality printing. Fakes often have glossy, flimsy cards.

For a deeper dive into identifying these, I wrote a detailed breakdown in my Ultimate Guide to Labubu Dolls, which covers the specific font differences on the packaging.

Obviously, the best place is the Labubu have a seat Popmart official page, but they are out of stock 99% of the time.

If you are buying from a third party: * Check their reputation. * Ask for photos of the actual box, not stock images. * If the price is too good (like $12 a box), it is fake. Period.

We stock them occasionally at PopNya when we can secure authentic inventory, but they fly out the door. You can check our current stock on our LABUBU collection page.

Honestly? Yes.

I’m usually skeptical when brands pump out "V2" versions just to cash in, but Labubu the monsters have a seat feels like a genuine upgrade. Kasing Lung and Pop Mart actually improved the product. The pose allows for better display options—I have a Labubu doll have a seat on my car dashboard and it stays put way better than the standing ones.

However, if you are purely looking for investment value, be careful. The market is flooded right now. Buy it because you love the design, not because you think it will pay for your retirement.

The have a seat series is probably my favorite release of the year, mostly because the tactile feel of the figure is just so satisfying. Just keep your eyes open for those fakes, and happy hunting!
