So, you're on the hunt for the pink labubu name. I get it. You've seen that adorable, blush-pink little monster with the floppy ears all over your social media feeds, probably clutched in the hand of an influencer or, famously, Lisa from Blackpink. You type "pink labubu" into Google, and a sea of images appears, but no clear, official name.
It's one of the most common questions we get at PopNya. "Do you have the pink one?" "What's the pink one called?"
The short answer that everyone in the community uses is Lychee Bomb.
But the real, more interesting answer is that it doesn't have an official name. None of them do. And that's the first secret of The Monsters Exciting Macaron series.
When POP MART released this set, they broke from their usual tradition. Most series, like "Fall in Wild" or "Sweet," have unique names for each figure printed right on the box and the collector card. Think "Little Gardener" or "Mushroom." But the Macaron series? Nothing. You just get a picture of the figure. The box just says "The Monsters Exciting Macaron." That's it.
This left a vacuum. And the collector community, as it always does, rushed in to fill it. We couldn't just keep calling them "the pink one" or "the green one." That's no fun. So, inspired by the macaron theme, fans collectively assigned flavor names to each color. It happened organically on platforms like Reddit, Instagram, and collector Facebook groups.
This is one of my favorite things about the designer toy world. When the creators leave a blank space, the fans pick up the pen. It makes the collection feel more personal, more like a shared experience.
The Unofficial "Official" Labubu Macaron Series Names
Because this comes up so often, I've basically memorized the list. If you're trying to trade, buy, or just sound like you know what you're talking about, these are the exciting macaron labubu names you need to know.
* Pink: Lychee Bomb * Cream/White: Soymilk * Green: Green Grape (sometimes called Pistachio, but Green Grape is more common) * Yellow: Mango * Brown/Tan: Toffee (This is one of the two chase/secret figures) * Light Blue: Sea Salt Coconut
And then there's the big one, the super-secret chase figure. The one with the sparkly, translucent brown body. The community calls it Chestnut. Pulling that one from a blind box is a feeling I've only experienced once. Pure adrenaline.
The fact that these names are fan-made is why you see some variation. I've seen the green one called Pistachio, Matcha, and Green Apple. But over time, the community has mostly settled on the list above. Lychee, Soymilk, and Sea Salt Coconut are pretty much universally accepted now.
Why Lychee Bomb? The Anatomy of a Hype Monster
Okay, so why did the pink one, Lychee Bomb, become the face of this series? It wasn't just the Lisa photo, though that sent the hype into an entirely different stratosphere. From the moment we got our first shipment at the shop, the pink one was the clear favorite.
First, the color is perfect. It's not a loud, bubblegum pink. It's a soft, warm, peachy-pink that photographs incredibly well. It hits that "aesthetic" sweet spot that's so popular right now. It looks good on a desk, on a shelf, or dangling from a bag.
Second, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. As more people posted photos of their Lychee, more people wanted it. Its popularity fed itself. This created a huge price disparity right out of the gate. At launch, a blind box retailed for around $15-$17. Within a week, I saw people selling Lychee as an open-box figure for $40, then $50, then even higher. At its peak, it was hitting $60-70 on secondary market sites, which is wild for a regular figure in a set. For a deeper look at the market madness, our Honest Labubu Macaron Buyer's Guide breaks down the pricing chaos we saw firsthand.
Even now, months after the initial craze, Lychee still holds the highest value among the regular figures. While the others have settled closer to the $20-$25 range, Lychee consistently fetches $35 or more. It's the poster child for LABUBU hype.
Don't Sleep on Sea Salt Coconut: The Light Blue Labubu Name and Its Appeal
While Lychee was getting all the attention, another favorite quietly emerged: the light blue labubu name, Sea Salt Coconut. This one is my personal favorite from the regular set. The color is a beautiful, dusty periwinkle blue. It's calming where Lychee is energetic.
It appeals to a different aesthetic. If Lychee is for the warm-toned, sunset-aesthetic crowd, Sea Salt Coconut is for the cool-toned, minimalist collectors. It took a little longer to gain traction, but now it's arguably the second most sought-after regular figure in the series. Its price has been much more stable, hovering around $25-30, making it a more accessible favorite.
What's interesting is how these two, Lychee and Sea Salt Coconut, became the unofficial mascots of the set. They represent two sides of the same coin and show how a simple color choice can completely change a figure's personality.
Real Talk: A Seller's Honest Opinion on the Macarons
I'm going to be honest with you. As a seller and a collector, I have a complicated relationship with the Exciting Macaron series.
On one hand, it's been incredible for the community. It was a "gateway" series that brought thousands of new people into the world of Kasing Lung's art. The simple, clean designs are undeniably cute and accessible. They're easy to love. And for our shop, PopNya, they were a phenomenon. We've never had a series sell out so fast.
But on the other hand… I think they're a little overhyped.
Here's my contrarian take: The Macaron series is one of the least detailed LABUBU sets. The beauty of Kasing Lung's designs is often in the intricate accessories, the detailed paint jobs, and the clever concepts. Think of the complex outfits in the "Zimomo" series or the tiny props in the "Forest Concert" set. The Macarons are, by design, very simple. They are a single-color figure with a painted face. That's it.
If you're looking for a pink LABUBU, there are other, more interesting options out there that get overshadowed by Lychee's fame. For example, the pink figure from the "Sweet" series is a gorgeous, glossy pink with a tiny dessert on its head. The pink from the "Fall in Wild" series has a beautiful gradient and textured details. I even wrote a whole guide on this because so many people only know the Macaron pink; you can check out The Pink Labubu Buyer's Guide to see what I mean.
Another thing that nobody talks about is the finish. The Macarons have this unique, matte, almost velvety texture. It feels amazing to the touch, but it is an absolute magnet for dust, dirt, and scuffs. I've had to gently wipe down our display Lychee and Sea Salt Coconut figures with a microfiber cloth countless times. The glossy figures from other series are much easier to keep clean. If you plan on using yours as a bag charm, be prepared for it to get dirty fast.
The Collector's Tip No One Tells You
Because of the Macaron mania, a ton of fakes flooded the market. A ton. We've had people try to sell or trade fakes at our shop, and the differences are subtle but crucial. If you want to avoid getting scammed, I highly recommend reading our detailed guide on spotting fake Exciting Macaron Labubus.
But here's a tip from someone who has handled hundreds of these boxes: forget about weighing them or shaking them to find the secret. It doesn't work for this series.
On some older blind box series, you could sometimes identify a chase figure because it had a heavier or uniquely shaped accessory that would rattle in the box. The Macaron figures are all almost identical in weight and shape. The only difference with the Toffee and Chestnut secrets is the material, and the weight difference is so negligible that it's within the margin of error of the packaging itself. I've seen people on TikTok confidently shaking boxes, and I just have to laugh. You're just as likely to get a Soymilk as you are a Chestnut.
The only way to guarantee a specific figure is to buy it open-box from a reputable seller. Or, do what we all love most: embrace the gamble of the blind box. The thrill of not knowing what you're going to get is half the fun.
So, while the pink labubu name might officially be nonexistent, "Lychee Bomb" has become its identity. It's a name born from community love, a testament to how fans can shape the culture around the art they collect. It's more than just a pink toy; it's a character we all helped create.
Whether you're just starting with your first Lychee or you're trying to hunt down the elusive Chestnut, the Macaron series is a journey. If you're ready to start that journey or add another little monster to your family, you can always browse our LABUBU collection at PopNya to see who's waiting for a new home.
