Exploring the Magical World of Labubu and the Monsters Series

The world of Labubu and the Monsters is a captivating blend of Nordic mythology, folklore, and whimsy brought to life by artist Kasing Lung. Created in 2015 as part of The Monsters story series, this enchanting universe originated from three picture books that introduced readers to a vibrant tribe of good and mischievous characters. In 2019, the series reached new heights when Lung partnered with Pop Mart, a leading toy company specializing in collectible blind box toys. This partnership brought Labubu and their elf friends from the pages of storybooks into the hands of collectors worldwide.

At the heart of The Monsters story is Labubu, a small, kind-hearted elf with distinctive high, pointed ears and a wide grin revealing nine serrated teeth. Labubu’s mischievous yet optimistic nature makes them both endearing and relatable. Always eager to help, Labubu often stumbles into situations where their good intentions create more chaos than resolution, but their resilience and kind heart never fail to win everyone over. This lovable character is the cornerstone of the Monsters tribe and embodies the quirky charm that makes the series so popular.

Labubu is joined by a delightful cast of elf friends, each with unique traits and roles in the Monsters tribe. Zimomo, the wise and dependable leader, Mokoko, whose name translates to "special" in elvish, and Tycoco, Yaya, Spooky, Pato, and Pippo, each add depth and variety to the magical world. Together, they create a diverse community of good and mischievous beings that keep fans of all ages enchanted. The Monsters tribe is a blend of fun, mischief, and folklore-inspired magic, making it an unforgettable part of the collectible toy world.

Since partnering with Pop Mart, the Monsters series has become even more accessible through collectible blind boxes. Each blind box contains a surprise figure, offering the thrill of unboxing and the joy of discovering a new character to add to your collection. Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the world of Labubu, the blind box experience is an exciting way to engage with the Monsters series. Ready to start your Labubu adventure?
