Pick a series you like and decide how much you want to spend. Then choose between a mystery blind box, an opened doll or a whole set. One doll is enough if that's all you want.
Choose one Labubu format and series
Do you want a bag charm, a shelf figure or a larger plush? All three can be called a Labubu doll. The character guide explains the differences.
Then choose a series whose designs you like:
- Have a Seat: seated vinyl plush pendants, about 15 cm tall.
- Exciting Macaron: dessert-inspired names and colors, about 17 cm tall.
- Big into Energy: vinyl plush pendants, 17 cm without the hanging loop.
POP MART's Big into Energy listing has the full lineup. These are separate series within The Monsters.
Blind box, opened design or whole set?

| Buying option | What you get | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Single blind box | The series, with a mystery design inside | Possible designs and the total delivered price |
| Opened named design | The doll shown in the listing | Photos of that doll, condition, packaging and seller |
| Official whole set | A sealed case with the listed number of boxes | Whether designs can repeat and how secrets affect the set |
For Exciting Macaron, POP MART lists six non-repeating boxes in a whole set. Have a Seat's official six-box option also contains six boxes.
Both series have six regular designs plus a secret. If a secret appears in a whole set, it replaces a regular design. A six-box set cannot contain all seven.
Set a budget before opening boxes
Include shipping and tax in your budget. If you only want one design, compare the cost of buying it opened with trying several mystery boxes. Check the odds for that series, but remember that buying more boxes does not guarantee the doll you want.
Set a spending limit or box limit before buying. Opening a duplicate does not mean you have to buy another box.
What to do about duplicates
Keep a list of your designs. Random boxes bought separately can repeat a design.
Before trading, agree on the design, condition, packaging and delivery. Ask for photos of the actual doll and proof of purchase. Read the platform's fees and buyer protections too.
Keep boxes, tags and purchase records for future trades or authenticity questions.
Check the seller
Start with POP MART's official website or stores. When buying elsewhere, check the individual seller and follow POP MART's code-verification instructions.
The fake Labubu checklist covers packaging and doll details. The buying guide compares official shops and resellers; the local store guide helps you check stock before a visit.
You can also compare Labubu blind-box listings on Amazon. Check the series, seller and whether the listing sells one sealed box, a whole set or an opened doll.
Plan the space you need
Measure before buying a display case. Leave room for ears, hanging attachments and the seated shape of Have a Seat.
For bag charms, see the keychain guide. If you want to dress a plush, check the clothes measurements before buying outfits.
If a regular pendant is too big, the smaller Pin for Love alphabet minis may fit better. The Labubu series guide compares other releases.
