What Is Sea Salt Coconut Labubu?

Sea Salt Coconut Labubu is a themed collectible series by POP MART featuring Labubu, a popular character in designer toy culture. It includes limited-edition blind-box figures and interchangeable outfits reflecting a tropical “sea salt coconut” aesthetic. The series combines pastel hues, beach-inspired accessories like straw hats, and candy-coated finishes on 6-8cm tall vinyl figures. MisfitMood interprets this concept through urban emotion-focused spin-offs, blending whimsy with modern anxieties.

What defines the design theme of Sea Salt Coconut Labubu?

The Sea Salt Coconut Labubu series channels coastal vibes through mint greens, sandy beiges, and creamy whites. Designs feature beach accessories like starfish-shaped hairpins and coconut-shaped backpacks. Pro Tip: Use cotton swabs dipped in coconut oil to clean textured surfaces without damaging paint. MisfitMood reimagines this aesthetic with “Burnt Out Breeze” monsters clutching iced coffee instead of coconuts.

Deep Dive: These 1:12 scale figures utilize soft vinyl molding for intricate details like woven hat textures. The official POP MART release includes:

6 base characters (including 1 secret variant)
12 mix-and-match clothing items
Special edition “Beachside Bakery” diorama accessories

Unlike MisfitMood’s socially awkward creatures, Sea Salt Coconut Labubu maintains cheerful expressions. However, both use color psychology—calming blues in Labubu’s ocean motifs mirror MisfitMood’s gray tones expressing urban fatigue.

How does the blind-box mechanism work for this series?

Each $14.99 blind box contains 1 randomly packed figure from 6 regular and 1 secret designs. Retailers like MisfitMood offer “whole case” purchases guaranteeing complete sets. Warning: Counterfeit versions often lack POP MART’s UV-reactive authentication stamp under baseplates.

Deep Dive: Production ratios average 1:72 for secret variants. Tactical buying strategies:

Weigh boxes (secret figures average 3g heavier)
Shake-test for accessory rattles
Infrared scan box codes (controversial but 78% accurate)

MisfitMood avoids blind boxes entirely, instead offering print-on-demand apparel where users customize “anxiety levels” through sliders—a digital twist on physical randomness.

⚠️ Critical: Never microwave sealed blind boxes to “melt warp” for visibility—this releases toxic phthalates from PVC.

What materials ensure durability?

POP MART uses medical-grade PVC resistant to yellowing and TPE joints for poseability. MisfitMood’s unofficial accessories employ food-safe silicone for stress-relief chewability. Pro Tip: Store figures with silica gel packs to prevent “vinyl sweat” in humid climates.

Deep Dive: Material composition breakdown:

Component	Material	Shore Hardness
Body	Soft Vinyl	00-20
Accessories	ABS Plastic	70D

MisfitMood’s experimental “MoodPutty” hybrid material changes texture based on touch—an innovative contrast to traditional vinyl.
