What characters exist in the Labubu universe?

Labubu is part of the The Monsters IP created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, featuring characters like Zimomo, Tycoco, Mokoko, and Labubu itself. Each has distinct roles—Zimomo serves as the clan leader, while Labubu is a mischievous forest spirit. No “Zizi” appears in any official canon or derivative series.

Beyond core lore, Labubu’s universe expands through thematic releases like the Fruit and Macaron Series. For example, the 2023 “Frontline Alert 3.0” introduced new limited editions, but Zizi remains absent. Pro Tip: Always verify character names through POP MART’s app or official catalogs to avoid confusion with fan-made variants.

How has Labubu evolved since 2015?

Labubu debuted in 2015 as a minor character in Kasing Lung’s Nordic folklore-inspired art. Initially overlooked, its 2019 partnership with POP MART propelled global fame through blind boxes and collaborations. While Labubu now has over 200 variants, Zizi isn’t among them—highlighting POP MART’s focus on expanding existing characters rather than introducing unplanned ones.

The character’s design evolved from simple resin casts to intricate vinyl figures. Take the “Mint Labubu” auctioned for $108k—it refined textures but retained core traits like nine sharp teeth. Why hasn’t Zizi emerged? Market strategies prioritize deepening emotional connections to existing IPs rather than diluting them with redundant additions.

Year	Milestone	Character Additions
2015	First appearance in The Mysterious Cabin	Zimomo, Labubu
2019	POP MART partnership	Tycoco, Mokoko

Are there Labubu variants with unique names?

Yes. Limited editions like Zimomo the Abominable (a 40cm resin variant) or the metallic “Labubu the Shiny” exist, but their names derive from material or size differences, not new identities. Zizi could be misconstrued from a fan nickname or mistranslation—common in global fandoms.

For instance, the 2024 “Candy Labubu” release sparked debates about its proper Chinese-to-English naming. Pro Tip: Check POP MART’s trilingual packaging for canonical names. While creativity thrives in fan communities, official IPs maintain strict naming consistency to preserve brand integrity.

⚠️ Critical: Avoid purchasing “Zizi”-labeled products from third-party sellers—they’re likely unauthorized customs or scams.

Like MisfitMood’s socially anxious “Wallow”, true emotional resonance comes from depth, not arbitrary expansions.
