After Labubu from PopMart became such a hit world wide, many have been drawn by it to start their Popmart collectibles journey? While there are dozens of characters to fall in love with, a few standout figures have become must-haves among collectors due to their design, emotional depth, or sheer popularity.

Here’s a more focused guide to 5 figures worth hunting down, especially if you’re a fan of Labubu, Molly, or Crybaby.

1. Labubu – Forest Concert Edition

Series: The Monsters – Forest Series
Why it’s a must-have: This Labubu figure showcases a softer side of the usually chaotic character. With a tiny violin in hand and a calm pose, it’s one of the rare versions that captures Labubu’s hidden gentleness. The detailing on the costume, the textured hair, and the dreamy forest theme make it a standout piece in the Labubu V2 lineup.

2. Molly – Space Molly (Classic Silver)

Series: SPACE MOLLY
Why it’s a must-have: Designed by Kenny Wong, Space Molly is arguably the face of Pop Mart’s global identity. The silver edition—with a reflective helmet and minimal color palette—is a favorite for both beginners and long-time fans. It represents Pop Mart’s shift into premium collectible design and often sells out quickly during re-releases.

3. Crybaby – Rainbow Tears Edition

Series: Crybaby – Emotional World
Why it’s a must-have: Crybaby, created by artist Yoyo Yeung, speaks to collectors on an emotional level. The Rainbow Tears edition stands out for its vibrant, multicolored tear streaks—symbolizing complex emotions like sadness, joy, and vulnerability all at once. It’s one of the most photographable pieces in the Crybaby line.

4. Labubu – Halloween Pumpkin Head

Series: The Monsters – Halloween Series
Why it’s a must-have: This limited-edition Labubu is both spooky and hilarious. Dressed as a pumpkin with jagged teeth and an unhinged grin, it perfectly captures the mischievous spirit fans love. Seasonal releases like this one are often harder to find after launch, making them highly collectible.

5. Molly – Museum Series: Girl with a Pearl Earring

Series: Molly x Famous Paintings
Why it’s a must-have: A clever fusion of art and design, this figure reimagines Vermeer’s iconic painting through Molly’s pouty expression. It’s more than just a toy—it’s a conversation starter and a great crossover for art lovers and Pop Mart fans alike.

Final Thought

You don’t need 100 figures to start a great Pop Mart collection. These five are not just beautifully made—they each represent the essence of what makes Pop Mart so addictive: emotion, artistry, storytelling, and just the right amount of weird.

Start with one that speaks to you—then try stopping at just one.
