Unboxing the Labubu 'Have a Seat' Series: A Collector's Delight

Table of Contents

Hey everyone, Today, we're diving into the whimsical world of Labubu with an unboxing and review of the 'Have a Seat' series box set. The hype around these adorable creatures is real, and I had to experience it firsthand. Let's explore these charming pendant dolls and uncover what makes them so popular!

What are Labubu?

Labubu are a series of collectible pendant dolls produced by Pop Mart. They come in various series, each with unique themes and designs. The 'Have a Seat' series features Labubu characters in a seated position, distinguishing them from other series where they are standing.

Acquiring the Labubu Box Set

I managed to snag this box set through the Pop Mart app. By following and favoriting the product, I received a notification and quickly made the purchase. Picking it up locally was the best option. For those not near a store, the reseller market might be the way to go, though it's not ideal.

What's Inside the 'Have a Seat' Box?

The 'Have a Seat' box set includes six different Labubu pendant dolls. The box itself is sealed in cellophane and features cute depictions of the Labubu characters on the front. The characters in this series include:

Hei: A laughing character with gray fur.
Cece: A chick-yellow, also laughing.
Dada: A frowning yet still laughing character.
Zezy: A purple laughing character.
Baba: A rare character (though not the rarest!).
A Cute: A character with a distinctive eyelash.

Personally, I'm drawn to Dada with his frowny-smiley face and mischievous look.

'Have a Seat' vs. Other Labubu Series

The 'Have a Seat' series stands out because all the characters are in a seated position. Other series include the 'Big into Energy' series, where the Labubu characters are standing and have pastel tie-dye fur, and the 'Macaroon' series, which features characters with more general fur colors, also standing. The 'Have a Seat' series is unique in its seated design.

Unboxing Experience

Time to get into the unboxing! The box has tabs and perforations, possibly designed to turn it into a display case. Be careful of fake Labubu dolls, or 'Lafufus,' which can be found in dollar stores. Authentic Labubu dolls come directly from Pop Mart.

Inside, each Labubu is housed in its own cream-peach colored box, adorned with the Monsters branding in white. The 'Have a Seat' logo on my box was gold, which was different from the green I saw on the website during purchase.

A Closer Look at Hei

Each individual Labubu box has an MSRP of about $21.99 plus tax. Inside the box, the Labubu is sealed in a bag with a card indicating which character is inside and a desiccant bag. I was hoping for Dada or Baba, but I got Hei, the laughing guy with gray fur.

The fur quality is excellent, and the Labubu features a clasp, a Pop Mart monsters-branded strap, a tush tag, posable arms, a posable head, and posable toes.

Are Labubu Worth the Hype?

So, are Labubu going to become even more popular? Only time will tell! I'm still hoping to add Dada and Baba to my collection. Let me know in the comments which Labubu you were hoping to see in this unboxing!

Where to Buy Authentic Labubu:

Pop Mart App: The best way to secure authentic Labubu, especially if you can pick them up locally.
Official Pop Mart Stores: Purchasing directly from the store guarantees authenticity.
Resell Market: Use with caution due to the prevalence of fake Labubu dolls.

Spotting Fake Labubu ('Lafufus'):

Check the Strap: Authentic Labubu straps are branded with Pop Mart monsters.
Fur Quality: Real Labubu dolls have high-quality fur.
Retailer: Purchase from reputable sources like Pop Mart to avoid fakes.
