Ever wondered why there are so many different Labubus from Pop Mart? Well, it’s because The Monsters’ creator Kasing Lung was inspired by The Smurfs. Just like the animated series where Papa Smurf leads many Smurfs, there too are many Labubu elves following their leader, Zimomo.
Some Labubus, like The Monsters – Tasty Macarons Vinyl Face Blind Box (a.k.a V1) and The Monsters – Have A Seat Vinyl Plush Blind Box (a.k.a V2), come without clothes. This allows you to make your Labubu truly your own if you wish, by dressing her up in custom outfits.
But there are Labubus that come ready dressed in fashionable gear to add more fun to your daily life. These usually are larger collector-edition plush dolls with articulated limbs. You can move and twist them however you like to achieve the pose and set up of your dreams.
Ready to dive right in? Here are the eight Labubus which come wearing adorable outfits all ready to go.
01 - Firstly, from the latest release from July 2024 comes The Monsters – Flip With Me Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD109.90). Measuring 40 cm tall, the plush doll has cream-coloured fur. Her smart get-up comprises black-rimmed glasses, a blue and white pinstripe shirt, jeans and sneakers.
Named for a special flip-eye feature, this Labubu makes four different expressions: confused, expectant, aggrieved and heart-struck, so you can adjust them according to your mood.
02 - Another popular creation is The Monsters – Fall In Wind Series that’s ready for any adventure. First seen in April 2024, this Labubu sports hair in a chic shade of grey. She wears a trendy bucket hat and a white shirt with denim overalls.
She ventures into the untamed wilderness in two sizes, each with slightly different details. Firstly, a smaller 17 cm Vinyl Plush Doll Pendant (SGD37.90) with a flower embellishment. The second is a 40 cm standing Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD109.90) that comes with extra rain boots. Too cute.
03 - Valentine’s Day 2024 saw a special The Monsters – Catch Me If You Like Me Series – Vinyl Doll Gift Box (SGD129.90). She dons a grunge-inspired outfit, complete with a bow headband. Her oversized t-shirt comes in either pink or black, with boots to match.
All about cosy companionship, the 38 cm Labubu is seen with Tycoco, her shy boyfriend with a skeleton appearance.
04 - A special cuddly companion was also released for Lunar New Year 2024. Dressed for the prosperous occasion, The Monsters – Best Of Luck Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD109.90) with white fur wears a red Labubu sweater, black pants and shoes.
The 38 cm Labubu not only infuses any space with a touch of luck and joy. Her posable hands also make it perfect for holding mini decorations.

05 - There’s truly a Labubu for every season. Case in point, The Monsters – Dress Be Latte Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD109.90) that first appeared during the fall-winter 2023 season. As the name suggests, her outfit comes in shades of latte. Complete with a furry bucket hat, knit shirt, scarf, pants, shoulder bag and shoes.
Another detail worth noting? Also 38 cm tall, the winter wonderland-ready doll has slidable eyes that allow her to gaze in different directions.
06 - If you’re looking for a cool Labubu, be sure to have your radar on The Monsters – Jump For Joy Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD109.90). The 38 cm fluffy Labubu with a galaxy grey coat swaggers in a bomber jacket embroidered with The Monsters logo. Cargo pants and boots complete the ensemble.
Though it’s been a while since it launched in May 2023, this outfit makes Labubu look more huggable than ever. And if her fur ever gets flat from too much hugging, you can always give her a comb out to restore her to that fluffy glory.

07 - With a name like The Monsters – Labubu Time To Chill Vinyl Plush Doll (SGD89.90), expect this 37 cm darling to recharge your spirits with some major cuteness.
Her casual grey cotton hoodie and trendy dark blue overalls reflect her leisurely mood. It’s an excellent reminder to take a moment to unwind while on your hunt for those covetable Labubus.
08 - Besides those that don everyday wear, there is a special Labubu that comes in a non-removable costume. Coined Merbubu, this Singapore-exclusive Labubu Hide And Seek In Singapore Series – Vinyl Plush Doll Pendant (SGD37.90).
It’s quite literally hide-and-seek with this elusive keychain charm that dresses in a light blue Merlion-inspired outfit. Like the official mascot of Singapore, this Labubu sports a cute fish tail instead of legs. It also features a large and small pearl on its chest for extra kawaii points.
