Things are moving fast in The Monsters world with new drops coming in hot just weeks apart. This includes an almost white Angel In Clouds Zimomo doll, the unique Labubu Sketch and a Halloween edition Mokoko. Rumours are also swirling in regards to a possible Labubu version three (V3) series. Ready to get up to date on all of The Monsters’ happenings? Read on.
01 - There’s a new Zimomo doll in town and it is only the second ever Pop Mart has created. In The Monsters – Angel In Clouds Vinyl Face Doll (SGD299.90), the leader of the Labubu tribe appears for the first time in fluffy silver-grey fur with silver-grey tips. Almost a creamy white colour, its fur resembles a silver shaded British shorthair cat.
He (yes, he, because according to the creator Kasing Lung, all Zimomo are male and Labubu are female) comes complete with a pair of metallic silver wings on his back, which is adjustable for that perfect pose. This Zimomo also features unique silver accents, which extend from his slidable eyes, nose and a tooth, to his pointy ears, tail spikes and even toenails. Cute!
02 - Speaking of Labubu, there’s a new Pop Mart Mega Labubu Sketch that’s pretty unique. As its name suggests, this Labubu exchanges its fur for a texture that mimics the feel of sketch paper. It even has the pencil marks to match.
This collectible is available in two sizes, with a head that can turn. There’s the 400% (SGD299.90) that stands at 35 cm and 1000% (SGD1499.90) that is 80 cm tall. The latter is even equipped with an NFC chip for authentication with an NFC-enabled smartphone.
03 - Rumour has it that the Labubu The Monsters – Tasty Macarons Vinyl Face Blind Box, more commonly referred to as version one or V1, may be discontinued. In its place, a possible version 3 or V3 may be coming soon.
Word on the street suggests that V3 will feature Labubus dressed as animals including a penguin, shark, crab, amongst others. Fact or fiction? Only time will tell. Keep crossing those fingers!

04 - For those still gunning for a Labubu from The Monsters – Tasty Macarons Vinyl Face Blind Box series, there are some favourites to know. The most popular Labubu from the original series is Toffee, whose colour is the closest to the rare secret Chestnut Cocoa. Another is Lychee Berry because everyone loves pink. Which V1 Labubu is your favourite?
05 - Version two, The Monsters – Have A Seat Vinyl Plush Blind Box, which features Labubus in a seated position, seems to have been even harder to get than V1. The most popular from the V2 series are Dada in pink with heart-shaped eyes. A close second is Baba, that many say feel like a puppy, kitten or even hamster due to her light brown fur.
06 - Lastly, there’s a new Halloween edition Mokoko to have on your radar. Though she is part of the Labubu tribe, Mokoko is characterised by her pastel pink fur. She is also a Pop Land (the Pop Mart theme park in Beijing, China) exclusive.
Named The Monsters – Magic Of Pumpkin Vinyl Plush Pendant, this special Mokoko dresses for the occasion in black and orange, complete with a frontal black bow. The style is complete with a tall pointy witch hat in matching colours that features her signature flower. While she still comes scented, her clothes and hat aren’t removable so you won’t be able to dress her as you wish.
