What's "Labubu 1.0"?

Simply, "Labubu 1.0" isn't an official name from Kasing Lung or Pop Mart. It’s a fan-bestowed nickname, a piece of collector shorthand for Labubu.

The term "Labubu 1.0" refers to one specific, wildly popular series: THE MONSTERS - Exciting Macaron Vinyl Face Blind Box.

This collection released at October 27, 2023. It made serious waves. Why the "1.0" moniker? Many collectors saw this series as a significant new starting point or a "version 1.0" of a new style. Thanks to its unique vinyl face design, which was a departure from the full-flocked or standard vinyl figures of the past. It set a new standard, and the name just stuck.

LABUBU V1.0 Exciting Macaron Series Details

So, what was in the box that earned it such a milestone nickname?

The "Exciting Macaron" series is a classic blind box lineup. The core concept is right in the name: the figures feature soft, pastel "macaron" colorways, and their faces are made of a distinct, smooth vinyl, giving them a unique, expressive, and glossy look.

The full set consists of:

  • 6 Regular Figures
  • 1 Secret Edition

The six regular figures (like Soymilk, Lychee Berry, and Green Grape) are all based on those delicate pastry colors. The secret, as always, is a unique design that breaks the theme, making it the ultimate hunt for collectors. This combination of a new face texture and a killer color palette is what made the series an instant classic.
