Labubu didn't ask to take over the world, but here we are. The little pointy-eared monsters from Kasing Lung's How2Work series have completely dominated TikTok, sold out drops on the Pop Mart site within minutes, and now hang off the bags of every cool girl in London. They're chaotic, slightly menacing, and impossibly cute all at once.
With dozens of variants to choose from, ranking them is a bold move. We did it anyway. Here are the cutest Labubu characters, ranked.
1. Classic Labubu
The original. Pointy ears, jagged grin, oversized eyes, and the kind of face that says "I'm definitely up to something." The classic Labubu is the one that started the whole obsession, and there's no beating the OG. Available in dozens of colours but the cream one is the purist's pick.
2. Pink Sweet Labubu

If the classic Labubu is the chaotic friend, Pink Sweet is the soft-girl version. All pastel, fluffy texture, and a face that's slightly less terrifying. Lives on the corner of every desk it ends up on.
Genuinely the most photogenic of the bunch. The one your camera roll will thank you for.
3. Have a Seat Labubu
The series where Labubu just sits there looking adorable. Comes in vibes ranging from "sleepy" to "judging you" to "contemplating life." Every variant in this drop is collectable, but the rose-coloured one is the unspoken winner.
4. Macaron Series Labubu
The pastel French patisserie drop. Each Labubu is dressed as a different macaron flavour, and yes, that's as iconic as it sounds. Pistachio is the standout. The whole series looks like it belongs in a bakery window in Paris.
5. Big Into Energy Labubu
Cute Monsters and Stars phone case, available at Fun Cases
The one wearing oversized streetwear. Big jumper, big trainers, big attitude. This is the Labubu for people who think pastels are too soft. Vibe is "tiny rapper" and it absolutely works.
Top pick if you want your Labubu to look slightly more menacing on your bag.
6. Time to Chill Labubu
Labubu with a hot chocolate, a tiny blanket, and the energy of someone who hasn't left the sofa in three days. Relatable. The brown and cream colour palette is unmatched.
7. Exciting Macaron Mini
The smaller, blind-box version of the Macaron series. Worth collecting just to line them all up on your shelf. The thrill of the unboxing is half the experience.
8. Tasty Macarons Mini
More macarons because you can never have enough. The yellow lemon one is the underrated pick. Smaller than the regular Labubus, easier to fit on a bag charm, just as cute.
9. Fall in Wild Labubu
The cottagecore Labubu. Mushrooms, leaves, autumn colours, the works. If your aesthetic is rural and gloomy in the best way, this is your Labubu.
10. The Monsters Coca-Cola Series
Yes, Pop Mart did a Coca-Cola collab. Yes, it's brilliant. Yes, you need one. Comes in that perfect retro red and white, and they sold out faster than tickets to anything Taylor Swift has ever done.
Welcome to the Labubu Cult
The ranking will be debated, the drops will keep selling out, and your bag will only ever look right with one of these little gremlins hanging off it. That's just the rules now.
If you want the cute monster energy on your phone too, our Labubu-inspired phone case collection has pattern designs that channel the same chaotic-cute vibe. Pair one with a plushie on your bag and you're sorted.
