Collector vs Cuddler: Choosing the Right Labubu Plush for Your Lifestyle

As you begin your journey in the Labubu universe you either become a collector a cuddler or in most cases a delightful mix of the two Finding the right plush is a balance of these two worlds.

If you enjoy showcasing or photographing your collection or prefer to ‘keep the value’ you should choose collector-leaning vinyl-plush models like THE MONSTERS FLIP WITH ME Vinyl Plush Doll or LABUBU THE MONSTERS FALL IN WILD Vinyl Plush Doll, Vinyl plush dolls tend to keep their shape better than plush dolls and macn and resist fabric flattening. If you have collector items a good tip is to leave a hand’s width gap around these items so no one’s face gets smushed.

On the other hand if you are a cuddler (someone who keeps Labubu on their bed sofa or takes it out of the house), a softer plush like the Labubu 17cm Pelucia Pop Mart is a better choice. These plush dolls also have a tendency to feel more alive than vinyl plush dolls and are also a lot more comforting but do require a bit more maintenance. It is recommended to go over the doll with a lint roller every month or so to keep the plush doll looking clean.

For collectors the Labubu Good Luck To You Limited Plush edition is a tracking middle-of-the-road release. Most collectors put it on display but some interact with it. If you’re going this route, please wash your hands first, Over time the oils on your skin will make the fabric a bit dull.

One style guide is simple enough: Your Labubu should coordinate with your lifestyle.

If you travel a lot go for small or vinyl-reinforced plush If you like interior design consider getting a larger statement piece. If you want a plush for comfort go for the ultra-soft option and be okay with some wear on the plush — it’s all part of the story.

Remember the rarest Labubu isn’t the best The best Labubu is the one that fits naturally into your everyday life whether that’s in your bedroom on your shelf or right next to you.
