The collector community categorizes Pop Mart's viral Labubu vinyl plush pendants into generations: V1 (Exciting Macaron), V2 (Have a Seat), and V3 (Big into Energy). Official POP MART packaging never uses 'V-numbering'. This guide maps community naming to official product lines, clarifies posture and material differences, and addresses the common misconception surrounding an official 'V4'.
POP MART officially brands each series under unique standalone names rather than version numbers. Collectors globally use "V1, V2, V3" as shorthand to identify the sequential release generations of the 15–17cm vinyl plush pendant format.
| Generation | Official Series Name | Stance & Posture | Distinguishing Fur & Facial Features | Official US MSRP (Single) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V1 | THE MONSTERS - Exciting Macaron | Standing upright (17cm) | Solid pastel dessert colorways (Soymilk, Lychee Berry, Green Grape) | $26.99 (Verified POP MART US) |
| V2 | THE MONSTERS - Have a Seat | Sitting down perched (15cm) | Cozy resting tones, closed/winking eyes (Zizi), internal ABS pelvic core | $26.99 |
| V3 | THE MONSTERS - Big into Energy | Standing dynamic (17cm) | High-contrast multi-tone tie-dye fur, open-eyed energetic expressions | $26.99 |
A frequent search query asks for "Labubu V4." However, POP MART has never designated or released an official V4 blind box series. Collectors on social media occasionally mislabel other releases as "V4":

Direct answers to common collector queries backed by verified manufacturer data.
No. POP MART officially releases each lineup under unique standalone series titles: 'Exciting Macaron' (V1), 'Have a Seat' (V2), and 'Big into Energy' (V3). The V1/V2/V3 numbering is community terminology adopted globally by collectors and resellers.
Official current POP MART US store listings price Exciting Macaron, Have a Seat, and Big into Energy at $26.99 per single blind box and $161.94 for the complete sealed case of 6 boxes.
No. Have a Seat features a molded ABS plastic internal pelvic core engineered specifically to sit stably on flat surfaces. Its legs point forward, unlike V1 and V3 which have downward-facing standing legs.
No. POP MART has never released or designated an official 'V4' series. Collectors sometimes casually use 'V4' when discussing themed releases like Fall in Wild or larger plush dolls like Flip With Me (40cm), but these are separate product lines rather than a numbered blind box pendant generation.
Between early drops and large-scale restocks, POP MART periodically updates packaging typography, tag dimensions, QR code styling, and fabric tags. Subtle tag variations between batches are common; always scan the QR code to authenticate directly through popmart.com.
