Crybaby Figures Trend: Labubu Fades as New Collectible Craze Takes Over

It seems the days when Labubu figures ruled celebrity shelves and fan feeds are slowly fading. In their place, a new collectible star is quietly stealing the spotlight — Crybaby figures.

Labubu once rode a huge wave of hype for its quirky, slightly eerie look and rare collab editions. But trends move fast in the designer toy scene, and Crybaby figures are now the next big obsession — winning over not just hardcore collectors but big-name idols, too.

A perfect example is Lisa, long known for her Labubu love, who’s now adding Crybaby figures to her personal collection. Fans say the appeal is Crybaby’s sad-but-cute vibe — a tiny figure with a signature tear duct that many owners customize for an even more unique feel.

Unlike Labubu, which was often carried around or displayed openly as a cute mascot, Crybaby figures are usually kept tucked away — more of a hidden treasure than a daily flex. But behind closed doors, the demand is fierce. Some rare “Secret (?)” editions are already reselling for up to twelve times the original price.

Those who sensed the shift early locked in rare Crybaby pieces before the hype hit the mainstream. Now, with more celebrities subtly showing off their new Crybaby finds, it’s clear this moody collectible has become a quiet status symbol among K-pop idols and pop culture fans alike.

Whether you’re drawn to Crybaby’s melancholic charm or just hunting for the next big collectible, this rising figure trend proves once again how fast the designer toy world evolves — and why true collectors are always watching for the next must-have drop.
