written by Qi Qi Team

Introduction

As an avid Labubu enthusiast, building a collection of these mischievous and lovable figures makes you capture the whimsical charm of Kasing Lung’s creations. But collecting Labubus is only half the fun—the real magic begins when you showcase them in a way that highlights their quirky personalities and unique designs.

A well-curated display can bring out the playful essence of Labubu. Meanwhile, it transforms your room into a personal gallery that sparks joy every time you walk in. In this guide, let us explore practical methods, creative arrangements, and care tips to design the ultimate Labubu showcase that will impress others and keep your figures safe.

How to display our Labubu 

Every Labubu deserves a spotlight, but the way you display them makes all the difference. Here are some of the best options:

Display cabinet

The best way to display any collectibles you may have is going to be a dedicated display cabinet. Investing in a high-quality cabinet or glass case will protect your figures from dirt and shield them from potential harm. Any glass or acrylic display case will do the trick and can be selected based on your space and budget. The main focus when selecting a cabinet should be if it offers a clear view of your figures while ensuring their safety.

Shelving Units

Bookshelves and floating shelves are perfect for larger Labubu families. Adjustable shelving means you can accommodate both mini blind box figures and oversized special editions. Floating shelves also give your collection a modern, clean look.

This is a pegboard combination knit that is practical and suitable for labubu lovers who just start to collect pop mart figure.

Creative Displays

For those who want to stand out, consider themed dioramas or even using a PC case as a glowing display space. Imagine Halloween Labubu lit up in purple LEDs or a summer edition Labubu in a beach scene with props—it’s all about fun and creativity.

Curating a Cohesive Display

Theme & Grouping

Arrange by series, edition, or color palette. Group spooky Labubus together or create pastel corners for dreamy designs. Cohesive themes make your display visually stronger. 

Group figures from the same series together to increase the overall aesthetic taste and tell a story through your collection.

A simple idea to display your figures effectively would be to put similar color of pop mart figures in the same row.

Dynamic Composition

Use acrylic risers for height differences and layers. Place minis in front of large figures for a playful sense of scale. Angling figures slightly can add depth and energy.

Complement with Art & Props

Frame Kasing Lung’s sketches or add props like toy plants and small furniture. Props help tell a story and give your Labubus a world to live in.


Lighting for Maximum Impact

Natural Light: Brightens your display naturally, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

LED Strips: Easy to install, flexible, and great for warm or cool lighting themes.

Spotlights: Perfect for highlighting centerpiece or rare figures.

Experiment with colors: pinks and purples create a magical mood, while blues and greens add mystery.

Maintenance & Care

Dusting

Even with a cabinet, dust builds up. Use compressed air, a soft brush, or a microfiber cloth for regular cleaning.

Handling

Always wash your hands before touching figures, or wear gloves. Avoid oils or scratches on the paint.

Securing Figures

Museum putty or earthquake putty keeps figures stable and prevents accidents, especially on open shelves.

 

Final Thoughts

Labubu isn’t just a collectible—it’s art with mischief and heart. The way you display them reflects your creativity as a collector. Whether you use a sleek cabinet, playful diorama, or themed shelf, your Labubu family will light up your space and bring smiles to anyone who sees them.

Collector’s Tip: Switch up your display from time to time. Rotating themes or rearranging figures keeps your collection feeling fresh and exciting.
