Labubu keychains and pendants are the most accessible entry point into Pop Mart collecting. They are affordable, portable, and endlessly collectible. Whether you attach them to your bag, keys, or lanyard, these small-format figures let you carry a piece of THE MONSTERS universe wherever you go.
Hanging Card Dolls vs. Blind Box Keychains
Pop Mart offers two main formats for small Labubu figures:
- Hanging card dolls — sold in open packaging, you can see exactly which design you are getting. These are typically larger (around 10-12cm) and come on a decorative card backing.
- Blind box keychains — sold in sealed boxes, the design is a surprise. These are smaller (around 5-7cm) and come with a ball chain or lobster clasp.
Let’s Checkmate Series — Hanging Card Doll
The Let’s Checkmate hanging card doll features Labubu in a chess-inspired design on a decorative card. This is a known design — no surprises, just the figure you want.
The chess theme gives this piece a sophisticated look that stands out from the more playful designs in the lineup.
Big into Energy Series — Vinyl Plush Pendant
The Big into Energy pendant captures Labubu in an energetic, dynamic pose. This blind box keychain series features multiple possible designs, each showing a different power-up theme.
How to Display Keychains
Even small figures deserve a great display. Here are some popular approaches:
- Lanyard display — clip multiple keychains onto a display lanyard hung on the wall
- Pegboard — use small hooks on a pegboard for a colorful, organized arrangement
- Shadow box — arrange keychains in a deep frame with a fabric backing
- Bag charm rotation — swap keychains on your everyday bag to match your mood
Caring for Your Keychains
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight which can fade colors
- Clean vinyl faces gently with a damp microfiber cloth
- Keep ball chains and clasps dry to prevent tarnishing
- Store spare keychains in individual small bags to prevent scratching
