“When I began creating THE MONSTERS, I never could have imagined the response and impact they would have,” Kasing Lung, creator of THE MONSTERS. “Partnering with POP MART to bring this celebration to life has been such a joy after seeing how fans have emotionally connected with and built a community around THE MONSTERS over the years.”
This is the first time Lung will be in the U.S., underscoring the significance of this milestone for LABUBU, one of pop culture’s most recognizable IP characters. The exhibition features nine uniquely produced galleries that transport fans through the beginning of THE MONSTERS, including initial sketches of characters like LABUBU, ZIMOMO, and TYCOCO, as well as the evolution of THE MONSTERS series.
“The international response to THE MONSTERS exhibit has been incredible. We’re so excited to bring this experience to the U.S. this summer in what is shaping up to be another monumental year for LABUBU after appearing on the global FIFA stage during the World Cup,” said Emily Brough, Head of IP and Licensing at POP MART. “Fans have shown their love for LABUBU and THE MONSTERS in so many fun ways that this exhibit is a way of honoring that connection and paying tribute to the world Lung created.”
All base entry tickets will receive a commemorative gift, and VIP ticket holders will receive a bundle worth over $130, featuring THE MONSTERS 10th Anniversary Exhibition Limited – Vinyl Plush Blister Pack. At the end of the exhibit, fans will exit through a gift shop where they can purchase items from the entire 10th Anniversary collectibles & accessories collection, while supplies last. Enter the draw for a chance to purchase the 10th Anniversary Exclusives, available for online ticket holders only.
As an added digital experience, Canva, the world’s leading all-in-one visual communication platform, will be teaming up with POP MART to launch THE MONSTERS template collection, where fans can design with LABUBU and the whole crew like never before.
