August 1, 2026 — New York, USA
As the global collectible toy community continues to grow, the SWAPBOXO team traveled to New York on August 1, 2026, to attend the LABUBU THE MONSTERS 10th Anniversary Global Tour and experience one of the most influential moments in contemporary designer toy culture.
The event brought together collectors, artists, and fans from around the world to celebrate the 10-year journey of THE MONSTERS, the creative universe behind LABUBU. Through immersive exhibitions, character showcases, and exclusive collectible experiences, the event highlighted how designer toys have evolved from niche collectibles into a global cultural movement.
Exploring the Evolution of a Global Collectible Icon
During the visit, the SWAPBOXO team explored the exhibition spaces and gained deeper insights into LABUBU’s creative development, storytelling, and the emotional connection between collectors and their favorite characters.
Over the past decade, LABUBU has become more than a collectible figure. It represents creativity, individuality, and the personal stories behind every collector’s journey. The growing popularity of designer toys worldwide reflects a new generation of collectors who value art, community, and meaningful experiences.
