Are Have a Seat Labubu Figures Discontinued? Here’s What Collectors Are Actually Seeing in 2026

Are Have a Seat Labubu Figures Discontinued? Here’s What Collectors Are Actually Seeing in 2026

Pop Mart’s Labubu series has become one of the most talked-about collectible blind-box toys of the decade. With its quirky designs, blind-box thrill, and intense global demand, Labubu has sparked frenzied restocks, resale markups, and countless community hunts online. But one question keeps popping up: Is the Have a Seat Labubu line discontinued?

Let’s unpack the truth — and it’s a bit more nuanced than a simple yes or no.


📌 What Have a Seat Labubu Actually Is

First, a quick refresher: Have a Seat Labubu is a blind-box series within the broader Labubu lineup, featuring seated, expressive figures from The Monsters universe. Collectors consider it one of the iconic must-have iterations because of its charming poses and display-friendly format. (Labubu)

🧠 Are They Officially Discontinued?

There’s no official statement from Pop Mart declaring Have a Seat discontinued — at least not from the company’s public channels or product announcements. Official product pages still describe the series as part of its lineup, and some third-party retailers show them as authentic blind-box products. (POP MART)

However, what is real — based on community reports and resale listings — is this:

🔹 Some tagged sets are listed as “DISCONTINUED” on secondary marketplaces. For example, a Have a Seat Collection Silk Tag is explicitly described as discontinued and rare by a reseller, highlighting that early-generation figures are no longer produced. (Secondhand Deals)

🔹 Collectors report that official retail stock has become unpredictable or limited. Fans on Reddit have seen their local Pop Mart or official TikTok Shop channels sell out quickly — and sometimes workers reportedly claimed certain Have a Seat items “may not be coming back.” (Reddit)

So while Pop Mart hasn’t officially retired the series, availability strongly suggests that production has slowed or ended for at least some variants. That’s common for blind-box lines once Pop Mart lightens production after an initial run.


🎯 Restocks vs. Full Discontinuation

To understand the situation, collectors widely differentiate between temporary stockouts and true discontinuation:

❗ 1) Temporary Stockouts

Pop Mart frequently experiences rapid sellouts, especially when new drops happen on their app, TikTok Shop, or in-store — often within minutes. Many series have returned for restock cycles in the past after initial sellouts. (Labubu)

🎯 2) Slowed or Ended Production

What appears to be happening now is that Have a Seat figures are not restocking as often as other Labubu series. Community members report long periods without new drops, and some local employees have suggested that pop mart may not restock them regularly. (Reddit)

This pattern suggests production may have slowed or that existing inventory is being cleared out — but not that the series is officially retired.


🧸 Collector Community Signals

The Reddit Labubu community continues to debate this topic:

• Some fans claim their official Pop Mart store staff have hinted that Have a Seat will not return after current stock runs out. (Reddit)

• Others point out that stock behavior is similar to past Labubu blind boxes — quick sellouts followed by unpredictable restocks — and therefore not definitive proof of discontinuation. (Reddit)

• Recent US community reports show that Have a Seat series has popped up on official TikTok Shop and app platforms around the holidays, even after periods of no stock. (Reddit)

So within the fan base, the consensus is:
“Maybe not officially discontinued — but hard to get and not regularly restocked.”


📈 What This Means for Collectors

🪩 1) Market Rarity

Because of limited legitimate availability, some Have a Seat figures can fetch higher prices on resale platforms than they did at retail — especially early versions with silk tags. (Secondhand Deals)

🔐 2) Counterfeit Risk

With scarcity comes imitators. Collectors should be cautious of fakes — known as “lafufu” — which often appear at lower price points and lack authenticity markers (like genuine QR tags and accurate detailing). Articles on spotting fakes highlight how widespread knockoffs have become due to Labubu’s popularity. (The Economic Times)

📦 3) Keep Watching Official Channels

Pop Mart restocks blind boxes unpredictably on their app, official shop sites, and TikTok channels. Even if a variant isn’t currently available, it could return in a future release or restock drop. (Labubu)


🔍 Final Take

So is Have a Seat Labubu discontinued?
Officially?No public announcement from Pop Mart confirms that.
Practically?Yes, production seems drastically slowed or limited, making new figures hard to find and occasionally treated like a discontinued collectible.

Until Pop Mart issues a definitive line retirement notice, collectors should treat Have a Seat as a rare, increasingly coveted series — one that may come back in small restock waves but isn’t being produced at the same volume as before.
