Blind boxes have become quite the big deal as of late. I personally can’t go a day without being fed Labubu content on Instagram or seeing a furry creature swinging from a stranger’s belt loop or bag. But there’s a reason why there’s a widespread obsession with these tiny figurines. Each blind box character has its own flair, and you won’t know which iteration you’re going to get until you rip open the packaging. The anticipation of the final reveal, along with wanting to collect them all, on top of making them a fashion statement or seeing your favorite celebrity wearing one, all contribute to its mass appeal.
But which blind boxes should you buy online? We’ve picked out eight options that are trending or on the rise. You’ve got Sonny Angel and Smiski, the two OGs that put blind boxes on everyone’s radar in the past few years. You’ve also got Labubus, which folks can’t get enough of at the moment. And if you’re looking for a more unique design, you might want to check out Hirono because Kim Taehyung from BTS has one. Or perhaps you want a darker, more mysterious character, like a Skullpanda
. No matter your style and preference, there’s bound to be a blind box for you (and your fellow collectors) on this list. Each figure has a different look and story, and thankfully, you can buy them all online.
Where can I buy blind boxes online?
Amazon should be your first stop for official and unofficial versions, especially if you want free, fast shipping (just one of the many perks of being a Prime member). However, StockX might have slightly lower prices. Pop Mart characters can usually be found on Amazon and StockX, and sometimes Walmart. Meanwhile, Dreams Inc. toys—à la Sonny Angel and Smiski—can be harder to find online, with your best bet being third-party sellers on Amazon.
What are the best blind boxes to buy online?
It really depends on your style and preference. If you want a more mainstream look, go with a Sonny Angel
, Smiski
, or Labubu
. To stand out from the crowd and be a trendsetter, clip on a Hirono
or Hacipupu
. As I mentioned before, each blind box figure has its own unique charms, so pick one that best suits your vibe. Keep scrolling to see what they look like and hear their backstories.
Labubu
The most popular blind box of 2025 is without a doubt The Monsters, also known as Labubus. Celebrities, like Lisa from BLACKPINK, Lady Gaga, and Naomi Osaka have their own plush toys, while collectors have been buying and reselling these critters at an unbelievable pace and price. The Labubu craze doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon, as new, mainstream, and rare editions are all in high demand, and fans often look for clothing and event advent calendars to accompany their cute yet scary figurines. If you’re a blind box newbie, Labubus are definitely the best place to start. There are a decent amount of options for buying them online, with the most reliable ones being Amazon, Walmart, and StockX. Just be sure to scoop up the ones you want ASAP, since The Monsters tend to sell out in a jiffy.
POP MART The Monsters Wacky Mart Series Blind Box Figures
Most The Monsters series are currently sold out on Amazon, but Wacky Mart blind boxes are still available to shop right this second. This series contains 12 blind box figures, and if you get lucky, you might get the secret edition. Aren’t the milk carton, Cup of Noodle, shrimp tempura, and onigiri versions the most adorable things you’ve ever laid eyes on?
Hirono
If you want to get ahead of the blind box trends and go for a more unique option (AKA, not a Labubu, Sonny Angel, or Smiski), Hirono figures are poised to dethrone Labubus. Even BTS’ Taehyung is hopping on the bandwagon, as he was spotted with the Living Wild-Fight for Joy Plush Doll
on his airport bag in early October 2025. Chinese contemporary artist Lang brought Hirono to life in 2021 and has released nine series and plenty of non-series characters and collaborations since its inception. Each figurine captures an emotion, both the good, bad, and complex ones. “Lang aims to highlight the subtle fluctuations of life, its ups and downs, and attempts to freeze in time the elusive feelings that reveal our true character – love, joy, sadness, fear, kindness, cowardice, and others. Hirono is the epitome of growth, and a personification of profound human emotions,” according to Pop Mart’s website.
Pop Mart Hirono Living Wild-Fight for Joy Plush Doll
I’m still shocked this doll is still in stock, since K-pop star V was spotted with one recently. Snag this Hirono character before fans sell it out and prices surge (it’s already more expensive than a typical Hirono).
Sonny Angel
Cheeky Sonny Angel figurines from Japanese toy company Dreams Inc. seem to be the blind boxes that started it all in the past few years. The naked baby angel boy character with whimsical headgear comes in different forms—from regular, mini dolls to the popular Hippers, which are designed to hang from your phone or laptop with a square of adhesive tape. The series I’ve seen the most are the animal ones, though you can’t go wrong with the snack, sweets, flower, and vegetable series.
Dreams Inc. Sonny Angel HIPPERS – Original Mini Figure/Limited Edition – 1 Sealed Blind Box
On Sale 21% off
It’s important to note that this Hipper blind box is sold by an third-party seller on Amazon. However, it does have over 1,300 reviews to back it up and has earned a 4.4-star overall rating from shoppers who have ordered the product online. Will you get the panda, deer, bunny, or mouse? You’ll just have to buy one (or multiple) for yourself. Pro tip: Shop them in bulk in case you don’t get the version you want, or so you can unbox them with friends and trade!
Smiski
After Sonny Angel came Smiski, tiny figurines created by Dreams Inc. The green blobs are known to hide in small spaces and corners of your room—or in a display case, if you’re a serious collector. Each series centers around activities from daily life, whether it’s sleeping, exercising, or working. But what makes these characters stand out from its counterparts is that they glow in the dark. Arrange a few on your nightstand for a subtle glow as you doze off and dream of opening more blind boxes.
Dreams Inc. Smiski Glow in The Dark Figure, Bed Series, Random Style, 1 Pack
There are six characters to uncover in the Bed Series, along with one secret edition. You might get storytelling Smiski (reading a book), sleepy Smiski (holding a pillow), relaxing Smiski (wearing a night cap and holding a mug), or even crying Smiski (weeping with its hands over its eyes). Similar to the Sonny Angel above, this blind box is sold by a third-party seller, but boasts over 800 shopper reviews and has a near-perfect rating on Amazon.
Crybaby
Crybaby is another Pop Mart favorite, easily recognizable by its big eyes, puffy cheeks, and of course, stream of tears. Thai artist Molly Yllom designed her first Crybaby in 2017 and was inspired by her pet (this Pop Mart Instagram post goes into more detail about Yllom and her creations). The characters display emotions we can all relate to, so the next time you feel waterworks coming, whip out your Crybaby and remember that it’s ok to laugh, cry, or all of the above. Everyone does it! Check out the artist’s trendy designs and collaborations (the Powerpuff Girls
one is a must-buy).
POP MART Crybaby Tears Factory Series
This Crybaby’s headgear and outfits are too precious. You might get a bunny or duck, or maybe even the one that resembles Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
Pucky
Pop Mart’s Pucky, designed by Pucky the Hong Kong-based artist, is an interesting blind box because it’s named after Puck, the fairy in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The artist’s creations explores fantasy, nature, the spiritual world, and the real world. The figure portrays a more colorful, dreamy side, but also has a darker side.
POP MART PUCKY Roly-Poly Kitty Series
is to die for and reminds me of fictional character Gudetama.
Hacipupu
Cute, childish characters in furry, animal suits and accessories seem to be a common theme for blind boxes. Hacipupu is another example, as this figurine is a wide-eyed little boy in a cozy bear suit, according to this Instagram post from Pop Mart’s Indonesia account. “He chats with his toys, befriends little animals, and finds happiness in the smallest joys,” the post says, adding, “He reminds us to embrace the simple things.” Who’s the mastermind behind Hacipupu? Agee and Yep, a powerful duo of toy designers and artists who prefer to show the world who they are through their creations.
POP MART HACIPUPU Gummy Bear Series
Want a blind box figurine that’s colorful and cuddly? The Hacipupu Gummy Bear Series reminds me of Care Bears. And unlike Labubus, they’re not scary at all—100% cuteness overload!
Skullpanda
Brought to life by Chinese designer Xiong Miao for Pop Mart, Skullpandas have an edgier, darker, and more mysterious flair. Pop Mart’s website describes them as, “It travels freely between planets, looks for itself, plays different roles and experiences different lives.” They have distinct hair and makeup styles, along with a unique sense of style. Some of the figures feel a little extraterrestrial or otherworldly, which will be sure to capture people’s attention if you have one dangling from your purse.
POP MART SKULLPANDA You Found Me! Series Plush Doll Pendant Blind Box Figures
The You Found Me! Skullpandas look like furballs from another planet. I love how they have different colored hair and eyes, topped with heavy blush. It’s hard to tell exactly what they are, but what I do know is that they’re at the top of my wishlist if I were to order any of the options in this roundup.
