For a street and skate style, the French EQSO The Crew blind box offers six vinyl characters and a secret figure.<\/p><\/aside><div class=\"prose j-body\" data-astro-cid-4cnmyude><p><strong>Labubu<\/strong> has become a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/en\/blog\/why-is-labubu-so-popular\">phenomenon<\/a>: queues outside stores, series sold out in minutes, little monsters dangling from celebrities\u2019 bags. This sharp-toothed character, created by artist <strong>Kasing Lung<\/strong> in The Monsters universe and popularised by <strong>Pop Mart<\/strong>, introduced millions of people to <strong>blind boxes<\/strong>. But it is often impossible to find\u2026 and the art toy world is much bigger. Here are <strong>eight blind box series to discover<\/strong> if you love Labubu.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1-skullpanda-pop-mart\">1. Skullpanda (Pop Mart)<\/h2>\n<p>A darker, more poetic universe, released in series with very varied themes. Perfect if you like Labubu\u2019s slightly strange side, with more mystery.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-hirono-pop-mart\">2. Hirono (Pop Mart)<\/h2>\n<p>A melancholic-looking little boy, released in highly expressive series. Fans love him for his emotions, far from \u201cjust cute\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-crybaby-pop-mart\">3. Crybaby (Pop Mart)<\/h2>\n<p>Characters with clearly visible tears, somewhere between tenderness and irony. A good lead if you like blind boxes that tell a story.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-dimoo-pop-mart\">4. Dimoo (Pop Mart)<\/h2>\n<p>A dreamy little character with cloud-shaped hair, often in very colourful series. Softer than Labubu, but just as collected.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5-smiski\">5. Smiski<\/h2>\n<p>Small Japanese <strong>glow-in-the-dark<\/strong> figures that hide in the corners of your home. Discreet, funny and perfect for a shelf or a desk.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"6-sonny-angel\">6. Sonny Angel<\/h2>\n<p>Little Japanese cherubs wearing hats (animals, fruit, flowers\u2026). A blind box classic, loved for its simplicity and seasonal series.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7-dunny-kidrobot\">7. Dunny (Kidrobot)<\/h2>\n<p>A rabbit silhouette that became one of the icons of <strong>designer toys<\/strong>, reinterpreted by many artists in blind box series. For those who want to move towards artist-made art toys.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"8-eqso-the-crew-popterror\">8. EQSO The Crew (Popterror)<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>French blind box<\/strong>, designed in Lille by our father-and-son duo. Six 8-9 cm vinyl characters, somewhere between <strong>skateboarding, graffiti and street culture<\/strong>: Skully, Vandal, Purple, Cherry, Supagreen and Cyclo, plus a <strong>secret figure<\/strong> at one in a hundred. You can buy a single box for \u20ac18 or the <strong>full set<\/strong> of six boxes with no duplicates. If Labubu made you love the surprise, EQSO The Crew takes you into a more street universe.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"g-fig vertical\" data-astro-cid-bi2cfy22><picture class=\"pic\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set.jpg\" alt=\"Display of 6 EQSO The Crew blind boxes with the purple figure in front\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"wp-image-3815\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1200 \/ 1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-324x324.jpg 324w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Blind-box-set-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/picture><figcaption data-astro-cid-bi2cfy22>The display of six EQSO The Crew blind boxes, Popterror\u2019s French blind box.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"quick-comparison\">Quick comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<table><thead><tr><th>Series<\/th><th>Creator or brand<\/th><th>Style<\/th><th>Who is it for?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Labubu<\/td><td>Kasing Lung \u00b7 Pop Mart<\/td><td>Cute and strange<\/td><td>The phenomenon of the moment<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Skullpanda<\/td><td>Pop Mart<\/td><td>Dark and poetic<\/td><td>Fans of mysterious universes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hirono<\/td><td>Pop Mart<\/td><td>Melancholic<\/td><td>Emotion lovers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crybaby<\/td><td>Pop Mart<\/td><td>Tender and quirky<\/td><td>Story lovers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dimoo<\/td><td>Pop Mart<\/td><td>Dreamy and colourful<\/td><td>Fans of softness<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Smiski<\/td><td>Japan<\/td><td>Glow-in-the-dark, discreet<\/td><td>Desks and small shelves<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sonny Angel<\/td><td>Japan<\/td><td>Cherubs with hats<\/td><td>Series collectors<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dunny<\/td><td>Kidrobot<\/td><td>Artist designer toy<\/td><td>Artist-made art toys<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EQSO The Crew<\/td><td>Popterror (France)<\/td><td>Street, skate, graffiti<\/td><td>Street culture fans<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-choose-your-next-blind-box\">How to choose your next blind box<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Style over trend<\/strong>: choose the universe that speaks to you, you will keep it longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The odds<\/strong>: a serious brand shows the odds of each character and of the secret one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The full set<\/strong>: if you want the whole series, check that a duplicate-free display exists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Official retailers<\/strong>: successful series are often faked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To understand secret figures and odds, read our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popterror.com\/en\/blog\/how-do-blind-boxes-work\">how blind boxes work<\/a>.
