The Basics
Released: July 12, 2024 Size: 8 x 7 x 15 cm Price: $21.99 per box / $131.94 full set
Have A Seat is the second major Labubu blind box series—nicknamed V2. While V1 (Exciting Macaron) had standing Labubus, this series features them seated. Same 9 teeth, same pointed ears, but now they're sitting down and staring at you.
What Makes V2 Different from V1
| Feature | V1 (Exciting Macaron) | V2 (Have A Seat) |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Standing | Seated |
| Material | Standard plush | Softer, furrier |
| Expressions | Single expression | 3 expressions per design |
| Buckle | Standard | Color-matched |
| Release | October 2023 | July 2024 |
The seated position makes these more shelf-stable. No wobbling, no tipping over. Collectors display them in rows.

How to Spot Fakes
At these resale prices, counterfeits flooded the market immediately. Five things to check:
1. Box Texture Real V2 boxes have a subtle tactile grain. Run your fingers across—you'll feel small raised patterns. Fakes are flat or glossy with grid patterns.
2. ID Card Quality Authentic cards have razor-sharp printing with consistent pastel colors. Fake cards look pixelated, with faded text or ink bleeding at edges.
3. Inner Bag Material Real bags have a matte finish that doesn't reflect light. Fakes use cheap glossy film that glints under lamps.
4. Face Seam Quality Authentic Labubus have uniform facial seams with perfectly aligned stitches. Fakes show uneven gaps, loose threads, or puckering around eyes and mouth.
5. Foot Stamp Turn it over. Real ones have deeply engraved stamps with crisp lines on the sole. Fakes have shallow impressions with blurred edges.
Pro tip: Use a magnifying glass on the foot stamp. The symmetry tells you everything.

Display Tips
The seated position is perfect for:
- Desk displays (stable, won't knock over)
- Tiered shelving (easy to stack rows)
- Bookshelf photography (clean background)
- Group shots (they look like they're hanging out)
Some collectors buy acrylic risers to create stadium-style seating with their V2 collection.
Should You Collect Have A Seat?
Yes if you:
- Want stable shelf displays
- Prefer the cleaner aesthetic (no costumes)
- Are building a complete Labubu collection
- See resale potential as a bonus
Maybe skip if you:
- Already have V1 and don't need both
- Prefer themed/costumed versions
- Don't want to gamble on DUODUO odds
The series is considered essential for serious Labubu collectors. The seated design became iconic enough that later series borrowed elements from it.
