If you’ve lived in Canberra long enough, you already know this city loves its niche passions — whether it's specialty teas, local artist markets, vintage fashion, or gaming culture. But nothing has taken over the local collectible scene quite like Labubu. And now, with the arrival of the WHY SO SERIOUS Series – Vinyl Plush Pendant Blind Box, the hype is hitting a whole new level. At Valor Hype, we’re just as obsessed as you are. And trust us—this collection is something special.

Whether you’re a long-time Labubu fan, a blind box collector, or someone who just loves ridiculously cute (and slightly creepy) characters, keep reading. Because Canberra… you’re going to want to know about this one.

🌟 Why Labubu Has Become a Canberra Obsession

Labubu isn’t just another collectible figure. It’s a character that mixes innocence with mischief: a little creepy, a little cute, and completely irresistible. What started as a niche art toy trend quickly turned into a global cult following, and Canberra has become one of the most passionate hubs in Australia.

But why here?

1. Canberra loves niche geek culture

From artist pop-ups to gaming conventions and curated boutique stores, Canberra has a tight-knit community that appreciates unique, stylised art. Labubu fits perfectly into that aesthetic.

2. Collectors want something different

Let’s face it—mass-produced figures don’t spark joy the way small-batch designer toys do. Labubu gives fans something rare, character-driven, and beautifully made.

3. Blind boxes make collecting a thrill

The mystery, the anticipation, the surprise—it’s addictive. Blind box culture has become huge in Canberra, and Labubu sits right at the top of wish lists.

Which brings us to the star of today’s post…
