The KUBO Breathing In Series is the release that put POP MART's KUBO character on serious collectors' radars. Launched on July 19, 2024, it's a blind box line of 12 non-repeating designs plus a secret, with figures standing 6.5–9.3 cm (2.6–3.7 in) tall in ABS/PVC. A single box is $25.00 USD at Fluffy Monster Room, and a whole set of 12 is available as its own option. Straight to it? Here's the KUBO Breathing In product page.

What "Breathing In" is about
KUBO is POP MART's helmeted, sculptural art-toy character — deliberately faceless, which is what lets each series project a completely different mood onto the same silhouette. Breathing In is the calm one. Where City of Sunset leans post-apocalyptic and Angel's Poem leans ethereal, Breathing In is about pause: stillness, quiet postures, the small moment of taking a breath.
That restraint is why it aged well. Two years after release it still reads as contemporary rather than trend-chasing, and it remains the entry point most KUBO collectors recommend to newcomers — the designs are legible at a glance, and nothing in the set feels like filler.
The 12 + 1 structure, honestly explained
Each box holds one figure. POP MART states plainly that a whole set of 12 contains 12 non-repeating designs, and that the chance of drawing the secret varies from set to set — meaning there is no guaranteed secret in any given case. That's an unusually candid disclosure, and it's worth taking at face value: do not buy a whole set expecting the secret.
| Buying route | Cost | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Single box | $25.00 | 1 random of 12, plus a secret chance |
| Whole set (12 boxes) | Set price on product page | All 12 designs, no duplicates — secret not guaranteed |
| Secret edition (direct) | Listed separately | The chase figure, no gambling |
The practical rule: if you want the complete display row, buy the set — it's the only route that guarantees no duplicates. If you want the secret, buy the secret directly. Buying singles hoping to hit both is the most expensive path to either.

Three reasons this series holds up:
- Size variance is a feature. The 6.5–9.3 cm spread means a completed row has natural rhythm instead of looking like twelve identical clones.
- It's the KUBO baseline. Every later KUBO series is, in some way, a reaction to Breathing In. Owning it makes the rest of the line legible.
- Material quality. ABS/PVC with clean seams — noticeably better finishing than the average $25 blind box tier.
The counterpoint: as an older release it isn't a hype play. If you're buying for resale, this is the wrong series — buy it because you want the figures on a shelf.
How to display the set
Breathing In rewards a quiet setup. Line the twelve in a single row sorted by height rather than by design, and leave visible space between each figure — the theme is breathing room, and a cramped shelf actively fights the concept. Soft, diffuse side lighting suits the matte finish; skip the LED strips you'd use for the translucent City of Sunset pieces. And as always with PVC: no direct sunlight, or the lighter figures will yellow.
Where to buy genuine KUBO Breathing In figures
Older POP MART series attract more counterfeits than new ones, simply because official stock has dried up. Check the anti-counterfeit label, the box print sharpness, and the helmet seam — bootlegs consistently fail on that seam and on base paint bleed.
At Fluffy Monster Room, KUBO stock is genuine, ships worldwide, and orders over $69 ship free. See the whole KUBO collection, or compare against our KUBO City of Sunset guide and KUBO Love Wins guide.
