The KUBO City of Sunset Series is POP MART's apocalyptic-romance blind box line, built around KUBO — the wide-eyed, hooded wanderer created by artist Wang Xin. Each box hides one of 12 regular figures plus 1 secret, standing 7–8.8 cm (2.76–3.46 in) tall in PVC/ABS, with several designs using translucent parts and small electronic light components. At Fluffy Monster Room a single blind box is $25.00 USD, and a full 12-box set is available as a separate option. If you want to buy it right now, it's on our KUBO City of Sunset product page.

KUBO City of Sunset at a glance

What the "City of Sunset" theme actually is

KUBO's world in this series sits in the ruins after the world ends — but the mood is not grim. POP MART frames City of Sunset around apocalypse, adventure and the small, stubborn beauty of everyday life: a figure still chasing a dream in the rubble, another guarding a promise that no longer has anyone to keep it. That "romance amid ruins" tone is why this line reads more like a designer art series than a cute-only blind box, and it's the main reason collectors who normally skip blind boxes pick this one up.

Design-wise, the sculpts lean into texture: weathered surfaces, clockwork detail, distressed paint, and — unusually for a $25-tier blind box — translucent resin-look parts and small light-up elements on select figures. That electronic component in the spec sheet is not filler; it's what separates the standout designs from the rest of the case.

How the 12 + 1 works (and your real secret odds)

Each sealed box contains one figure, chosen at random from 12 regular designs. The secret is the 13th, and it does not have a guaranteed slot in a case. A full case of 12 typically yields either 12 regulars (one of each) or 11 regulars plus the secret replacing one design.

One honest note: if your goal is the full 12-figure display, buying singles until you complete it almost always costs more than the whole set, because duplicates are mathematically unavoidable. Buy singles for the thrill; buy the set for the shelf.

Why this series is worth it (and when it isn't)

Worth it if: you like designer-toy storytelling more than pure cuteness, you display figures rather than box them, and you value sculpt texture. At 7–8.8 cm the figures fit a standard display cube without dominating it, and the muted sunset palette groups beautifully with other KUBO lines like Breathing In and Angel's Poem.

Think twice if: you're buying purely as an investment. Blind box aftermarket values are volatile and most regular designs settle near or below retail. The secret is the only piece that reliably carries a premium, and paying for it directly usually beats opening $300 of boxes hoping for it.

How to display City of Sunset properly

These figures were designed for a scene, not a straight line. Three setups that work:

• The ruined skyline. Stagger figures at three heights using acrylic risers, with the light-up designs at the back — the glow reads as distant city lights.
• Warm backlight. A single amber LED strip behind the row recreates the sunset the series is named after and makes the translucent parts actually do something.
• Mixed KUBO shelf. Pair with the larger KUBO statues — the size gap between an 8 cm blind box figure and a full-size KUBO piece creates depth instead of clutter.

Keep them out of direct sunlight. PVC/ABS yellows over time under UV, and this palette shows it faster than most.

Where to buy genuine KUBO City of Sunset figures

The series originally sold out through POP MART's official channels, which is exactly the gap where fakes appear. Signs of an authentic box: crisp printing on the outer box, a clean anti-counterfeit label, correct weight, and paint that stays inside the sculpt lines — bootlegs almost always bleed at the eyes and the hood edge.

At Fluffy Monster Room every KUBO piece is sourced genuine, ships worldwide, and orders over $69 ship free. Browse the rest of the line in our KUBO collection, or read our KUBO Joker Figurine review if you're after the larger statues.
