POP MART's CRYBABY has become 2026's must-have bag charm, turning teary-eyed plush pendants into the year's biggest accessory trend. If you're asking which CRYBABY series to buy, how much they cost, and where to find authentic ones, here's the quick answer: most CRYBABY plush pendant blind boxes retail for $19.99–$32.99 USD, clip straight onto a bag or keys, and span several hit series like Cry Me an Ocean, Crying Again, and Wild but Cutie. Below is the full 2026 buyer's guide.

Why CRYBABY Is the Bag Charm of 2026

As the broader designer-toy market shifts from vinyl figures toward portable plush, CRYBABY has hit the sweet spot. Its emotional, ugly-cute design and soft plush-pendant format make it perfect for the bag charm trend, where collectors transform everyday totes and backpacks into personal statements. With many entry pieces priced under $50 and strong resale momentum, CRYBABY has become one of the most popular non-Labubu POP MART IPs heading through 2026.

CRYBABY Series & Prices in 2026

CRYBABY spans both classic vinyl figures and the now-dominant plush pendant (bag charm) format. Here's how the most in-demand series compare:

Prices reflect 2026 retail. Bag charm pendants generally sit at the higher end because of their larger plush construction and clip hardware.

Bag Charm vs Figure: Which Should You Buy?

If your goal is to accessorize a bag or backpack, choose a vinyl plush pendant series like Cry Me an Ocean or Wild but Cutie — they come with a built-in ring to clip on instantly. If you'd rather display CRYBABY on a shelf, the standard vinyl figures (around $19.99) are smaller and more affordable. Many collectors do both: a pendant for the bag, figures for the desk.

How Many Designs Are in a Set?

Most CRYBABY blind box series include a run of standard designs plus rare "secret" editions with low pull rates. Larger series have been reported with around 12 regular designs along with small and big secret chases, while some plush sets ship as smaller 6-box runs. Because the secret is luck-based, collectors chasing a specific design often buy a full case or pick up the chase on the resale market.

Where to Buy Authentic CRYBABY

CRYBABY sells fast and counterfeits are common, so stick to trusted channels. Genuine pieces are available through POP MART's official website and app, licensed retailers such as Urban Outfitters, and verified marketplaces. Check the packaging for official POP MART branding and the anti-counterfeit code, and be cautious of listings priced far below retail. A real plush pendant will have clean stitching, a sturdy clip ring, and a properly sealed inner bag.

Resale Value

CRYBABY has shown strong resale momentum in 2026, with popular series and secret editions trading well above retail on platforms like StockX. Bag charm pendants in trending series tend to hold value best, especially sealed boxes and confirmed secret pulls. As always, condition and a sealed box matter most for resale.
