CryBaby Pop Mart: The Complete Collector's Guide to Every Series, Figurine & Secret

Why CryBaby Has Taken Over the Art Toy World

There's something about a tear-stained face on a chubby little figurine that just gets you. If you've been anywhere near the blind box community in the past year, you already know: CryBaby by Pop Mart is everywhere — and for good reason. Created by Thai artist Molly (yes, different from Pop Mart's Molly character), CryBaby's emotional, slightly melancholic aesthetic has resonated with collectors who want something more expressive than the usual cute-and-cheerful lineup.

With over 100 products spanning blind box series, limited edition figurines, plush pendants, and even lifestyle accessories, CryBaby has quietly become one of Pop Mart's most expansive IPs. This guide breaks down what makes each series special, which pieces are worth hunting, and where to start if you're just discovering the tears.

The Blind Box Series: Where Most Collectors Start

Crying Again Series — The Gateway CryBaby

If there's one series that hooks new collectors, it's CRYBABY Crying Again Series. At just $17 per blind box, it's the most accessible entry point into the CryBaby universe. The designs lean into the "tears as aesthetic" concept with each figure sporting a different crying expression — some dramatic, some quietly sad, all impossibly adorable. This is the series I hand to people when they ask "what's the deal with CryBaby?"

Crying For Love Series — Romance Meets Tears

The Crying For Love Series leans into a Valentine's vibe year-round. The designs are softer, more pastel, with each figure themed around love — heartbreak, longing, butterflies, the whole emotional spectrum. At $20 per box, this series tends to sell fast because the color palette photographs beautifully for shelf displays.

If you want to go all-in on the love theme, the Crying For Love Plush Gift Box ($120) packages the plush versions in premium gift packaging — genuinely one of the best art toy gifts you can buy.

The CryBaby Cheer UP, Baby! Series plush pendants — perfect for bags, keys, or your desk.

Sad Zoo Day Series — CryBaby Meets Animals

The Sad Zoo Day Series is where CryBaby's design team really went off. Each figure reimagines CryBaby as a different crying animal — and the Crybuddy Crying Blob capsule toys ($90 for the set) have become some of the most traded pieces in the secondary market. The blob-shaped animal variants hit that sweet spot between weird and wonderful.

Limited Edition Figurines: The Collector's Grail Pieces

Beyond the blind box series, CryBaby has a growing lineup of standalone figurines that serious collectors chase. These aren't random pulls — you know exactly what you're getting, and the quality shows.

CryBaby Be Mine Figurine

The CryBaby Be Mine Figurine ($230) is one of the most striking pieces in the entire CryBaby catalog. It's larger than the standard blind box figures, with more intricate detailing and a Valentine's theme that makes it a statement piece on any shelf. The paint work on this one is genuinely impressive — you can see the individual tears catching light.

The Coconut Figurines

CryBaby's tropical side shows up in the Coconut figurines, available in both Coconut Brown and Coconut Green variants ($45 each). These are hanging card format — smaller, more affordable, and perfect for people who want a CryBaby figurine without the triple-digit price tag.

Going MEGA: The 400% CryBaby

Pop Mart's MEGA line has been one of the most exciting developments in the art toy space, and CryBaby didn't get left behind. The 400% MEGA CryBaby The Sleepy Sunny ($389) is a showstopper — standing significantly taller than standard figures, with a dreamy, sun-drenched color scheme that looks like a lazy weekend morning personified.

If you're looking to level up from standard blind boxes, the MEGA format is where CryBaby truly shines as a display piece. The larger scale lets you appreciate details that get lost on the smaller figures.

Accessories & Lifestyle: CryBaby Beyond the Shelf

One thing that sets CryBaby apart from other Pop Mart IPs is the lifestyle product range. The CryBaby Appliqué Fridge Magnet ($20) is a subtle way to bring the aesthetic into your kitchen. The Crying Again Series Shoulder Bag ($55) actually looks good enough to use daily — it doesn't scream "I collect toys" but fellow collectors will absolutely notice.
