• Character Pairing Focus: Tycoco’s prominence cemented the "Labubu+Tycoco" duo as IP icons.

• Hidden Chase Mania: The 0.69% pull rate set a precedent for ultra-rare figures in later releases.

Yet, it retained a charming simplicity:

• No background dioramas (unlike newer sets).

• Pure emphasis on character expression and musical whimsy.
