The vinyl series that feature this fun, poseable design include:

• Labubu Have a Seat Series

• The latest Labubu Pin for Love Series

These figures are crafted with a head that can swivel a full 360 degrees, allowing you to create dynamic displays and capture Labubu's mischievous spirit from every angle.

A Important Note on Quality and Batches

However, it's crucial to be aware that not every Labubu turns with ease. Many dedicated collectors have reported that their authentic, officially purchased Labubu figures have heads that do not turn or are very stiff.

This is not necessarily a sign of a counterfeit product. The cause often lies in manufacturing variances between different production batches. Slight differences in the vinyl or the assembly process can sometimes cause the head to become stuck or fixed in place.

Handle With Care: Dos and Don'ts

If your Labubu's head doesn't turn, please follow these tips to avoid damaging your precious collectible:

1. Don't Force It! If you've verified its authenticity via the official QR code but the head won't budge, do not apply strong force. Forcing it to turn can lead to a broken neck peg, permanently severing the head from the body.

2. The "Crooked Head" Fix: It's very common for a new Labubu to arrive with its head slightly tilted. This is easily fixable with a gentle "adjustment" technique beloved by collectors:

   • Gently rotate the head 180 degrees.

   • Then, slowly rotate the body 180 degrees.

   • This simple method often realigns the joint and straightens the head perfectly.

3. Potential Downsides of Turning: Be mindful that frequent turning can sometimes loosen the joint over time, potentially leading to a wobbly or droopy head that doesn't hold its pose as well.

In conclusion, a real Labubu's head is designed to turn. If yours doesn't, it's most likely due to a minor issue from its specific production batch and is not an automatic indicator of a fake. Always handle your figure with patience and care to keep it in perfect condition for years to come.
