Does Mokoko Have A Tail?

If you're building a collection of Pop Mart's beloved THE MONSTERS characters, you might be studying the details that make each one unique. A common question that comes up for new collectors is: Does Mokoko have a tail?

The short and simple answer is: No, Mokoko does not have a tail.

Let's break down why, and how you can easily identify the different members of this quirky forest spirit family.

The LABUBU Family Rule: No Tails Allowed

To understand Mokoko, you first need to know about the LABUBU family. Mokoko is a special member of this group of Nordic forest spirits, and the key anatomical rule for the entire LABUBU tribe is that they do not have tails.

This is the most important distinction between a LABUBU and the leader of THE MONSTERS, Zimomo. From a distance, Zimomo and the LABUBU creatures look almost identical. The one and only physical feature that sets Zimomo apart is his tail. So, if you see a character that looks like a fuzzy, toothy monster with a tail—it's Zimomo. No tail? It's a member of the LABUBU family.

So, How Do You Spot Mokoko in a Crowd?

If having a tail is Zimomo's signature trait, what is Mokoko's? Since Mokoko follows the LABUBU no-tail rule, you identify her by her iconic color and styling.

You can recognize Mokoko by her:

• Distinctive Pink Fur: Mokoko is famous for her vibrant pink or light pink hair.

• A Delicate Flower: She is almost always depicted with a small flower on her head.

• Other Features: She also has a white belly, long curved eyelashes, and a cute heart-shaped nose, embodying her famously self-loving and fabulous personality.

A Quick Refresher: Who is Mokoko?

For those new to the phenomenon, Mokoko is a character created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung for Pop Mart. She debuted in the "Elf Trilogy" picture books and has skyrocketed in popularity, becoming the exclusive mascot for the Pop Mart City Park in Beijing.

Her collectibles, especially vinyl figures from series like FALL INTO SPRING, have become highly sought-after, with resale values often soaring far beyond their original retail price.

The Bottom Line

In the world of THE MONSTERS, the tail is the ultimate differentiator.

• Has a Tail = Zimomo (The leader)

• No Tail = LABUBU Family

• No Tail + Pink Fur + Head Flower = Mokoko

So, when you're looking at your collection, you can now confidently say that the pink, flower-wearing, tail-less character is none other than the fabulous Mokoko!
