Does Zimomo Have A Tail?

Short Answer:

Yes, modern Zimomo figures have tails—but the original 2018 release did not!

The Fascinating History of Zimomo’s Tail

1. The Original Tailless Zimomo (2018)

• First Appearance:

  Zimomo debuted in The Little Monster Mini Figure Collection 1 (released November 21, 2018), known in China as "Mini Zimomo 1."

• Key Feature:

  The original Zimomo had no tail—just his signature round, fox-like body with sleepy eyes.

• Hidden Variant Exception:

  This series included a special Salamander hidden figure wearing a cosplay costume with a tail—but this was part of the outfit, not Zimomo’s actual design.

2. The Big Change: Tailed Zimomo Arrives (2019)

• Game-Changing Update:

  On August 7, 2019, The Little Monster Mini Figure Collection 2(or "Zimomo Mini 2" in China) introduced the first true tailed Zimomo as a hidden variant.

• Why the Tail?

  The tail became a permanent feature to visually distinguish Zimomo from Labubu (who remains tailless).

  • Zimomo = Fox-like leader with tail (since 2019)

  • Labubu = Elf-like troublemaker without tail

3. The New Standard (2019–Present)

From 2019 onward, all official Zimomo figures include a tail, making it a core part of his identity.

Why the Tail Matters

• Character Identity: The tail reinforces Zimomo’s role as the wise, grounded leader of The Monsterstribe.

• Collector’s Insight:

  • Pre-2019 Zimomo = Rare, tailless originals

  • Post-2019 Zimomo = Always tailed

Fun Fact for Collectors
