Long before blind boxes exploded worldwide, it was the Hong Kong studio How2Work that brought these creatures to life in sofubi and vinyl editions — today among the most coveted pieces on the art toy market. At MTHOR, we hand-pick each figure and have it \u003cstrong\u003eauthenticated by our team of experts\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you can collect the spirit of The Monsters with complete peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFrom the earliest exhibition releases to the limited \u003cstrong\u003e10th anniversary\u003c\/strong\u003e editions, this collection brings together How2Work's signature pieces: an ideal playground for seasoned collectors and for anyone just discovering the world of Labubu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe story of an icon: Kasing Lung and the birth of The Monsters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIt all begins with \u003cstrong\u003eKasing Lung\u003c\/strong\u003e (龍家昇), an artist born in Hong Kong and based in the Netherlands, raised on fairy tales and Nordic mythology. From this imagination of deep forests and mischievous elves comes \u003cstrong\u003eThe Monsters\u003c\/strong\u003e, a series of picture books published from 2015 onwards. At the heart of this world is \u003cstrong\u003eLabubu\u003c\/strong\u003e, a small creature with pointy ears and a jagged smile, at once playful and endearing, surrounded by companions Zimomo, Tycoco and Mokoko.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTo bring these characters from page to object, Kasing Lung teamed up with the studio \u003cstrong\u003eHow2Work\u003c\/strong\u003e, a Hong Kong specialist in art figures. Together they produced the very first The Monsters figures, in limited runs unveiled at fairs and exhibitions. It is these How2Work editions that laid the foundations of the phenomenon: long before the mainstream wave, they were already being traded among in-the-know collectors. Today Labubu has become a global pop icon, and the original pieces signed by How2Work retain a very special aura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eHow2Work and the art of sofubi: a unique craft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe signature of How2Work figures lies in how they are made. Many are crafted in \u003cstrong\u003esofubi\u003c\/strong\u003e (from \u003cem\u003esoft vinyl\u003c\/em\u003e), a Japanese technique of mould-cast soft vinyl, prized by artists for its warm finish and retro texture. Other pieces use a more rigid vinyl or large statue-style formats. Each figure is then painted, sometimes by hand, with an attention to detail that gives the object all its value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis craftsmanship translates into three concrete strengths: a \u003cstrong\u003epremium finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with deep colours and carefully mastered gradients; a \u003cstrong\u003eunique character\u003c\/strong\u003e specific to each edition, from the colourway to the accessories; and a \u003cstrong\u003ecollector quality\u003c\/strong\u003e built to last and to gain value over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe collection's iconic pieces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe How2Work The Monsters collection brings together the most sought-after figures of the Kasing Lung universe.
