Zimomo is not Labubu. This is worth stating clearly, because the two characters are frequently confused — both are from THE MONSTERS, both have long ears, both have the serrated grin that defines Kasing Lung's design language. But Zimomo is the older figure: the leader of the elves in the Nordic forest mythology that underpins THE MONSTERS universe, the one with the tail, the one who came first. Angel in Clouds is the piece that establishes Zimomo's identity for collectors who know the character only from its appearances alongside Labubu.
Released on October 25, 2024, the THE MONSTERS Zimomo Angel in Clouds is a 58cm vinyl face doll — the largest Zimomo release to date, and the one that functions as a statement piece rather than a shelf figure. It is not a blind box. It is not a series. It is one object, designed around one image: Zimomo descending from clouds, white-furred, wings extended, the expression on the vinyl face simultaneously serene and slightly mischievous.
The Object Itself
The body is a soft, slightly fuzzy flocked polyester — the material sits between a plush toy and a structured textile, giving the figure a warmth that pure vinyl cannot achieve. Against this, the vinyl face plate is smooth and matte, creating a hard-soft contrast that is central to POP MART's vinyl face doll format. Zimomo's face in this piece has a particular quality: the eyes are wide and slightly upward-looking, the grin is present but softened, the overall expression reading as wonder rather than mischief. It is the most ethereal Zimomo has been rendered.
The wings are stitched-on and extend laterally from the back, fuller and more architecturally considered than the smaller Zimomo angel figures. They hold their shape rather than drooping, which matters at 58cm: a wing that slumps reads wrong at this scale in a way it would not at 17cm. The white-on-white palette — body, wings, ears, face in pale vinyl — is unified without being monotonous because the different surfaces (flock, vinyl, stitching) catch light differently at every angle.
Scale and Display
58cm is not a shelf figure. It is a room figure — the kind of object you place where it will be seen first, not alongside other things. At this size, Zimomo Angel in Clouds reads differently depending on the distance: up close, the material texture and vinyl face detail dominate; from across a room, the white mass and wing silhouette dominate. Both readings are correct and both are intentional.
The display box has a clear window, which POP MART designed for in-box display. A significant portion of collectors keep the figure boxed — the window allows full visibility while protecting the flocked body from dust accumulation, which is the practical concern with any large-format flocked piece. The box itself is black with cloud imagery, which frames the white figure and doubles as a secondary display element.
Zimomo vs. Labubu: The Character Distinction
Because Angel in Clouds is frequently listed or searched as a "Labubu angel," it is worth establishing clearly who Zimomo is. In Kasing Lung's mythology, Zimomo is the elder figure — the leader of the monsters in the Nordic forest. Zimomo has a tail; Labubu does not. Zimomo predates Labubu's rise to cultural prominence, which means collectors who have followed THE MONSTERS from its earlier releases tend to see Zimomo as the more historically significant character. Angel in Clouds is the piece that makes that significance legible to a broader audience.
