The year 2025 saw a wave of fascination with the cute and fuzzy collectible Labubus, with celebrities like Lisa from K-Pop group Blackpink, Dua Lipa, and Cher adorning them on their bags. Now, as we step into the new year, a similar-looking toy is making its debut at Jack in the Box restaurants. These new collectibles, known as Jibbis, have garnered attention due to their resemblance to the beloved Labubus.
While Jack in the Box has not officially confirmed that the Jibbis are inspired by Labubus, food bloggers like Snackolator have pointed out the similarities between the two collectibles. On a Facebook post announcing the Jibbi release, one commenter even mentioned, "Those are all actually Labubus wearing a Jack Mask." The Jibbis are part of Jack in the Box's 75th-anniversary celebration, alongside the return of the Chicken Supreme Munchie Meal, a menu item that hasn't been available for over two decades.
For those eager to get their hands on the Jibbis, these adorable collectibles will be available at Jack in the Box locations starting on January 6, 2026. To receive a limited-edition Jibbi, customers can order the Chicken Supreme Munchie Meal, which is making a comeback after two decades as part of the anniversary celebration.
Labubus, on the other hand, are highly sought-after collectibles known for their cute vinyl faces, toothy grins, and colorful furry bodies. Manufactured by the Chinese company POP MART, Labubus are based on an illustrated book series by author Kasing Lung. The series, titled "The Monsters," features Labubus, or playful female elves, inspired by Nordic fairy tales. Following the release of the books in 2015, the toy series quickly became a hit, setting sales records for art toys under POP MART.
Similarly to Labubus, the Jibbis boast colorful, stout, and fuzzy bodies with smooth faces. Available in four designs—The Boss, Saucy, Spicy, and Icy—each Jibbi figure comes with a Chicken Supreme Munchie Meal from Jack in the Box.
Jack in the Box, a renowned fast food chain with over 2,100 restaurants across 21 states in the US, is gearing up to launch the Jibbi charms alongside the revived Chicken Supreme Munchie meal. The introduction of these charms is a nod to the growing trend of Labubus, adding a touch of collectible fun to their menu offerings.
The release of the Jibbis reflects Jack in the Box's commitment to blending food offerings with pop-culture-driven collectibles as part of its promotional strategy. Customers can anticipate a mix of nostalgia and novelty as the company celebrates its 75th anniversary with throwback menu items, limited-edition merchandise, exclusive Jack Pack offers, and these adorable Jibbi charms.
