POP MART YUKI is a collectible monster figure designed by Lang (Lang Studio). This guide covers the main YUKI blind-box series from 2019–2024: Color Transparent, Inner Brilliance, Interfusion, Evolution, The Seasons and the Japan-exclusive Japanese Style series. Use the quick-reference table to compare releases, then explore each series’ figure lineup, finishes and secret editions.
If you've tried to work out which YUKI came from which series, you know how hard it is. Names get translated differently, series have two or three titles, and most listings just say "YUKI blind box." We put this guide together to make it easier: every main YUKI blind-box series, with what makes each one special and the full figure list.
Who is YUKI?
YUKI is a little rainbow-colored monster designed by the artist Lang (Lang Studio) and produced by POP MART. The look draws on Japanese soft-vinyl kaiju toys. What sets YUKI apart is the materials: translucent vinyl, tie-dye swirls, glitter and pearlescent finishes, figures filled with tiny balls or stars, and later "anatomy" designs that show what's inside. Most blind-box figures stand about 2–3 inches tall and come with a collector card.
Collectors number the main series in release order, which is why you'll often see "YUKI 03" or "YUKI 04" in listings.

YUKI 01: Color Transparent Series (2019)
This is where it all started. Every figure in the first series is cast in glossy see-through colored vinyl, and many are filled with little balls or stars that shift when you pick them up. It's the series that made YUKI's reputation for unusual materials.
The 9 figures: Blue Ice, Marshmallow, Drunkard, Burning Sun, Lemon Smoothie, Sakura, Pink Star, Rainbow Star and Brilliant.
Secret: one hidden figure, pulled at about 1 in 162 boxes.
Collector tip: Color Transparent is the oldest YUKI series, and it's getting hard to find with the card in good condition.

YUKI 02: Inner Brilliance Series (2019)
The second series gave YUKI a glow "from the inside," and every figure is scented. Figures kept in their factory-sealed bag keep their scent best, which makes sealed examples especially nice to own. In Japan the series is sold as "Inner Shine," so you may see both names.
The 9 figures: Dawn, Amber, Crystal, Mango, Peach, Aurora, Vanilla, Tropic and Pudding.
Secrets: 2 hidden figures.

YUKI 03: Interfusion Series (May 2020)
Interfusion brought an 80s look: tie-dye, rainbow gradients, marbled "milkshake" finishes and pearlescent vinyl. Some figures are transparent and filled with colored or pearly balls. With 12 regular designs, it's the largest early series and the easiest place to start a YUKI collection.
The 12 figures: Neon, Rock Sugar, Perlite, Milkshake Pink, Milkshake Blue, Saipan, Porcelain, Strawberry Ice Cream, Galaxy, Aurora, Gemstone Pink and Gemstone Blue.
Secret: Luminous. Super secret: YOKA Baby.
Collector tip: Gemstone and Milkshake each came in two colorways, so check the color when you're completing a set.

YUKI 04: Evolution Series (August 2021)
This is the fan favorite, and the series with the most names: collectors call it Evolution, POP MART's US store lists it as Levolutionism, and the launch material called it Theory of Evolution. They're all the same series. It released in Japan on July 30, 2021, and everywhere else on August 13, 2021.
The theme is YUKI's "anatomy." Several figures are shown half-transformed, with the inside exposed on one side (a skeleton, organs, or a galaxy), while others introduce new colorways. Galaxy Center glows in the dark. Polar Day and Polar Night were popular enough that POP MART later made them as 400% MEGA figures.
The 12 figures: Coral, Equator, Galaxy Center, Golden Sand, Island, Magic Night, Morning Mist, Oasis, Parhelion, Polar Day, Polar Night and Silver Sand.
Secret: Colorful Streamer. Super secret: Night Elves.

YUKI 05: The Seasons Series (July 2022)
After more than a year's wait, the fifth series continued the anatomy idea through the four seasons, from spring sakura to midsummer. The lineup adds shaker designs with loose pieces inside and X-ray editions that show YUKI's skeleton.
The 12 figures: Age, Amethyst, Celebration, Cuddle, Dawn, Iridescence, Midsummer, Obsession, Ocean, Reef, Sakura and Shining.
Secret: Elapse. Super secret: Fortune.
Collector tip: Sakura and Dawn also appear in the 01 and 02 series, so always check the series when you buy one.
Japanese Style Series (2024, Japan exclusive)
This series was sold only through POP MART Japan. It reimagines YUKI with Japanese motifs. It's also listed as "Japanese Taste," and resellers often label it "06." Because it was never sold outside Japan, it usually costs more in the US than the numbered series.
The 10 figures: Starry Sky, Beckoning Cat, Colorful Butterfly, Japanese-style Rabbit, Mossy Jizo Statue, Wind Chime, Inari Fox, Kompeito, Daruma and Mount Fuji.

How to tell which series your YUKI is from
- Check the card. Every blind-box figure comes with a collector card printed with the series name and lineup.
- Check the box. The side panel shows the full series lineup, with the secret shown as a silhouette.
- Look at the finish. Clear with balls or stars inside is usually 01. Scented is 02. Tie-dye or marbled is usually 03. A half-anatomy design is 04 or 05.
