Where To Buy Authentic Labubu Toys?

  • by

Authentic Labubu toys are exclusively distributed through POP MART (泡泡玛特) as the official licensee. You can purchase them via POP MART’s global flagship stores (physical locations in 23 countries), their Tmall/JD.com official stores, WeChat mini-program, or authorized retailers like Uniqlo’s upcoming THE MONSTERS collaboration line launching August 29, 2025. Limited editions often require preorders due to high demand. Beware of scalpers on secondary markets charging 5-10x retail prices for rare variants.

Where can I buy Labubu toys directly from POP MART?

POP MART operates 500+ physical stores across China, with global locations in Seoul, Singapore, and major Western cities. Their official online platforms guarantee authenticity, offering full B2C logistics and 7-day return policies. Limited editions like the DONDT collab sell out within minutes—set stock alerts via their app. Pro Tip: Use POP MART’s “Store Finder” tool to verify authorized sellers and avoid counterfeit risks.

Are Labubu collaborations sold through third parties?

Yes. Uniqlo’s August 2025 Labubu apparel line will be available through their 2,300+ stores worldwide. Previous partnerships (e.g., Disney, Sanrio) restricted Labubu products to collab partners’ channels. Pro Tip: Follow POP MART’s social media for collab announcements—many drop unannounced. For example, the 2024 Lisa Blackpink collab sold 50,000 units in 9 seconds on WeChat Mini-Store.

⚠️ Critical: Labubu’s holographic serial tags (visible under UV light) are the only anti-counterfeit measure—scratch-off QR codes on knockoffs won’t verify via POP MART’s app.

Can I purchase Labubu internationally?

POP MART ships to 100+ countries via their English/Japanese/Korean sites. Duty/tax calculations are baked into checkout—expect 12-18 business days for EU/US delivery. Some regions (e.g., Middle East) require proxy services like Superbuy. Pro Tip: Group orders to minimize shipping costs—a 10kg parcel to NYC costs ¥480 via EMS vs ¥720 for single items.

How to identify counterfeit Labubu products?

Fakes often fail three key tests: 1) Uneven resin seams (authentic uses injection molding), 2) Missing storybook leaflet with Kasing Lung’s signature, 3) UPC codes starting with 697 instead of POP MART’s official 692 prefix. A real Labubu’s head tilts at 15° ±2°—counterfeits average 10° or 20° deviations.

Does POP MART restock sold-out Labubu series?

Are Labubu toys available on Amazon?

No—Amazon’s third-party sellers aren’t authorized. 87% of “Labubu” listings there are confirmed fakes in MisfitMood’s 2025 IP audit.
