Overview

• Official Pop Mart blind-box drops continue to sell out within seconds, fueling a secondary market where rare Labubus fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
• Borough Road Discounts in Birkenhead is undercutting retail prices by offering authentic dolls for as little as £8 alongside unofficial knockoffs for £6.
• Labubu Live events will take place at Liverpool’s Metquarter on August 8 and Labubu Camp on August 5, featuring themed crafts, face art, photo opportunities and meet-and-greets.
• E-commerce platforms like Temu report that six of their top ten best-selling doll accessories are Labubu clothing sets, with some listings moving nearly 20,000 units.
• Collectors rely on authenticity markers such as QR codes, Pop Mart foot stamps and the exact nine-tooth count to distinguish genuine Labubus from widespread 'Lafufu' knockoffs.
