Labubu's are SOLD OUT everywhere - but we tracked down exactly where you can still get one (and fast)
If you so much as turned on your phone in recent days, it is likely you have stumbled across the latest worldwide obsession that has been leaving, Pop Mart shelves everywhere empty, the infamous Labubu! Labubu's are mischievous fuzz balls created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, and they notably are a part of ' The Monsters, ' tribe which includes other characters such as Tycoco (aka Labubu's boyfriend). It seems the adorably naughty monster has stolen hearts across the world, becoming somewhat of a fashion statement, with millions placing them on their purses, backpacks, and even belt loops. The popular plush keychains have been sold out for months now, with shoppers lined up online and in person to get their hands on new drops, which occur on Thursday nights on Pop Mart's website. Even we found ourselves enamored with the pint-sized sharp-toothed creature and have spent weeks looking high and low for our own Labubu. During our tireless search, we stumbled across a gold mine of Labubu's in perfect condition, and surprisingly — they are still in stock. Labubu The Monsters Macarons Green Grape $50 This Labubu is so cute even we have heart eyes! The Monsters has many series but the 'Tasty Macaron' one might be the most popular. You can indulge in a few different colors, including Green Grape. Typically, the series comes in blind box form but this one is unpacked and ready to be loved. Shop The Monsters Let's Checkmate Series Vinyl Plush Hanging Card $54 Could there be anything CUTER?! This limited edition Labubu is the butter yellow monster of our dreams. Decorated with a pink heart, blue bow, and queen crown — this keychain is a massive hit with fans. You can snag this resell still in the box for only $50 (we have this Labubu ourselves!). Shop StockX has a plethora of Labubu's in all its sought-after forms, from the 'Have a Seat' series to the 'Macaron' series. Whether you are shopping for yourself, for your kid, or for that one friend who just won't shut up about them — this may be the only place left on the internet with Labubu's that won't break the bank. Labubu The Monsters Have a Seat Vinyl Plush Blind Box If you have been dying to find an original Labubu blind box this is it! The classic 'Have a Seat' Labubu's are so adorable and come with several character options, including Baba who is on the front of the box. At only $40, this is perhaps one of the best priced Labubu resale finds. $40 Shop The Monsters Big into Energy Series Luck This purple Labubu was from the April 2025 launch named the 'Big into Energy' series. Though it typically comes inside of a blind box, you can get this unwrapped official one for $75. Many Labubu lovers have been on the hunt for this specific series and we have a feeling it is going to sell FAST. $75 Shop The Monsters Big into Energy Series Vinyl Plush Pendant Sealed Case (6 Blind Box) The mother-load of Labubu's! If you are a super fan who really needs to itch that Labubu scratch — this set of six blind boxes is for you. Enjoy endless surprise and make everyone envious with not one but six Labubu's on at your side (or rather on your bag!). $321 Shop We know there has been buzz online about 'counterfeit' Labuu's being sold, and we hear you! StockX is known for its tedious verification processes for all sellers to list products, including the dangerously cuddly and beloved Labubu. That being said, we know nothing is quite the same as shopping directly from the source, so if you are diving down the 'Black Market' Labubu rabbit hole as we did, do your due diligence in advance.

Decoding Labubu: The Plush Toy Tapping into Nostalgia & Taking Over Fashion
What is it about Labubu that's making this kawaii craze go mainstream, attracting adults who would seem well beyond the age of parading plush toys on their luxury bags? Take it from a self-professed Hello Kitty fan – these Kawaii characters, cute, fluffy and childlike, make us feel young and carefree. At a time when quiet luxury has dominated mainstream trends, Labubu charms have shocked the system; waking up fashion enthusiasts with a bold, playful punch. 'It's like a little doll bringing my inner child out,' agrees Dubai-based stylist of 15 years, Chloe Louise, who creates customised jewellery and bag charms, often from thrifted children's toys. 'Its playful, yet slightly mischievous vibe reminds me not to take things too seriously,' comments Vogue contributor Ty Gaskins. Photo: Saira Noorani 'They're unapologetic about how they look and how they make you feel,' shares Saira Noorani, who has affixed a white Labubu to her red Hermès Kelly bag. Noorani works part-time as a live selling host at Luxury Promise – a pre-loved marketplace with a dedicated hub in Japan. 'Back in Dubai and London, we couldn't keep them on the shelves. Truly – gone in a day,' she continues. 'There are three left in the Dubai office, if you're feeling lucky.' If Labubu can liven up accessories from the greatest names in luxury, it can win over even the most hesitant among us. Take the sartorial leap – the affection you develop for this little Kawaii critter might just surprise you.
