“You dodged LinaBell’s cuteness, escaped Jellycat’s soft charm, but Labubu’s mischievous smile got you in the end.”
If you’ve recently seen a rabbit-eared little gremlin with a wide toothy grin pop up on your TikTok or Xiaohongshu feed, you’re not alone. Meet Labubu, the weird-but-adorable figure that’s taking over the global collector scene. From Asia to the West, from your toy shelf to the runway, Labubu has gone from a niche toy to a full-blown cultural icon.
But there’s one common headache for overseas fans:
Why are so many Labubu drops only available in China? And how do I get them shipped to the U.S. or U.K.?
Don’t worry. GeeseNest, your trusted China parcel forwarding partner, has you covered with a seamless way to get your hands on the hottest Pop Mart figures—wherever you are.
How Labubu Became the Unlikely Global Superstar
Labubu was born over a decade ago, created by Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung as part of The Monsters series. In 2019, Pop Mart officially signed the series, but it didn’t explode in popularity—until 2024. That year, Pop Mart’s revenue reached ¥13.04 billion, with The Monsters alone contributing over ¥3 billion, a 726% year-over-year growth. Labubu was officially crowned the company’s breakout star.
What makes Labubu different?
It’s not your typical cute. It’s mischievous, odd, and a bit “off”—and that’s exactly the appeal. With nine sharp teeth, bulging eyes, and a grin that walks the line between innocent and evil, Labubu resonates with a generation that relates more to emotional realism than perfect aesthetics.
As one fan put it:
“People say I’m childish for collecting dolls in my 30s, but to me, Labubu—with its exaggerated grin—is how I push back against the pressures of adulthood.”
From Collectible to Couture: Labubu’s Fashion World Takeover
Labubu’s rise didn’t happen by chance—it got the full celebrity and fashion treatment.
- Lisa from BLACKPINK posted Labubu selfies on Instagram, sending Southeast Asian and global fans into a frenzy.
- A Thai princess was spotted at Paris Fashion Week with Labubu dangling from her Hermès bag—instantly turning Labubu into a luxury fashion companion.
- Rihanna was seen at LAX with a pink Labubu keychain, prompting fans to declare, “Labubu has officially landed in the U.S.”
Now, in the fashion world, Labubu isn’t just an accessory. It’s a statement.
“Wearing a $50,000 Birkin is basic—pairing it with a $20 Labubu keychain? That’s trendsetting.”
And the obsession doesn’t stop there. Some collectors even tailor-make outfits for their Labubu, turning it into a full-on style icon.
Overseas Fans, Here’s the Real Question: How Can You Get One?
As Labubu fever spreads, many overseas fans are frustrated. Limited edition drops and blind boxes often launch exclusively in China. Even official Pop Mart stores abroad can’t keep up.
So how can you get your dream Labubu shipped overseas safely, quickly, and affordably?
That’s where GeeseNest steps in.

On Instagram, a crafter’s handmade crochet Labubu got over 220K likes, with top comments begging him to name the figures “delulu.”
In China, the chaos continues:

Labubu Meets… Witchcraft? Yes, Really.
On Xiaohongshu, the tag #LabubuWishingWall has over 500,000 posts.
Desperate to pull their favorite rare blind box design, some fans take Labubu to temples, light incense, and even spiritually cleanse their figures before unboxing. It’s part of the new “spiritual rituals for toys” trend.
In Hong Kong, Labubu even showed up at a religious banquet event dressed as a deity—complete with golden robes, scepters, and a chest tag reading “Bring Wealth.”
