If you’re living in the UK and have completely fallen for Labubu’s quirky “nine-tooth grin,” you’re not alone. In 2024, Labubu has become a top-tier icon in the world of designer toys. From BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Rihanna, from Thai royalty to Instagram influencers, everyone is showing off their Labubu collection.
But here’s the catch: while Labubu is everywhere in China, it’s nearly impossible to find in the UK — like a hidden edition on its own.
Don’t stress — there’s a simple solution: order directly from China and use a reliable freight forwarder like GeeseNest to ship it to the UK.
How to purchase Bubble Mart
We can guide you to purchase Pop Mart Labubu by yourself in China. Or if you have any needs for purchasing on behalf of others, please contact us.
What is Labubu and Why is Everyone Obsessed?
To understand Labubu, you have to know Pop Mart — the powerhouse behind this toy craze. Back in 2010, they were just a humble shop selling stationery and trinkets. Their turning point came in 2016 with the introduction of blind boxes and the character Molly.
Then came Labubu — an oddball with a mischievous smirk and nine little teeth. In a sea of cute, Labubu stood out with its rebellious and slightly twisted vibe, resonating with young collectors on an emotional level.
By 2024, Labubu wasn’t just popular — it was a phenomenon. Pop Mart’s global revenue soared past ¥13 billion, and Labubu alone accounted for ¥3 billion. That’s a 726.6% growth year-over-year.
Blind Boxes and the Dopamine Effect
Why is Labubu so addictive? It’s not just about what you get — it’s about how you feel when you open the box.
That blind box moment? It’s dopamine at its finest. Pop Mart has mastered the psychology — several common editions plus one hidden chase edition, strategically designed to keep you buying.
You think you’re buying a toy, but in reality, you’re engaging in a tiny dopamine-driven gamble. Communities, unboxing videos, and secondhand marketplaces keep the hype going — buyers become repeat players.
Pop Mart’s user data doesn’t lie: over 45% repeat purchase rate, and core users buy 12+ times a year.
Why Labubu Feels Like More Than Just a Toy
In a time when people have plenty of stuff but not enough meaning, Labubu provides emotional relief. It’s chaotic, defiant, and oddly comforting — like a tiny gremlin cheering you on through the workday.
For many, Labubu is emotional armor, not just decor. It’s not just a toy — it’s identity, self-expression, and stress relief rolled into one.
The Real Problem: How Do You Get Labubu in the UK?
Labubu drops are often limited edition and mostly sold in China. International sites are either sold out or charge double. Completing a full set? Nearly impossible.
That’s where a trustworthy freight forwarder like GeeseNest comes in.
