Where to Buy Authentic Labubu in the UK (2026): Official Stores, Resellers & What to Avoid

So you want a Labubu — a real one. Good instinct. With counterfeit "Lafufu" figures flooding online marketplaces and even turning up at UK markets, where you buy matters just as much as what you buy. The wrong source can mean a fake, a wildly inflated price, or a months-long wait from overseas.

This guide breaks down every realistic way to buy authentic Labubu in the UK in 2026 — starting with the official source, running through trusted resellers, and flagging exactly where the risks lie. We've kept it honest: no single shop is right for everyone, so we'll tell you the pros and cons of each.

Quick answer: the safest places to buy Labubu in the UK

• Pop Mart UK (official) — the source. Cheapest prices, but stock sells out in seconds.
• Selfridges (London) — Pop Mart has had an in-store presence; availability varies.
• Trusted UK resellers — reliable stock and fast delivery, usually at a small premium.
• Marketplaces (eBay, Vinted, Depop) — possible, but the highest fake risk. Verify carefully.

Below, we explain how to get the most out of each — and how to make sure whatever you buy is genuine.

1. Pop Mart UK — the official source

Pop Mart is the company behind Labubu (designed by artist Kasing Lung as part of The Monsters series), so their official UK website is the definitive place to buy genuine figures. It's also generally the cheapest, since you're buying at RRP rather than a reseller's price — standard blind boxes typically sit around the £15–£30 mark.

The catch is availability. Pop Mart doesn't operate standalone Labubu shops across the UK, and online stock sells out extraordinarily fast — popular drops can disappear in under a couple of minutes. To stand a chance:

• Create a Pop Mart account in advance, with your address and payment saved.
• Follow Pop Mart's official channels for drop dates and times.
• Be ready the moment a drop goes live — hesitation costs you the figure.

If you're patient, persistent, and mainly want current releases at retail price, this is your best starting point.

2. Selfridges and physical Pop Mart points

In London, Selfridges on Oxford Street has featured a Pop Mart presence (including a "Robo Shop" vending point on the toy floor), making it one of the few places to buy Labubu in person in the UK. Pop Mart also runs occasional pop-up events in major cities.

Two honest caveats: in-store stock is inconsistent and sells out quickly on restock days, and Pop Mart has at times paused in-store plush Labubu sales in favour of online lotteries. Always check ahead before travelling — a wasted trip to Oxford Street is no fun.

3. Trusted UK resellers — convenience and stock

Because official stock is so hard to catch, many UK collectors turn to specialist resellers. A good reseller buys through official Pop Mart channels, then offers that stock reliably and with fast UK delivery — usually at a modest premium over RRP. What you're paying for is availability (they've done the queuing for you), curation (rare and sold-out pieces in one place), and the reassurance of buying from a UK business rather than an anonymous overseas seller.

The key is choosing a reseller who is transparent about authenticity. Look for ones who:

• Clearly state whether each item is genuine Pop Mart or a Labubu-style alternative
• Offer fast, tracked UK delivery
• Have visible reviews and responsive customer service
• Don't make impossible claims (nobody has unlimited cheap genuine stock)

This is where we fit in — and we'll be straight about it. At Labubu UK, we sell genuine Pop Mart figures sourced through official channels, clearly labelled as authentic, and a separate range of affordable Labubu-style plush, keychains and accessories for fans who want the look at a friendlier price. We always make clear which is which, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you want the convenience of in-stock UK delivery without the drop-day scramble, that's exactly what we're here for — but we'd genuinely rather you bought a real one from anywhere than a fake from a dodgy listing.

4. Marketplaces: eBay, Vinted, Depop, StockX

Marketplaces are where you'll find sold-out series and rare chase figures — but also where the highest concentration of fakes lives. Consumer coverage has repeatedly warned that a significant share of third-party Labubu listings are counterfeit.

They're not off-limits, but treat them as buyer-beware:

• StockX authenticates some collectibles, which adds a layer of protection (though check fees and shipping).
• On eBay, Vinted and Depop, vet every seller: read reviews, demand close-up photos of the teeth, feet, QR code and box, and walk away from anyone who won't provide them.
• Be wary of prices far below RRP with lots of stock — the classic fake giveaway.
• Favour UK-based sellers to avoid import duties and long waits.

If you do buy this way, run every figure through our authentication checklist before you trust it. (See our guide on how to spot a fake Labubu.)

5. What to avoid

Some sources cause more grief than they're worth:

• Random market stalls and gift shops with tables full of cheap Labubu — UK Trading Standards has seized counterfeits from exactly these. If a tiny shop has dozens in stock at low prices, they're almost certainly Lafufu.
• Overseas sellers with vague descriptions — long waits, possible import duties (which can add 25–35% to the final cost), and harder recourse if something's wrong.
• Any listing without clear authenticity information or photos — if a seller can't or won't tell you whether it's genuine Pop Mart, assume the worst.

How to make sure your Labubu is real, wherever you buy

No matter the source, a 60-second check protects you:

1. Teeth — exactly nine, neat and even.
2. QR code — scans straight to Pop Mart's official site.
3. Feet — sharp, deep, embossed "POP MART" stamp.
4. Packaging — matte, embossed, red logo, no typos.
5. UK safety marks — UKCA/CE mark and a UK importer address.
6. Price — at or near RRP; suspiciously cheap means suspicious.

The bottom line

If you want the lowest price and you're willing to fight for drops, start with Pop Mart UK official. If you want convenience, in-stock UK delivery and curation without the scramble, a trusted UK reseller (like us) is the easy route. If you're chasing rare, sold-out pieces, marketplaces can deliver — but only with careful authentication.

Whatever you choose, buy from somewhere transparent, check the figure, and you'll never have to wonder whether you ended up with a Lafufu.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pop Mart have stores in the UK? Pop Mart doesn't operate standalone Labubu shops across the UK, but it sells officially through its UK website and has had a presence in Selfridges London, plus occasional pop-up events.

How much does a real Labubu cost in the UK? Standard blind box figures typically retail around £15–£30. Limited editions, collaborations and sold-out series cost considerably more on the secondary market — anywhere from £50 to several hundred pounds depending on rarity.

Is it safe to buy Labubu on eBay or Vinted? It can be, but these platforms carry a high risk of counterfeits. Vet the seller carefully, insist on close-up photos, be cautious of low prices, and authenticate the figure on arrival.

Why is Labubu so hard to buy? Pop Mart limits production and releases stock in timed drops that sell out in seconds, creating high demand and scarcity — which is also why fakes and resale premiums are so common.

What's the difference between genuine Pop Mart and Labubu-style? Genuine Pop Mart Labubu are official, authenticated collectibles. "Labubu-style" items are unofficial plush, keychains and accessories inspired by the look — cheaper, but not authentic collectibles. A good shop will always tell you which is which.
