How to Authenticate Pop Mart Labubu: Legit Check Guide for Collectors in NZ & Australia

Pop Mart Labubu figures are among the most collected designer toys worldwide. With their rising popularity in New Zealand and Australia, counterfeit versions are also surfacing—especially on resale platforms. If you’re wondering how to legit check Pop Mart Labubu, this guide will help you confidently spot fakes and protect your collection.

🔍 How to Authenticate Labubu — The PRIOR Way

1. Check the Packaging

Authentic Labubu boxes have a matte finish with smooth texture and embossed series details. Fakes usually feel glossy and uneven. Look for muted pastel colors, crisp printing, and a holographic QR sticker on the back for verification.

💡 Tip: Examine the trash can icon on the back—real ones have a rounded arrow; fake versions often have sharp-cornered arrows.

2. Scan the QR Code

The top right of the box features a POP MART hologram. Authentic holograms show a 3D effect with clean printing. Fakes are blurry, squashed, and flat-looking.

The QR code should be clear and scannable, leading to fwsy.popmart.com or m-gss.popmart.com. Counterfeits may lead to fake sites or include no QR code at all.

3. Examine the Face & Teeth

Genuine Labubu figures have:

• Matte finish faces with neat paint lines

• Glossy inset eyes

• Soft, airbrushed blush

• Exactly 9 individually shaped teeth growing directly from the blue line with clear gaps

Fakes usually show messy painting, fewer or connected teeth, and poor detailing.

🔦 Pro Tip: Use a UV light—real Labubu noses glow, fakes don’t.

4. Feel the Fur & Build

Authentic Labubu plush is:

• Soft and fluffy

• Cleanly stitched with no visible seams

• Seamlessly connected to the vinyl face

Fakes feel coarse, show frayed threads, and often have visible glue marks.

5. Check the Build & Stance

Authentic Labubus have a well-proportioned, compact build with a natural, upright stance.
In contrast, fakes tend to have:

• Wider overall builds

• Bulkier limbs

• An unnaturally wide-legged stance that makes them look off-balanced or stretched

These differences, while subtle, are key signs of authenticity.

6. Inspect the Feet

Look for:

• A Pop Mart logo on the left foot (embossed or printed)

• Soft, flexible feet made from the same vinyl as the face

• Some models even feature a hidden Labubu silhouette under UV light

Fake feet are often oversized, stiff, plastic-like, or glued into place.

7. Verify Identity Cards & Extras

Every genuine Labubu includes:

• A pastel-toned identity card with sharp print quality

• A desiccant packet with clean branding

Fakes often skip these or provide low-quality imitations.
