Authentic or Fake? How to Spot a Real Labubu


The ultimate guide — so you never get tricked by a Lafufu.
In a world where Labubu figures are selling for hundreds of euros, fakes are inevitable.
Counterfeiters copy the look — but they’ll never replicate the story, the feel, or the soul.
If you’re spending serious money, you need to know what you’re holding.
🧪 The 6-Point Authenticity Test
Here’s how collectors and insiders verify the real deal:
-
Packaging Details
Original Labubu boxes have precise printing, aligned logos, and textured finishes. If the box feels cheap — trust your instincts. -
POP MART Seal
The “Verified Original Collectible” tag isn’t decoration — it’s your badge of legitimacy. Look for font accuracy, ink quality, and alignment. -
Weight & Texture
A real Labubu has a certain weight to it. The paint job is clean, the texture feels premium. Fakes feel hollow and rushed. -
Facial Expression & Eyes
Labubu’s charm lies in subtle expression. Cheap copies often get the eyes wrong — too big, too glossy, too flat. -
Drop Information
Real collectors always ask: Which drop? What ratio? What year?
If the seller doesn’t know — walk away. -
Source Trustworthiness
Buying from random marketplaces? Risky.
Buying from drop-verified platforms like ItsLabubu? Smart.
⚠ Why This Matters
-
Fakes kill value.
-
They distort the collector economy.
-
And worst of all: you lose your place in the story.
Labubu isn’t just about owning something rare — it’s about owning the real piece of a cultural wave.
