The Labubu collection from Pop Mart has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. From TikTok virality to celebrity styling: everyone wants a Labubu. But how exactly does it work? What is a blind box? How do you recognize a rare edition? And why are some Labubus worth hundreds of euros? In this comprehensive guide, written by Snrkickz, we take you into the world of Labubu Blind Boxes.
What is a Labubu blind box?
A blind box is a sealed package in which you don’t know which Labubu variant you will get. Each box contains a random figurine from a specific series. Think of themes like "The Monsters," "Fairy Tale," or seasonal editions. Each series often consists of 12 to 13 different figures, one of which is a 'secret edition.' This rare version often has a drop rate of 1 in 72 or even lower.
Why are Labubu blind boxes so popular?
The combination of surprise, cute design, and hype makes blind boxes irresistible to fans. Labubu’s ‘ugly-cute’ style appeals to a broad audience: from collectors to casual buyers. Social media plays a big role in this. Thousands of unboxing videos go viral daily on TikTok and Instagram, where people show off their latest find or express disappointment that they (again) didn’t get a secret edition.
How do you recognize a rare Labubu?
Not every Labubu is equally easy to find. The rarest are often the mysterious secret editions that are not on the checklist. You recognize them by unique colors such as metallic or glow-in-the-dark, striking poses or facial expressions, and especially: their absence from the box list. The value also says a lot — resale prices of €150 or more are not uncommon. So if you spot a striking Labubu without a name on the packaging, you probably have a rare specimen.
The value of a Labubu is mainly determined by rarity and the condition of the item (with packaging!). When buying, be careful of counterfeit products; buy from authorized retailers like Snrkickz to be sure of authenticity.
Labubu collecting tips for beginners
If you are just starting to collect Labubus, it can be quite overwhelming. A good tip is to start with one series that you really like, such as Labubu The Monsters of Fairy Tale. This way you stay focused and build a cool base. It’s smart to buy multiple blind boxes at once, so you have less chance of duplicates. And believe me: communities like Discord, Reddit, or Facebook are worth their weight in gold — there you can trade, sell, and learn everything about new drops. Pay special attention to the secret editions and seasonal releases, because they often sell out quickly. If you’re not paying attention, you’ll be too late.
