Pop Mart blind boxes are sealed, so you do not know which figure you get until you open the box. That mystery is the fun, and it is also why Labubu demand pushes some listings far above the usual retail price. This guide covers where to buy, how pricing logic works, and how to avoid fakes. For current deals, see our Pop Mart Philippines deals page.
Official vs Resale: Where to Buy
The official route is Pop Mart's own store or app, plus official brand stores on marketplaces. You get original packaging and the standard price. Resale means individual sellers listing boxes or figures, often for designs that sold out. Some resale sellers are honest, but prices are set by the seller and not by Pop Mart, so they can swing a lot.
Blind Box vs Set: How the Pricing Logic Works
A single blind box has the lowest entry price, but you may get a duplicate or not the design you wanted. A full set costs more up front because you are paying for every design in the series. Some collectors buy a few single boxes and then trade for the rest, which can cost less or more depending on luck. Prices differ by series and change over time, so check the current price on the store page before comparing.
| Option | Upfront cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single blind box | Lowest | Trying one series, surprise lovers |
| Full set | Higher | Collectors who want every design |
| Secret or sold-out design | Varies, often above retail | Specific chase figures, buy with extra care |
These are general patterns, not listed prices. The best Pop Mart Philippines deal is usually the official price plus any marketplace voucher or shipping perk you can stack on top.
How to Spot Fake Labubu
- Price that looks too good: a deep discount on a popular design is a warning sign.
- Packaging: compare box art, printing sharpness, seals and text against the official listing photos.
- Finish and paint: fakes often show uneven paint, rough seams or off colors.
- Seller history: no brand badge, a new shop or vague photos are reasons to pause.
- Unboxing proof: request clear photos and keep your own unboxing record for any dispute.
No single sign is conclusive, so use several together and when in doubt, buy from an official store.
Buying Safely on Shopee and Lazada
Both marketplaces host official brand stores, and these are the best place to look for stock with buyer protection. Open the shop page, check for the official badge, read recent buyer feedback, and compare the same item across Shopee Philippines and Lazada Philippines. Marketplace vouchers and shipping offers change often, so compare the final total at checkout, not just the sticker price.

When to Buy for the Best Value
Big marketplace sale days can bring vouchers and shipping perks, and the 11.11 sale is one of the biggest of the year. Stock and discounts vary, and popular designs can sell out fast, so decide your budget and your must-have designs in advance. Paying a little more at an official store usually beats overpaying a resale seller.
