Labubu Fans Flock to Stores After Launch of Mini Dolls
Pop Mart's mini Labubu dolls sold out minutes after release, with resellers marking up prices by up to 230%, reflecting sustained global collector demand.
- Pop Mart International Group launched its new mini Labubu dolls online and in stores on August 28 and 29, 2025, selling out almost instantly across China and key overseas markets.
- The launch followed strong consumer demand driven by the dolls' hand-sewn complexity, which Pop Mart CEO Wang said causes a slow, staggered release limiting production speed.
- The 10.5cm mini Labubus come in 28 standard editions priced at 79 yuan each in China and are sold via blind boxes, creating a high demand bolstered by influencer and celebrity exposure.
- Resellers offered full 14-box cases at up to 2,600 yuan—more than double the official 1,106 yuan retail price—with Wang Xiaolei planning to resell at about 1,700 yuan, netting around 600 yuan profit.
- Pop Mart's stock rallied 262% in 2025 to HK$435.7 billion market value, making founder Wang one of China's youngest billionaires, while the sustained demand signals ongoing strong enthusiasm for Labubu products.
