How to tell your Labubu is fake

Boxes & QR Codes

• Boxes: Many fakes come in genuine POP MART boxes, sometimes with real QR stickers, so the box alone isn’t a reliable indicator. Real ones come with a card.

• QR Codes: Only use fwsy.popmart.com for QR verification. Recent Macaron Labubus have QR codes on their tags; however, older versions may not, so don’t worry if it’s missing.

Colors & Tags

• Foil: Fake Labubus sometimes have overly vibrant colors, like a banana-yellow foil
• Tags: The MONSTERS logo should be centered, with THE MONSTERS text on the top left of longer tags.

Physical Details

• Teeth: Labubu should have exactly nine teeth. Uneven or misaligned teeth paint is a red flag.

• Ears & Hairline: Fake figures often have ears spaced too far apart or a hairline set too high.
• Blush & Eyes: Authentic Labubu blush is softly diffused, not in harsh circles. Eyes should have clear irises without full black fill or scratches.
• Skin Tone: Real Labubu has a pale, peachy color; pink or yellow tones often signal a fake.
• UV Stamp: On the right foot, the UV stamp should depict Labubu sitting with legs out and arms raised. A simplified or incorrect design suggests a fake. Just a note, they just started recently doing this so previous Labubus will not have this. Don't fret if yours doesn't.
