Child wants a “6 pack of Labubu” for Xmas and I haven’t got a clue

Geranium879 · 11/12/2025 22:22

I’m just starting my Xmas shopping … I know I know… my 6 year old has put this on her xmas list. They’re ugly little dolls right? A six pack… she must mean small ones. I can only find keyrings. She’s also written “Labubu pencil case”… why aren’t there any Labubu things on Amazon?! Please help!

I am refusing to collude with all this Labubu nonsense. My DD asked for a Labubu too but she will not be getting one. Kids are so spoilt nowdays.

Yes that’s right.. I don’t even know what she will do with it ! Hang it on her bag i imagine.

anyway, I have a plan.

tomorrow morning I am going to announce that I heard it on the news that Santa doesn’t have enough Labubu’s to give out six packs, but he has said he’ll try to give every body that asked ONE Labubu plus a small extra surprise present. And I’ll ask her which colour she is hoping for.

see how that goes ….

Perfect answer. These are touted as "collectibles". If Santa doesn't have enough for all 6 then at least she will have one genuine one she can parade for the kudos (we have all been there before, be it Cabbage Patch Dolls (showing my age here), Barbie, Furbies etc etc.

Her list is so cute, and of course source the pencil case where you can. That's what I would do.

CherrieTomaties · 11/12/2025 23:58

Just wanted to say I love the drawing of the reindeer on her list 🤣

And at the top of the list, is that a BBQ? Sounds like you have an awesome child!

But yeah… I would probably get her 1 real labubu because 1 is expensive enough.

Alfontheshelf · 11/12/2025 23:56

Uniqlo has some quite cute labubu jumpers and T-shirts at the moment. They are an official collaboration with popmart

Needmorelego · 11/12/2025 23:55

People need to remember there is a difference between "fake" and alternative/similar brands.
Ones sold at legit high street shops (from the actual shop - not online) will not be "fake". Just a similar toy.

Joeninety · 11/12/2025 23:54

Lowenbrau perhaps ?

You have to be careful with the Range online as a lot of their items are 'marketplace' items from third party sellers so you can end up with something crap and fake. I think sports direct also have third party sellers.

I would reccomend only getting them directly from Pop mart.

I saw them in the actual shop.

Don’t ask re the colour. It’s a blind box. You can’t specify which colour - you get what you get!

Yes but that’s double the £18 they were on the original Popmart or whatever it is website a few days ago - I got two for dd.

I’d just get one real one if they can be had for £18, its all she needs to hang on her bag and you don’t have to worry about duplicating it or having to buy that horrendous ‘six-pack’ to avoid duplicates.

I was shocked when I saw the price, they’re just little ‘troll’ type collectibles, right? Not even toys?

How are the fakes dangerous? I mean, they do look like they'd animate after you went to sleep, climb up the side of your bed and stick a knife in your neck, but ...

Use of illegal material, potentially toxic, the dolls eyes fall out and become a choke hazard. People who make fakes just don't care about safety laws.

DisgruntledofTunbridge · 11/12/2025 23:33

I've only heard of them via this thread and I have to admit, they do have a certain appeal ... they remind me of those Pikachu little monkeys from the 80's, the ones with moulded plastic faces and fur fabric glued on, and they could suck their thumbs. I loved my Pikachu. These are Pikachus that have drunk Dr Jekyll's serum! Grin

but honestly, how much can they possibly cost to make? They look like I'd pay about a tenner tops.

Pepperedpickles · 11/12/2025 23:29

Do not get fake ones if she’s asking for one, she will know it’s fake and be disappointed. Just get one of the £16-18 ones from Pop website as posted earlier - that’s better than 6 fake ones.

DisgruntledofTunbridge · 11/12/2025 23:28

Keepingittogetherstepbystep · 11/12/2025 22:57

Don't buy fakes they are dangerous. I've got a bag full of them I bought for my shop. I didn't know they were fake, found out a few days later and refuse to sell them I'd rather loose money than put kids at risk.

IkeaMeatballGravy · 11/12/2025 23:24

Yeah the Sports direct ones are from a third party seller "rewards and gifts LTD" I wouldn't risk spending nearly £300 on those if I were you.

Needmorelego · 11/12/2025 22:34

Here's a similar product from The Range.
So these aren't "fake" Labubu but just a similar style toy.
They might be ok...
(picture incoming)
I've seen similar in The Works too.

I suspect this is what she want - not exactly cheap!!

£279?!!!

But odd they are more at Sports Direct than their official retailer.

I told DD that they are all out of stock and hopefully Santa will be able to find one for her (not the ten she asked for). I got a couple of them on hype locker uk. Luckily she doesn’t really seem to want much this xmas.

This is a good idea . I’ll try saying this in the morning… I agree that one hideous doll is better than six.

My DD is getting one labubu for Christmas, I got it from their tiktok shop for £18ish. She already has one from an actual popmart shop, apparently those are the only two places you can guarantee they're genuine. I think they're pretty easy to get now the hype is dying down.
