Start with the Brand and IP

Every authentic LABUBU vinyl plush doll is produced by POP MART under the IP "THE MONSTERS" by artist Kasing Lung. Whether you're looking at a classic Labubu or the rounder cloud-dwelling Zimomo, the first thing to check is the brand and IP marking on the packaging and any attached tags. Genuine products clearly state "POP MART" and "THE MONSTERS." If the box or tag uses a different brand name, or if the IP is missing, the doll is likely a counterfeit.

Examine the Material and Build Quality

Authentic LABUBU vinyl plush dolls use a vinyl face combined with a plush body. The vinyl should be smooth and evenly colored, with no rough edges or strong chemical smells. The plush body should be soft and evenly stuffed. The catalog notes that due to different measurement methods, the product size may vary by 1-3 cm, but the overall shape and proportions should match official images. If the face feels rubbery or the plush is lumpy, it's a red flag.

Step-by-Step Authentication Check

Follow these steps to verify your LABUBU vinyl plush doll.

  1. Check the packaging: Look for the official POP MART logo and THE MONSTERS IP name. The box should have consistent fonts, no spelling errors, and a clean print. The Angel In Clouds and Rock The Universe designs have distinct artwork; compare it to official images.
  2. Inspect the doll's face and body: Authentic dolls have a vinyl face that is firmly attached to the plush body. The face paint should be neat, with no smudges or uneven lines. Zimomo's expression is described as "quietly content" – a genuine doll will match the character's design closely.
  3. Verify the material feel: The catalog specifies "Vinyl face + plush body." The vinyl should be slightly cool to the touch and the plush should be soft. If the entire doll is made of a single material or feels cheap, it's likely a fake.
  4. Look for safety and care labels: Authentic products include warnings such as "Small parts may pose a choking hazard" and "Adult supervision is required." These are printed on a tag or the box. Counterfeits often skip these details.
  5. Check the seller's reputation: Buy from authorized retailers or trusted sources like DidaPop. Pre-order items (like Rock The Universe) should have clear shipping timelines – the catalog states "ships in 3-5 days." Vague or unusually long shipping estimates may indicate a counterfeit.

What the Catalog Doesn't Tell You

The catalog does not provide a specific QR code or hologram sticker to scan. However, many POP MART products include a unique code on the box that can be verified on the official POP MART app or website. If your doll comes with such a code, use it as an additional check. Also, the catalog does not list exact weight or dimensions, so rely on visual and material comparisons rather than measurements.
