The Labubu Craze: Kidulting, Collectability, and Why You Need One Before the Holidays

If you’ve scrolled through social media lately, you’ve probably noticed an explosion of Labubu fever. These whimsical characters from Pop Mart have captured the hearts of fans worldwide—not just kids, but adults too. This trend taps into the rise of “kidulting”—a movement where adults embrace playful collectibles, toys, and accessories as a form of self-expression and joy.

And Labubu isn’t just about collecting figurines anymore—it’s about styling. The new Labubu pendant cards and plush charms have become the go-to accessory for fashion-forward fans. They’re being clipped onto handbags, backpacks, and crossbody bags, transforming everyday items into conversation starters. Think of it as wearable art that blends nostalgia, trend, and personality all in one.

The Rise in Labubu Collectibility

Labubu has moved beyond being “just another collectible.” These quirky characters are now being compared to the likes of Be@rbricks and Funko Pops in terms of investment potential. With each new series, resale prices skyrocket, and certain designs become nearly impossible to find once they sell out.

Collectors know this all too well: what’s available today at a reasonable price may double—or even triple—during peak demand seasons. That’s especially true as we head into the holiday shopping rush.

Beware of Fakes

With popularity comes imitation—and unfortunately, fake “Lafufus” and knock-off Labubus are popping up everywhere. These counterfeits may look similar in pictures, but they lack the craftsmanship, quality, and long-term value of the real deal.

At Labubu Vault, we pride ourselves on authenticity. Every item we sell is 100% authentic and verifiable—no replicas, no fakes, ever. When you shop with us, you can feel confident that your Labubu is the real thing, backed by our commitment to integrity and customer care.

Why You Should Act Now

If you’re thinking about grabbing a Labubu pendant or plush card for yourself—or as a gift—now is the time. Here’s why:

• High Holiday Demand: As Labubu continues to trend on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, expect a surge of buyers this holiday season.

• Limited Inventory: Pop Mart releases in small batches, and once they’re gone, they’re often gone for good.

• Rising Value: Current pricing is still within reach, but with the holidays approaching, scarcity will push prices higher.

So, whether you’re a long-time collector or a newcomer drawn in by the magic of Labubu, don’t wait. Secure yours now and avoid the holiday rush (and price spikes).

The Perfect Gift for Collectors and Kidults

Labubu pendant cards are more than just an accessory—they’re a lifestyle statement. They make perfect gifts for friends, family, or even yourself. With their mix of playful charm and growing collectability, they’ll bring joy today and hold their value tomorrow.

Final Thought

The Labubu craze isn’t slowing down—it’s only getting bigger. With the holidays around the corner, these little treasures are going to disappear fast, and prices will climb just as quickly. Don’t get stuck wishing you’d grabbed one sooner—secure your Labubu now while you still can!

But here’s the catch: not every Labubu out there is the real deal. Even malls and pop-up shops have been spotted selling knock-off “Lafufus.” The safest move? Always ask about authenticity before you buy, and shop from a trusted source, scan the QR codes to ensure authenticity.

So go ahead—treat yourself (or someone you love) to the magic of Labubu today. Because when the holiday rush hits, you’ll be glad you got yours first. ✨
