How to Tell If You Have a Legit or Fake Labubu!
Packaging
There are several things to look out for when checking for a fake Labubu… or Lafufu. From the quality of the boxes to incorrect information, there’s a lot to look out for. Here’s everything you should keep an eye on:
- Package quality: A fake Labubu box will be kinda brittle, while the real shit is sturdier with clear print.
- Item code: So, a real Labubu box will have a scannable barcode and QR code. And if you look up that barcode number, the result should match your box.
Item Quality
- Real Labubus have clean paint lines and colors
- Fake labubus feel too plastic-y while real ones feel heavier
- If you get a strong plastic smell from your Labubu, there’s probably something wrong with it
Face details
- The famous Labubu expression shouldn’t change, and the number of teeth is 9
- A fake Labubu could have its eyes off-center, which is a complete no-no
Price
- If the price is too good to be true, it probably is
- You should do your research when you make a third-party purchase. Take a look at famous platforms like StockX to gauge the price you should be paying. Whether the price is too high or too low, that should be a red flag.
Some Extra Line-Specific Details to Watch Out For
- Animal costumes should have the proper texture. Things like the faux fur should be molded and shouldn’t feel like they’re glued on.
- Vintage or Camp Series fakes can look duller with sloppy details.
- Glow-in-the-dark Labubus should glow evenly. A fake Labubu will glow inconsistently or even barely do so.
