Tribune Online on MSNLabubu dolls: China’s Pop Mart posts nearly 400% profit surge on global demand
Chinese toymaker Pop Mart (9992.HK) has reported a stunning 396.5% surge in first-half net profit, driven by soaring global demand for its wildly popular Labubu dolls and stronger sales in higher-margin overseas markets.
Pop Mart, a store known for its creation of the trending Labubu dolls, is set to open its first Massachusetts store at the Natick Mall. The store sells a variety of collective figures that are either original characters or in collaboration with popular franchises such as Disney, The Powerpuff Girls, Minions and Harry Potter.
The CPSC says the fake Labubu plush figures and plush key chains are small enough that a young child could put one in their mouth and block their airway, creating a risk of choking and death. The agency also reported instances of the counterfeit toys breaking apart and releasing small pieces that could become ingestion or choking hazards.

Labubu toys, originally designed by artist Kasing Lung and released by Pop Mart, have skyrocketed in popularity thanks to their unusual mix of cute and creepy. They’re a staple in blind-box culture, which means normally you don’t know which figure you’re getting until you open it, and that unpredictability has made certain editions wildly valuable.
In a financial report released Aug. 19, Pop Mart said it has seen a net profit of 396% and a 204% jump in revenues due to Labubus.
