The little elf with the toothy grin isn't going anywhere. If you're wondering where to buy Labubu in Hong Kong — the collectible that turned bag charms into a global obsession — the short answer is: through Pop Mart, and Hong Kong has plenty of ways to get one. Here's exactly where to look in 2026, what to pay, and how to actually land the drop you want.
What are Labubu and Pop Mart?
Labubu is a character; Pop Mart is the shop. Labubu is a mischievous, sharp-toothed little creature from "The Monsters" series, dreamed up by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung (龍家昇). Pop Mart, the Chinese designer-toy giant, sells the figures as blind boxes — sealed packs where you don't know which design you've got until you open it.
That mix of cute design and gamble is exactly why they took over the world from 2024 onwards, helped along by celebrity fans clipping them to their handbags. Hong Kong, with Lung's local roots and Pop Mart's deep retail footprint, is one of the best cities anywhere to hunt them down — a natural stop on any Hong Kong shopping trail.
Where can you buy Labubu in Hong Kong?
There are four main routes, from bricks-and-mortar to your phone. Each has trade-offs on stock, queues and convenience:
1. Pop Mart stores. The full-size shops carry the widest range and staff can point you to current series. Pop Mart runs a network of stores across Hong Kong — Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, Central and more — with the official count sitting comfortably in double figures.
2. Robo Shop vending machines. Pop Mart's automated "Robo Shop" kiosks pop up in MTR stations, malls and at the airport, handy for a quick grab when the stores are mobbed.
3. The official app and website. Pop Mart's own app and online store are the most reliable way to catch a specific launch, and they sidestep the queues entirely.
4. Travel retail (for tourists). DFS T Galleria and airport outlets stock Pop Mart too, which is convenient if you're buying on the way out of town.
The flagship stores worth visiting
If you want the fullest range and the best odds of finding a current series, start with these two well-established flagships. Always double-check the live store list, as Pop Mart adds and moves locations regularly.
Pop Mart — Harbour City (Tsim Sha Tsui)
Location per the Harbour City directory. One of Pop Mart's busiest Hong Kong flagships, inside the LCX zone of the sprawling Canton Road mall.
Pop Mart — Langham Place (Mong Kok)
Address and hours per Pop Mart's Hong Kong listings. Langham Place connects straight to Mong Kok MTR, so it's an easy add-on to a day around Kowloon.

How much does a Labubu cost?
Less than you'd fear for the hype — at least at retail. Standard Pop Mart blind boxes generally start at around HK$79 to HK$110 each, depending on the series. A full "set" of a series costs more, and the rare "secret" figures — the ones with tiny pull odds — are what drive the resale frenzy.
At the top end, larger MEGA collectibles and limited editions climb into the hundreds or thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The golden rule: pay retail at Pop Mart wherever you can, and treat resale prices as a separate, much pricier market. For more character-led fun, see our guide to the Forever Toys at Harbour City.
Tips for landing the latest drops
Speed and planning beat luck. New series sell out within hours, so a little prep goes a long way:
Follow the app. Pop Mart Hong Kong announces release dates and restocks through its app and socials — turn on notifications. Arrive early on launch days, especially at Harbour City and Langham Place, where queues form before opening. Know the series you want so you're not paying resale premiums on impulse, and check the box weight/feel only where the store allows it — many now prevent "box tapping" to keep things fair.
Building a collection is part of a bigger wave of character retail in the city, from the Jellycat Yacht Club to seasonal character pop-ups — all worth folding into a shopping day.
