Don’t Get Scammed
If you are collecting Labubu, you might run into counterfeits, especially the popular “Have a Seat” series.
Don’t worry! This guide will teach you four key authenticity checks with text explanations and images, so even beginners can easily spot fakes.
1. QR Code Verification: Box & Wash Label
- Labubu provides QR code verification, which is the most direct method.
- Box QR code: Scan with your phone to verify that the serial number matches the official database.
- Wash label QR code: The wash label on authentic plush also has a QR code for secondary verification.
2. Wash Label Check
The wash label itself is also an important authenticity clue.
- Authentic: QR code exists, printing is clear, material is soft
- Fake: QR code missing, printing blurry, or font unclear
Tip: In good lighting, check for the QR code — presence is the first quick check.
3. UV Left-Foot Mark
Authentic figures have a special mark under the left foot, visible under UV light.
-
How to check:
-
Shine a UV light on the left foot → clear official mark appears
-
Some mark is visible in normal light, but less obvious
-
-
Fakes usually lack this mark
4. Box Logo Check
The box logo is a key point to distinguish real vs fake.
-
Authentic box: Logo font shows brush strokes, edges are natural, tactile feel premium
-
Fake box: Edges smooth, no brush strokes
Note: The left side is genuine, the right side is counterfeit.
5. Summary: Four-Step Authenticity Check
-
QR code check → box & wash label
-
Wash label → QR code, printing clarity
-
UV check → left foot mark
-
Box logo → brush strokes vs smooth edges
Tip: Ask for photos or videos of the box, wash label, and foot mark to ensure authenticity.
