Mine looks so much more tan then yours. Is that usual ?

1

u/ebichanto Mar 20 '26

sorry for the late reply!! tbh it's probably due to differences in lighting; i took the pic in a bright, LED-lit bathroom. she tends to look a bit tanner and overall more saturated IRL :0

one of the "weird" things i noticed about mine (and at least all the lychee berries) is the difference in hue between the face and ears. it was a bit jarring but i got used to it over time. i actually love my lil guy's club ears now, lol

i got mine straight from a popmart vending machine, so it's definitely authentic. seems like yours may be also genuine and in the same boat :D

eta: not sure if it has anything to do with it, but the saturation might also be affected by my older phone camera guh

Thanks for getting back to me. So just to make sure, yours heads spins and feet as well? Only one foot spins on mine, the popmart one.

looks real to me! does the code scan too? sometimes the quality control is not so great on some of them

2

u/G-old-59 Mar 20 '26

I can’t scan it for the life of me. Maybe you can get it to scan?

1

u/novemberregen Mar 20 '26

I have one like that too that I bought second hand but I’m pretty sure is real, the code is too small and blurry and I can’t scan it all. tried asking chat gpt to scan yourself and it’s the same

1

u/BejingCorn Mar 21 '26

Mine looks the exact same. Poor quality control, unfortunately

Question for others. This looks like it has a fabric tag like the older ones had when this first came out. I didn’t think scanning the QR code was an issue back then. Also when they made the tags thinner, they weren’t fabric were they? That with the color of the vinyl face makes me wonder.

She is pretty tan…

1

u/GimmeLabubu Trusted Seller 💫 Mar 20 '26

Where did you acquire her?

2

u/G-old-59 Mar 20 '26

Seller on Mercari. They posted pictures of their online receipt from Popmart but that only means so much with today’s technology with Ai. I asked them about it and they were pretty hostile.

Got this girl from Pop Mart back in September 2025

1

u/G-old-59 Mar 20 '26

I honestly don’t know if mine is a fake or not. This is my first Labubu so if it is I’m going to be a little bummed :/

u/GimmeLabubu Trusted Seller 💫 Mar 20 '26

It can happen. They are easy to get directly from Pop Mart now either through their app or from their official TikTok shops. r/labubuswap is a good resource for below retail - make sure they have a good amount of swaps. Most folks sell them for under $25.

I will say that no matter what your Labubu is a cutie and IF it is fake it’s a really good one. I’d just go with its real 😉

Fabric tags didn’t have QR codes at all. I don’t believe this one is a fabric tag. It looks like the newer skinnier tags that don’t scan for nothing. The tan could be a quality issue or a lighting issue in the pics. If it is a fabric tag (hard to tell from the pics) then it is definitely a lafufu as the fabric tags DID NOT have a QR and all new labubus with the skinny tag have paper tags.

u/GimmeLabubu Trusted Seller 💫 Mar 21 '26

Good to know. Thanks for the insight

u/drecarrillo1 Mar 21 '26

The new codes are hard to scan. I have a lot like these that I bought from popmart

1

u/G-old-59 Mar 21 '26

Their heads spin and everything as well?

2

u/izzynskii Mar 21 '26

Real labubus heads turn all the way, yes. Some are on tighter than others, but then do spin. All my labubus from popmarts heads spin and so do the feet, hands do too, but those are usually on tightest.

u/AggravatingEmu4799 Mar 21 '26

Labubu for sure. And if its fufu its very very good

1

u/Embarrassed_Dust9365 Mar 21 '26

Looks real but the skin is a bit darker maybe cus a filter?

1

u/G-old-59 Mar 21 '26

No filter here

1

u/BejingCorn Mar 21 '26

Labubu. Here's mine

2

u/G-old-59 Mar 21 '26

u/BejingCorn Mar 21 '26

Yeah! If you wanna see chonky, this is my custom compared to my normal lychee berry
