"Both LABUBU and Sanrio have passionate fanbases, and this partnership engages collectors and fans alike, blending timeless Sanrio appeal with the playful mischief that has made LABUBU a global icon."
"The collaboration could be effective in pooling fans from both sides and could introduce one group to another brand IP, potentially leading to a win-win scenario. Both brands are seeing solid demand from 'kidults,' so this collab could drive demand from both groups of fans."
Pop Mart and Sanrio have partnered to create a new collection featuring Labubu dolls dressed as popular Sanrio characters including Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and My Melody. The 7-inch keychains are priced at $39.99 and sold in blind boxes, while 15-inch plush dolls cost $149.90. The collection launches online Thursday at 10 p.m. E.T. and arrives in stores in April. Pop Mart has successfully collaborated with major brands like Uniqlo, Coca-Cola, and One Piece. Analysts believe this partnership effectively pools fans from both sides and appeals to 'kidults'—adult collectors who purchase toys for nostalgia and emotional support. The collaboration targets the solid demand from this demographic.
