Fans of the Labubu dolls expressed frustration as Pop Mart halted sales in UK stores amid chaotic scenes and safety concerns. The decision followed reports of customers fighting over the dolls, which have surged in popularity partly due to celebrity endorsements and social media trends. Many fans camped out for hours, resulting in tense situations and interactions with employees. The iconic plush toys, designed by artist Kasing Lung, have become a collector's item, drawing significant reseller prices, prompting Pop Mart to prioritize customer safety by pausing sales.
It was just getting ridiculous to be in that situation where people were fighting and shouting and you felt scared, she told the BBC.
Due to the increasing demand for our beloved Labubus, we've seen a significant rise in customer turnout on restock days with long queues forming outside our stores.
