It’s official — Labubus fever has taken over Dubai! If you’ve scrolled through Instagram or TikTok lately, you’ve likely spotted these mischievous little monsters popping up everywhere. What started as a quirky collectible has now become one of the hottest viral crazes in the UAE. And yes, we’re absolutely here for it.
For those not in the loop just yet, Labubus are those adorable monster plush toys made by the famous collectable brand Pop Mart. With their mischievous little faces, pointy ears and distinctive nine teeth, they’ve captured the hearts of kids, teenagers and grown-ups alike.
The craze has reached such heights that you’ll even spot grown adults queuing up in the Dubai heat, desperately trying to get their hands on one. Endorsed by global celebrities like Lisa from BLACKPINK, these toys have become more than just collectibles — they’re a lifestyle statement.
But with fame comes fakes, and you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the real deal. The original Pop Mart Labubus come with a neat finishing, nine sharp little teeth, and a Pop Mart logo. Spotting a fake might be harder than you think if you don’t know where to shop, so here’s your ultimate guide to the best spots in Dubai to score an authentic Labubu.
The Little Things
This is where it all began for Dubai’s Labubu fans. The Little Things is an absolute must-visit for anyone chasing down cute, quirky collectibles, and it’s the official retailer for Pop Mart’s Labubu series in the UAE.
Known for stocking everything from designer figurines to rare vinyl toys, this spot has become a haven for collectors. What’s better is that you’ll be able to grab your Labubu at the best price here, with the dolls costing Dhs79 each — a total steal compared to some of the online listings out there.
You’ll find The Little Things at Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and Bluewaters. Whether you prefer browsing through shelves or want to pick up a few surprise mystery boxes, this place won’t disappoint.
Careem
Let’s be honest — nobody likes queueing in Dubai’s summer heat. If waiting in line isn’t your vibe, Careem has stepped in to save the day. The popular delivery app now stocks Labubus through their Careem Groceries section.
Prices range between Dhs215 and Dhs280 per doll, which may be a bit of a premium compared to in-store, but hey — you’re paying for convenience and instant gratification. The stock is limited and tends to sell out quickly, so if you spot one available in your area, don’t hesitate.
There’s something oddly satisfying about having a Labubu delivered to your door in under an hour without breaking a sweat.
Deliveroo
Another hero for the queue-averse, Deliveroo has daily Labubu drops happening every afternoon at 4pm. The thrill of checking the app at just the right moment has become a new daily ritual for many fans in the city.
You can order single dolls or six-pack mystery boxes through Deliveroo, with prices starting from Dhs280. It’s a little pricier than retail, but given how hard it is to get your hands on one lately, many collectors are happy to pay the extra Dirham.
If you’re a die-hard fan, set an alarm for 3:58pm and get ready to refresh that app!
noon minutes
Fast, fuss-free and with a tiny element of mystery, noon minutes is one of the latest options for Labubu collectors. The platform promises to deliver your Pop Mart dolls in under 20 minutes — yes, really.
Each box costs Dhs299 and is delivered as a blind mystery, meaning you won’t know which little monster you’re getting until you open the box. It’s part of the fun and makes every delivery feel like a mini birthday present.
Stocks are limited and restock every day, so if you miss out one afternoon, there’s always another shot tomorrow.
You Better Fly
If you’re someone who loves mixing streetwear shopping with rare collectibles, then You Better Fly is the place for you. Located in Dubai Mall, this store is known for selling everything from limited-edition sneakers to viral collectibles — and yes, they’ve got Labubus.
Their dolls are priced between Dhs250 and Dhs300, and they often have some of the more exclusive designs and collaboration drops, like the Coca-Cola Labubu series.
The store’s vibe is a perfect mix of urban chic and collector heaven, so even if you don’t end up buying a Labubu, chances are you’ll leave with something else cool in hand.
Mad Kicks
Another sneaker and collectable haven, Mad Kicks stocks a variety of Labubus at its stores in Bluewaters and Box Park. Known for its edgy, street-culture aesthetic, this shop regularly receives drops of rare and exclusive Pop Mart designs.
Prices here typically start at around Dhs300, but the selection is solid, especially if you’re hunting for something a little different from the usual standard series.
Pro tip: follow them on Instagram or drop by on a weekend to catch surprise releases before they hit the app stores.
Nikita Efremov
Tucked away in the Mall of the Emirates, Nikita Efremov is a streetwear fashion store with a twist. Alongside their line-up of stylish urban wear, they offer a wide range of rare collectables and limited-edition figurines.
Their Labubu stock is impressive, featuring collections like Big Into Energy, Exciting Macarons, Have a Seat and the coveted Coca-Cola collab. Prices vary depending on rarity, but expect to spend upwards of Dhs280 for the more sought-after designs.
This is the perfect place for seasoned collectors and anyone wanting to grab a Labubu you won’t see everywhere else.
ALBA Street at Social Distrikt
For a more social and fun Labubu experience, check out ALBA Street at Social Distrikt in Downtown Dubai Mall. This Japanese street food joint has fully embraced the Labubu craze and is hosting weekly giveaways of Pop Mart dolls every Friday throughout June.
All you have to do is swing by for a tasty burger and you’ll automatically enter the giveaway. It’s a win-win — great food and a shot at scoring a Labubu without dropping a Dirham.
It’s a casual, community vibe with a side of collectible fever that’s quickly becoming a weekend ritual for Dubai’s coolest crowds.
Beau Restaurant
If you’re looking for a meal deal with a seriously cute bonus, head to Beau Restaurant. This chic eatery is offering a limited-time deal where you’ll get a free Labubu with every Petit Meal ordered.
For Dhs85, you get a burger, fries, a drink, apple pie and an adorable Labubu plush toy. Honestly, that alone makes it worth swinging by for dinner. Stocks are limited though, so it’s recommended to head over after 7pm when the plushies typically arrive.
It’s one of the most affordable ways to get your hands on one while treating yourself to some seriously good comfort food.

Whether you’re a collector, a casual fan, or just someone who’s curious about the hype, there’s no denying that Labubu fever has swept across Dubai. From official retailers to hip streetwear boutiques and even burger joints, everyone wants a piece of the action.
The great thing is, no matter your budget or shopping style, there’s a way to get your hands on one of these mischievous monsters. Some people love the thrill of a blind box, others prefer hunting down rare collabs, and a few are perfectly content winning one with their Friday burger.
Whatever your vibe, Dubai’s Labubu scene is buzzing right now — and the hunt is half the fun.
