Q1: Did Pop Mart release a secret, limited-run solid gold Labubu for VIPs?
Pop Mart has never released an official solid 24K gold Labubu figure. Company production logs, investor reports, and official artist archives show no record of solid bullion toys. Any gold-toned Labubus seen online are either aftermarket customs made by independent artists or fake replicas.
Q2: Why are people claiming their gold Labubu is worth over $25,000?
Viral TikTok creators and custom jewelers have produced one-off statues using brass, silver, or electroplated gold finishes to attract views and drive engagement. Valuations quoted in these social media clips reflect speculative social media marketing rather than established open-market transactional sales.
Q3: How can I tell if a rare metallic Labubu is counterfeit?
Check the anti-counterfeit QR code on the packaging using Pop Mart’s official verification server. Count the teeth to ensure there are precisely nine, verify the crispness of the foot stamp typography, and weigh the figure. Authentic vinyl figures have consistent factory-calibrated weights that differ sharply from leaden recasts or brittle bootleg hollow plastics.
