Why a toothy monster named Labubu is taking over the World Cup (and where to buy one)

The Monsters x FIFA world cup collaboration labubu.

TL;DR: Pop Mart’s Labubu World Cup 2026 collection is available on Amazon and through select retailers. You can grab the “Catch the Win” plush and keychains right now with Prime shipping.


If you tuned into the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Mexico City last week, you probably noticed giant, pointy-eared plush figures running around and stealing the spotlight. That’s Labubu — the mischievous, cult-favorite character from Pop Mart’s “The Monsters” series. Pop Mart and FIFA collaborated on a limited-edition “The Monsters x FIFA Series” to celebrate the tournament.

Between the viral World Cup cameo and making history as the very first Chinese IP to make an appearance at the event, fans and collectors are currently clearing out inventory wherever they can find it.

If you want to get your hands on one before they sell out, your best bet right now is Amazon. Pop Mart recently opened an official storefront on the site, so you can grab the “Catch the Win” Vinyl Plush Doll for $149.99, plus a handful of themed World Cup keychains.

Word of caution: If Amazon sells out and you end up buying from an authorized third-party retailer (like BoxLunch, Hot Topic, or Walmart), make sure to check the box when it arrives. Every legit Labubu comes with a holographic security sticker and a QR code that links directly to Pop Mart’s database for verification. You can also just count the teeth — a real Labubu has nine.
