  • Pop Mart released The Monsters Wacky Mart series featuring eight new products on June 12 online and on June 13 in stores across the U.S.
  • This drop follows Pop Mart's rapid revenue growth fueled by strong adult collector demand and limited product availability causing supply constraints.
  • Labubu, a popular plush from the series designed by Kasing Lung since 2015, remains a social media and fashion icon with fans including celebrities like Lisa of Blackpink.
  • Pop Mart's blind box sales for The Monsters generated over $419 million in 2024 with a 726.6% year-over-year increase, while 2025 Q1 U.S. toy spending by adults rose 12%.
  • Pop Mart is expanding U.S. distribution, monitoring trade negotiations affecting pricing, and plans further seasonal Labubu releases despite ongoing resale-driven market pressure.
