Labubu just became the first Chinese-original toy IP invited to a FIFA opening event. Confirmed via Pop Mart's official collection launch and reported by Forbes and The Toy Book, THE MONSTERS x FIFA Series debuted online April 2 at 10pm EST and in stores nationwide April 3, marking Labubu's first-ever sports collaboration.
This is a confirmed launch with locked product pricing, so here's what's included.
Pop Mart's official collection launch, as reported by Forbes, confirms the following:
Labubu becoming the first Chinese-original toy IP ever invited to a FIFA opening event marks real cultural significance beyond typical merchandise tie-ins, reflecting how far Pop Mart's flagship character has traveled from a niche collectible into mainstream global recognition.
Rather than a single hero item, Pop Mart built the collection around multiple blind box formats, including a football-shaped bag and pendant light, which keeps the line accessible at lower price points while still anchoring it with the premium $149.99 plush.
Since the collection sold out online within hours across over 40 countries, secondary market pricing and restock watching are now the primary paths to ownership for most collectors.
For the 14.96-inch Catch the Win plush and other larger vinyl pieces, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case offers sizes up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches for dust-free display.
For the smaller blind box figures and keychains, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add tiered shelf presence for a growing collection.
Online April 2, in stores April 3, 2026.
$149.99.

Yes, within hours online across more than 40 countries.
The Labubu x FIFA collection marked a genuine cultural milestone for Pop Mart, selling out almost immediately and cementing Labubu's crossover appeal well beyond collector circles. With official stock gone, watching for restocks or pop-up events remains the safest path to ownership.
Having proper display protection ready means whatever pieces you do secure stay in top condition.
