🇲🇽 Where to Score (Real) Pop Mart in Mexico — Offline & Online
🌟 Last Updated May 25, 2025 🌟
Screen-grab from the TikTok clip “Nuevos artículos PopMart en Friki Plaza Querétaro”: at stall Subarashii MX (local 381) inside Plaza de la Tecnología, a vendor scans the Pop Mart QR tag on a The Monsters plush while showing off fresh Labubu, Crybaby, and Hirono arrivals—proof they’re original.
Labubu mania has finally washed over Mexico, but Pop Mart still hasn’t opened a single flagship or licensed “robo shops” here. Everything below comes from independent importers or e-commerce storefronts, so double-check seals and QR/NFC tags before you hand over pesos. We don’t earn a cent from these recommendations, aren’t affiliated with any seller, and can’t take responsibility if your purchase goes sideways.
Quick picks
Mall Pop-Ups & Lifestyle Centers (Nationwide): Mexico’s next-gen lifestyle malls—think Distrito La Perla GDL (an open-air park-style campus on an old Kodak site), Centro Santa Fe (the country’s biggest mall, 500 stores) and Parque Delta (18M visitors a year, expanded 2016)—pair weekend cosplay or K-culture events with secure, well-lit kiosks like Ulani MX. Expect same-week Labubu, Skullpanda and Hirono drops, card-friendly checkout and plenty of bright space to scan QR/NFC tags on the spot.
Best Geek-Mall Chain for Blind Boxes (Nationwide): Friki Plaza — This network of “geek malls” in CDMX, Guadalajara, Querétaro & beyond hides dozens of micro-shops that quietly import Pop Mart blind boxes. Stock shifts stall-by-stall.
Best Street Market for Labubu (CDMX): Metro Balderas Toy Market — In late 2025, the open-air toy market near Mexico City's Metro Balderas experienced a notable transformation. Once dominated by vendors selling Hot Wheels and vintage toys, the market shifted its focus to Sylvanian Families—locally known as "ternurines"—driven by a surge in popularity on social media platforms, as well as plushies like Labubu. This change attracted a diverse group of collectors and enthusiasts, leading vendors to adapt by offering a wide array of these figures and their accessories, thereby reshaping the market's identity.
Best Sunday Treasure Hunt (CDMX): La Lagunilla Market — Every Sunday, La Lagunilla transforms into one of Mexico City's most renowned flea markets. Spanning several blocks, the market offers everything from antiques and vintage clothing to handcrafted goods. Collectors can explore stalls filled with unique items, including potential Labubu treasures. The market's rich history and eclectic mix of vendors provide an exciting shopping experience for those willing to hunt for hidden gems.
Potential Online Option #1: Pop Mart Mexico Shop (popmartmexico.shop) – We can’t verify legitimacy. Avoid sites where the QR scan lands on anything but popmart.com. Pop Mart headquarters has warned fans about spoof pages stealing logos and checkout flows.
Potential Online Option #2: Pop Mart México (popmart-mx.com) – Again, be careful!
Border run backup: Pop Mart official store at Westfield UTC, San Diego (45 min from Tijuana).
