The Instagram post from @holdbyhand flags a limited-edition Labubu release from Pop Mart’s THE MONSTERS – Forest Fairy Tale line. The caption stresses that the plush-vinyl “duck-bunny” Labubu is Mainland-China-only and can only be redeemed with a sufficient balance of Pop Mart member points—no cash purchase option mentioned. The top comments reveal two key themes: collectors eager for redemption guidance (“I just wish I knew how to redeem points!”) and price/points-value confusion (“How much does this cost?”).
Labubu Forest Fairy Tale Vinyl Plush – China-Only Drop on 26 May
Pop Mart drops a China-only Labubu Forest Fairy Tale vinyl-plush card on 26 May for 5,000 points. Specs, redemption tips & secondary-market outlook.
A fluffy-duck Labubu is incoming. Officially titled “Forest Fairy Tale” Vinyl-Plush Hanging Card, the points-mall exclusive drops 26 May 2025, 10 a.m. CST in Pop Mart’s mainland-China app for 5,000 points (historically 1 pc per ID, no restock). Expect the usual ~22 cm vinyl-face/plush-body build, Kasing Lung pedigree, and a resale spike—previous mall cards now trade at ¥600–1,200. If you want this key-clip cutie, have your points ready or budget for the aftermarket.
What’s Being Released
Product name (official CN)
“THE MONSTERS 森林童话系列-搪胶毛绒吊卡” – “Forest Fairy Tale Series – Vinyl Plush Hanging Card” from Pop Mart.
Character & styling
In the Labubu Forest Fairy Tale vinyl-plush keyclip, Labubu appears in a white plush duck suit with an orange beak visor, long ear-flaps and draw-cord webbed feet. The vinyl face plate is set into a fully plush body, as with previous cards.
Format
Vinyl-plush hybrid key-clip on a credit-card backing; past entries in the line measure ≈ 11 × 8 × 22 cm (4.3 × 3.1 × 8.7 in) and use a 66 % polyester / 25 % PVC / 9 % ABS shell with wire-reinforced stuffing.
Geographic availability
No listing has appeared for Hong Kong, Taiwan, North America or the EU. Comments in the primary leak thread suggest the drop is China-only for now; overseas collectors will need to buy on the secondary market unless Pop Mart reruns the mold later this year.
How the leak surfaced
The first image in English-speaking markets came from long-time insider Instagram account based in Indonesia @holdbyhand on 23 May; screenshots were reposted to r/PopMartCollectors moments later, where users confirmed the Pop Mart Points Mall listing and debated the design’s simplicity.
What is the Pop Mart Points Mall?
The Pop Mart Points Mall is a rewards program. Members can accumulate points through purchases, which can then be redeemed for exclusive collectibles and perks.
How Pop Mart Points Work
Earning Points: For every dollar spent at Pop Mart's official stores or website, members earn 1 point. These points are tracked through your Pop Mart membership account.
Redeeming Points: Accumulated points can be used to claim rewards such as free blind boxes or exclusive merchandise.
Redemption Conditions: Some rewards may require a minimum purchase amount or be available only during specific promotional periods. It's advisable to check the terms associated with each reward.
Creator context
Labubu and The Monsters IP were created in 2015 by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung; Pop Mart began producing the figures under license in 2019.
What collectors should know right now
Prepare your points. If you’re located in China, the 5,000-point price matches earlier mall exclusives; those sold out within minutes.
Expect rapid sell-out. Reddit consensus is that demand will outstrip supply despite mixed opinions on the duck outfit.
Authentication checklist: look for the stitched Pop Mart tag in the plush seam, a tight vinyl-to-plush join and a UV-printed date code on the backing card—consistent tells from prior cards.
Secondary-market pricing: Wings of Fortune and Fall in the Wild cards now trade in the ¥600–1,200 RMB (US $80-165) range; this piece is likely to follow, but pricing data will not firm up until after 26 May.
FAQ — Labubu “Forest Fairy Tale” Vinyl-Plush Hanging Card
What exactly is being released?
A Pop Mart Vinyl-Plush Hanging Card featuring Labubu in a white duck suit, part of The Monsters 森林童话 (Forest Fairy Tale) Series. The plush body is sewn around a vinyl face-plate and finished with a key-clip/backing card.
When and where does redemption open?
26 May 2025 at 10:00 CST inside the 积分商城 / Points Mall section of the Mainland-China Pop Mart app.
How many Pop Mart points do I need?
5,000 points per unit—no cash option.
How do I earn that many points?
Overseas programmes grant 1 point per local-currency unit spent (e.g., 1 USD = 1 point). Pop Mart has not published the exact Mainland-China ratio since its 2024 overhaul; historically it was 1 RMB = 1 point, implying ¥5,000 of prior spend for 5 k points.
Is there a purchase limit or restock?
Pop Mart hasn’t posted the cap, but every previous Points-Mall card was one per ID and never restocked. Treat this as a single-shot drop.
Will it be sold outside Mainland China?
No official listing for Hong Kong, Taiwan, North America or EU. Collectors on Reddit note it is China-exclusive for now; overseas buyers will need the secondary market.
What are the size and materials?
Prior Labubu cards measure ≈ 11 × 8 × 22 cm (incl. loop) and use a shell blend of 66% polyester, 25% PVC, 9% ABS; stuffing 95% poly + 5% wire. Pop Mart has reused this mold for all vinyl-plush cards, so expect identical specs.
Can the duck costume be removed?
Unlikely. Commenters who inspected the hi-res leak say the suit appears stitched on and not designed for removal.
Who created Labubu and The Monsters?
Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung debuted Labubu in 2015; Pop Mart licensed the IP in 2019.
How rare are Points-Mall Labubus and what do they resell for?
Production runs are undisclosed but previous unique cards (e.g., Wings of Fortune) now list HK $400–1,400 (≈ ¥380–¥1,300) on Asian resale sites, depending on condition and region.
How do I verify authenticity?
Check for (1) stitched Pop Mart logo in the plush seam, (2) tight vinyl-to-plush join (no gaps), (3) UV-printed date code on the backing card. Counterfeits typically fail at least one of these tests.
