A Labubu isn’t some high-end collectible made from rare materials. It’s a bug-eyed toy with nine teeth that sells for as little as $15. However, certain versions have ended up fetching five or even six figures at auction.

A few of these were part of fashion or pop culture crossovers, but others were just big, weird or lucky enough to result in a bidding war. Here’s a look at the Labubu dolls that sold for prices no one expected.
Mint-Green Life-Sized Labubu
- Sold for: over $150,000
Although one might expect to pay considerably more than average for a life-size version of a Labubu, they probably wouldn’t fathom a six-figure price tag. However, a mint-green version of the doll — over four feet tall, with pointy teeth and gremlin features — went for $150,275.51 at a Yongle auction in Beijing, according to Reuters. To be fair, it was a one-of-a-kind, first-generation Labubu.

Don’t Hear, Don’t See, Don’t Speak Labubu Set
- Sold for: nearly $26,000
This three-figure Labubu set originally sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong for HK$203,200 (around $25,888 USD), per Prestige Hong Kong’s Instagram account. It had an estimate of HK$40,000 to HK$80,000 ($5,096 to $10,192 USD), but ended up fetching well above what you’d likely expect for an arguably creepy-cute set of sculptures inspired by a Confucian quote.
Brown Life-Sized Labubu
- Sold for: over $114,000
It didn’t get as much attention as the green one, but a brown life-sized Labubu, at 63 inches tall, still commanded $114,086 at the Yongle International Auction in Beijing, according to ABC17NEWS. The figure isn’t one-of-a-kind, however; it has about 14 clones across the globe.
Labubu and Vans Old Skool Plush
- Sold for: range starting around $3,200
The Labubu and Vans Old Skool plush is about 15 inches tall and looks like it just cruised out of a skate shop. The doll wears a graphic pullover, blue-and-orange cap and brown sneakers, and comes with a tiny skateboard. The face still has that sharp-toothed, gremlin look fans expect. Resale prices average around $3,200, with some listings over $5,400.
Sacai and Seventeen X Labubu
- Sold for: $31,250
This Labubu blind box drop ran during Pharrell Williams’ JOOPITER auction from June 8-18, 2025. The boxes were sealed, and buyers didn’t know which figure they’d get.Each Labubu had acid-green fur and came dressed in a beige Sacai x Carhartt WIP outfit (except for one secret version with a different outfit, per Stereogum). The dolls sold at auction for between $18,750 and $31,250 each, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
