The blindboxes in the Wacky Mart series include:
Blind boxes can contain toys or figurines from different properties, from well-known characters like Hello Kitty and Winnie the Pooh and their friends, to popular manga characters like Monkey D. Luffy from "One Piece."
Some of the blind boxes' contents may be rarer than others, which can increase their value and the amount collectors are willing to pay for them if they're resold online.
Labubu blind boxes are currently being sold worldwide by the Beijing-based toy-maker Pop Mart as a part of their "The Monsters" line.
The Labubu dolls have become so popular that they've attracted the attention of resellers.
To ensure you are purchasing authentic Labubu or "The Monsters" merchandise, purchase the dolls directly from Pop Mart, its Amazon store or other major retailers.
Labubu is a creepy-looking doll with a big head, sharp teeth and big eyes who wears fuzzy pajamas. Although it comes with pajamas, consumers can purchase other clothes to dress their Labubu dolls in.
The monsters were designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung in 2015, according to Pop Mart. Lung is a Hong Kong-born artist, illustrator and toy designer, Business Insider reported.

China's Pop Mart Targets $4 Billion In Sales This Year Amid Labubu Lunacy
Seven Labubu monsters are seen during a street style fashion photo session in June in Ning, billionaire founder of Chinese toy maker Pop Mart International Group, said the company could 'easily' reach 30 billion yuan ($4.2 billion) in sales this year, after it reported sizzling first half results that included a nearly 400% rise in profit thanks to a global frenzy over its Labubu character. The 38-year-old chairman and CEO made the projection during a live-streamed conference discussing the interim results announced late Tuesday. The Hong Kong-listed company reported 13.9 billion yuan in sales for the first six months of this year, up 204.4% year-on-year, according to a stock exchange filing. Profit attributable to shareholders zoomed 397% to 4.6 billion yuan from a year earlier. Kenny Ng, a Hong Kong-based securities strategist at Everbright Securities International, says by WeChat that the results support Pop Mart's surging valuation. Shares of the company jumped over 6% as of 11:30 am Wednesday, bringing year-to-date gains to a whooping 227%. Wang, who derives his wealth from a company stake, is now China's 9th richest billionaire with a net worth of $24.9 billion, according to the Real-Time Billionaires List. Previously he was China's 10th richest person. The robust results, which easily beat the company's own projections in July, came as Pop Mart's Labubu dolls attract a rapidly growing number of fans. Featuring pointed ears, jagged teeth and a mischievous grin, the rabbit-ish toy is flying off store shelves around the world and being collected by celebrities including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. Led by Labubu, Pop Mart's Monsters series was the top sales contributor, accounting for more than one third of the company's total revenues in the first half, according to the stock exchange filing. Labubu 'ascended to global IP [intellectual property] prominence,' and is 'one of the world's most sought-after IPs in the first half of 2025,' the company wrote. In a July interview with the official Xinhua News Agency, Wang predicted faster growth abroad. He said sales from overseas markets would probably overtake those from China this year. In the first half, China accounted for 60% of the company's total revenue, according to the interim results. The Americas, including the U.S., was the fastest growing region with sales surging over 1,000% year-on-year to 2.3 billion yuan in the first half. Company executives said during the conference call that Pop Mart planned to open stores in the Middle East and central Europe this year, bringing its total number of overseas stores to 200 from a current 140.

Singer Tamar Braxton reveals she 'almost died' after bloody facial injury
Tamar Braxton is coping with a recent health scare. The "Celebrity Big Brother" winner, 48, took to her Instagram story on Aug. 19 to share that she'd broken her nose, lost "some teeth" and experienced impaired mobility over the weekend. "I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can't even really talk anymore I'm so weak," she wrote. "I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury," she wrote." "As the days go by the worse it is," she continued. 'I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility. The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins.. pray for me for real. I don't even know what happened to me.' USA TODAY has reached out to Braxton's representative for comment. Braxton, who hosts MTV's "Caught in the Act: Double Life," has a history of being open about her physical and mental struggles. As she competed on Season 21 of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2015, Braxton had to drop out of the competition after being hospitalized. What she'd thought was pneumonia was diagnosed as blood clots in her lungs. Years later, she spoke out against "toxic" forces in the television industry in 2020. After nearly a decade of starring on We TV's "Braxton Family Values" alongside her mother Evelyn and sisters, — Toni, Traci, Towanda, and Trina Braxton — she claimed she was "betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid." Braxton also mentioned her "cry for help" went unheeded, and she survived a suicide attempt. Soon after she made her story public, We TV said it would "honor her request to end all future work for the network." If you or someone you know may be struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can call or text 988 or chat online any time of day.

Julia Fox says she regrets getting cosmetic surgery but still worries about 'feeling old'
Julia Fox has some regrets about going under the knife. In an interview with Allure published on Tuesday, the actor said she got cosmetic surgery in the past to appeal to men. "Now, when I see someone and I can tell they've never done anything…I wish I could go back and be that person. I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive," Fox told Allure. The actor added it was "super important" for public figures to be transparent about the work they've gotten done, adding that she started getting filler and Botox when she was around 21. She says she "probably will" get more work done in the future, although she is "not as concerned with it right now." Even though she admires the beauty of women who can age naturally, Fox still fears growing older. "That's what I think I'm the most scared of, feeling old, and there are times where I feel old…Tired, over it, disillusioned," Fox said. "When you're young and hot, it's like that's your identity. Then you're like, shit, I need to stay young and hot." Now that she's 35, Fox says she is rethinking how she wants to age. "Am I going to chase the way I used to look, or am I going to evolve and see what's on the other side? It could be something totally different, and I'm choosing to go that way. I just want to see who's there waiting for me," Fox said. "It'll definitely be uncomfortable, but I think I'm ready for it." Fox has previously said in interviews that she's had a rhinoplasty, liposuction, and dental veneers. In June, she told People that she thought it was great that female celebrities were being open about their cosmetic surgeries. "Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?'" Fox said. "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean?" A representative for Fox told Business Insider that the star had no additional comment. These days, plenty of stars are coming clean about the work they've had done. Kylie Jenner sent TikTok into a frenzy in June when she shared details of her breast augmentation, including the name of her surgeon. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment after a fan asked about her implants. Ricki Lake also said she had a lower face and neck lift after losing 40 pounds. "I'm fully transparent, always have been. I don't want there to be any stigma. This is something that was bothering me," Lake said. On the other hand, some stars have spoken up about aging naturally in the public eye. "White Lotus" star Carrie Coon said that she gets typecast as older in Hollywood because she hasn't gotten Botox. "Authenticity is more evocative than any kind of engineering you might consider doing to your face or your body," Coon said. "Now, this is not the message coming from culture. As a woman who is 44, watching myself in HD is not easy, and it's not comfortable." Likewise, Alicia Silverstone said she's never had Botox, fillers, or cosmetic surgery, and credits her diet for keeping her youthful. "As I age, I'm aware that I don't look like everybody else. But I don't lose sleep over it," Silverstone said.
