What POP MART has confirmed
- The name: THE MONSTERS CAT MODE ON Series.
- The character: LABUBU, from Kasing Lung’s THE MONSTERS.
- The theme: LABUBU as a cat. POP MART’s own caption on TikTok reads “One little Meow, and the house is theirs.”
POP MART calls a teaser like this a “preheat”. It usually comes a few weeks before the full reveal, which is when the designs, the price and the release date appear.

How Much Is Labubu Cat Mode On in the UK?

When Will Labubu Cat Mode On Be Released?
The vinyl plush pendant is out in the UK on Friday 16 October 2026, the day after POP MART’s global release on 15 October. It goes on sale on the POP MART UK website, on AliExpress and in every UK POP MART store except the Hirono store on Brick Lane. It is also a Pop Now UK set that day, so you can pick your box.
Four more pieces go on sale on the POP MART UK website the same day, at 12pm: the cat-tail pendant blind box (a fluffy tail charm, not a LABUBU doll), the card holder blind box, the fridge magnet blind box and the USB cable blind box. All four are in UK POP MART stores that day too, in every store except the Hirono store on Brick Lane. The fridge magnet is not at Newcastle or Harrods. The mug, the insulated cup and the magnetic phone holder have no UK date yet.
The card holder and the fridge magnet are on AliExpress on Friday 16 October too: use the links at the top of this post.
