I. Behind LABUBU's popularity: the challenge of "quality control and counterfeiting" of the fashion game

Recently, for the first time, Amazon, in cooperation with Chinese trend culture brand POP MART, successfully cracked down on a supplier of counterfeit toys in cooperation with the local market supervision department in Zhejiang Province. The supplier was selling counterfeit THE MONSTERS LABUBU toys to Amazon sellers through a domestic e-commerce wholesale website. After months of tracking and investigation in China, Amazon's global anti-counterfeiting team identified the supplier and transferred the case to the local law enforcement authorities where the supplier was located. In April this year, the law enforcement department seized more than 700 pieces of counterfeit LABUBU key pendants and thousands of packaging materials on site.

(i) Pre-production inspection

  1. Verify factory qualifications (whether they have cooperated with brands such as Bubble Mart, 52TOYS, etc.);
  2. Ensure that the foundry meets the high-precision production requirements (e.g., enameling process, painting consistency) of LABUBU and other trendy games

(ii) Mid-production inspection (DPI)

Sample production line semi-finished products and focus on inspection:

  1. Painting color difference: LABUBU signature gradient color saturation, Pantone color card color comparison;
  2. Joint mobility: Blind box dolls need to meet more than 30 times of non-destructive twisting test;
  3. Pre-shipment inspection: sampling according to AQL standards, simulating the transportation environment to test the compression resistance of the packaging; 100% full inspection of high unit price limited edition, to avoid the dispute of "hidden models being switched".
