Customising your POP MART and collectables are a thing these days. Just look at the wave of TikTok shops offering Sonny Angel keyring customisations. Next, and arguably the quirkiest, iteration of this trend is the Singaporean clinic, Minmedgroup, offering braces for your Labubu doll.
In an Instagram video, Minmedgroup advertised their Labubu braces services. You can get 1 doll braces for $45, or have 2 customised for $80. You get to choose the colour of Labubu’s braces too. It’s not cheap, obviously, given that you can get the doll for under $20, but it’s up to you to decide if the custom is worth it.
The service is only available at Minmed Dental’s Jurong West and Marine Parade outlets.

Labubu is one of POP MART’s signature series, starring a mischievous-looking monster with sharp teeth and bunny ears. Designed by Kasing Lung, the character boomed in popularity after BLACKPINK’s Lisa showed off her collection on Instagram.
Labubu is available in many different formats, from vinyl figurines to fluffy plushies that can double up as bag charms. The latter sort is much more popular, and it’s what people are sticking braces on.
Aside from Minmedgroup’s promotion, there are other online creators, especially in Thailand, DIY-ing braces for their Labubu doll, though we’re not sure where they managed to bag their supplies.
Braces are just one of the many ways people are customising their Labubu monsters. Other online creators have made outfits, added wigs, or even repainted their Labubus.
As blind box collectables continue to grow as a trend, we’re excited to see the weird and wonderful ways people continue to customise them!
