The series features designs inspired by grocery stores and food, such as an earphone case modeled after a Labubu shrimp tempura.
The "collection reimagines everyday convenience store moments through the eyes of LABUBU and friends," said Emily Brough, head of IP licensing at Pop Mart, in a statement emailed to USA TODAY. "Complete with unexpected food mashups and quirky details, there is no doubt fans will fall in love."
The eight-product series includes several different blind boxes, plushes, a purse and a display case.
The series will be available to buy on Pop Mart's website on Thursday, June 12, at 10 p.m. ET.
The Monsters Wacky Mart Series can be purchased from Pop Mart's website.
Eight products make up the series, including the following listed on Pop Mart's website:
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.

Ms. Rachel says she won't work with anyone who hasn't spoken out about Gaza
Popular children's content creator Rachel Griffin Accurso, known widely online as Ms. Rachel, said in a social media post that she would refuse to work with anyone who has not spoken out against the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza. In an Instagram post on July 24, Accurso said she will "never understand" fellow content creators' silence on the treatment of Palestinians in the area, where Israeli forces have killed tens of thousands of people during the war sparked by Hamas' 2023 attacks on Israel. 'I will always choose kindness, but I will never understand your silence,' she said. 'I especially can't understand those with so much privilege - the uncancelable - who still remain in the shadows.' Ms. Rachel is known online for her YouTube series, 'Song for Littles,' with a channel amassing just under 15 million subscribers. Her videos focus mainly on teaching children nursery rhymes and basic concepts like colors, shapes and words. More: More than 100 aid, rights groups call for action as hunger spreads in Gaza Accurso targeted over advocacy Accurso has become a target of pro-Israel groups. In April, the advocacy group StopAntisemitism asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate if Accurso was 'being funded by a foreign party to push anti-Israel propaganda to skew public opinion.' The group accused the content creator of being an 'amplifier of Hamas propaganda,' saying images that she shared of children in Gaza were manipulated. In response, the creator appeared in an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan, on his independent publication Zeteo, saying that criticism for her continued advocacy for Palestinian children is unfair and that it "should be controversial to not say anything.' Accurso said her advocacy does not come from a place of antisemitism, but rather a sense of empathy for children around the world. 'I've been blessed to get this platform. And kids feel that I care about them all deeply, and that's why I have the platform. Because they feel it through the screen, because it's genuine,' Accurso said. Accurso's continued advocacy Despite backlash she's faced from some, Accurso has continued to advocate for Palestinians in Gaza. She has teamed up with Save the Children, a humanitarian nonprofit, and has also used her platform to highlight the stories of various Palestinian children. In one post, she shared the story of a 3-year-old Palestinian child who lost both legs in an airstrike. 'When I saw pictures of Rahaf in Gaza on the hospital floor, I saw the devastating consequences of endless bombing and continuous violations of children's human rights,' Accurso said.

E! News to go off the air in fall 2025 in second cancellation
After more than 30 years of wall-to-wall coverage of the pop culture universe, "E! News" is signing off the air. The entertainment news broadcast program, which launched in September 1991, has been canceled by Versant, a spin-off of parent company NBCUniversal, for the second time in its three-decade history, a person familiar with the plans who was unauthorized to speak publicly told USA TODAY. The program will continue to air new episodes through Sept. 25. Additionally, the E! Network plans to maintain its digital presence with its E! Online website and its affiliated social media platforms. In March 2020, "E! News" went on an indefinite hiatus after the E! Network suspended all of its in-studio programming due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show returned in November 2022 after it was revived as a late-night news program, co-anchored by actress-singer Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and host Justin Sylvester. This is a developing story.

Teen Cuts Contact with Adoptive Parents After They Missed Graduation to Buy $350 ‘Rare' Labubu for Biological Daughter
The Teen wrote on Reddit that she only got a $150 gift for her big day An 18-year-old girl is wondering if she made the right decision in cutting off her adoptive parents after they missed almost all of her graduation to buy their biological daughter a "super rare" Labubu doll. Taking to Reddit's popular "Am I the A-----" subreddit, the teen said that she felt "justified" but wanted a second opinion. She explained that her parents had fertility struggles when they adopted her as a baby. Eight years later, they welcomed their "miracle" baby — whom she referred to as Princess, now 10. "Princess was spoiled and clearly the favorite. She never got in trouble, was always right, got WHATEVER she wanted and acted HOWEVER she wanted," she explained. While she didn't say she was mistreated, she wrote that she felt "jealous" of the extra attention and gifts given to her younger sister. The recent graduate said that she mostly stays out of the house to cut contact with Princess. "Now I have a car and a boyfriend (since sophomore year). I stay with him a lot and his family loves me so I'm barely home, maybe 24 hours at most weekly. My parents didn't care and this was my normal so I stopped caring too," she wrote. The situation took a turn for the worse on the day of her graduation, which the teen said was "one of the few things I asked my parents to come to." Her excitement about the day was dulled when Princess found a way to "ruin" it. "See her current obsession are these doll plush keychains called Labubus, she collects them and that specific day, she found this super rare one for sale in our city," she wrote. "Now instead of contacting the seller and buying it the next day, my parents went to go get it." She continued, saying that they showed up so late for graduation that the students were already tossing their caps. Making it worse, she shared that the Labubu cost $350, and her graduation gift from her parents was $150. "I was hurt. After graduation, I ignored them and went home with my boyfriend. I've basically moved in with him at this point since anytime I went back 'home' it was to get my things to go back. My parents called, texted, apologized, even came over and begged me to forgive them, worst part of it all, they think it's the money and sent me another hundred dollars. I refused to talk to them," she wrote. The situation is getting more "serious," she said, sharing that her parents were "threatening to report me as missing/ a runaway and contact my future college if I don't go back home." Many Redditors rushed to assure the user that her actions were entirely justified. "Sibling favoritism is so crazy to me and i think it's so unfair to the one being treated poorly. The fact that they only thought it was about the money speaks high volumes about their character. it doesn't help their case either that they adopted you and can't show you the same love they have for their 'real' offspring," one person replied. They continued, adding, "i wouldn't forgive them nor would i go back to their house for a good while. until they can understand what they are doing is completely unacceptable." is now available in the Apple App Store!

"Been there, yo. people don't realize how much the 'little things' build up over time. you don't have to accept the bare minimum just 'cause it's coming from family. you deserve effort, too," another Redditor noted. Calling them "hurtful and dismissive," another person wrote that the girl's parents "prioritized a toy over your graduation." Others spoke to the legality of the situation, with many pointing out that she was legally an adult. Since she was 18, her parents had no control over what she also provided some advice and words of warning: "I would call your future college and explain that you are estranged from your parents. Tell them your parents are threatening to call the college and make a scene. Update all your contact info. Ask that a note be put on your profile that you do not authorize them to make any changes or obtain any information." "Honestly missing an important event like graduation for some stupid and expensive keychain, is just the straw that broke the camels back," another user commiserated. "I understand the princess being a miracle baby, but I have a feeling that in the next five to ten years your parents are really going to regret not disciplining her more."
