Is there a way to get the Pop Mart Labubu Year of the Horse series delivered to Japan before everyone else?

Is it actually possible to skip the local Japan waitlists and get the Pop Mart Labubu Year of the Horse series directly from the US? If you have been scrolling through toy forums lately, you know that the February 2026 release of the zodiac series has caused a massive stir. While collectors in Thailand are sweeping up every unit they can find, the US market remains one of the best places to secure authentic, high-quality units before they disappear into the secondary market at double the price.

Why is everyone in Japan chasing the Labubu Year of the Horse series?

The 2026 Year of the Horse edition is not just another blind box. Labubu, the mischievous monster designed by Kasing Lung, has taken on a majestic yet playful equestrian theme that resonates perfectly with the lunar cycle. Since the release in February 2026, these figures have become a status symbol among collectors. Because the Japan stock often sells out within minutes of a restock, many local fans are looking at us trends to see where the surplus inventory is hiding.

Where to find authentic stock in the US

To get your hands on these figures, you need to look at major US retailers or the official Pop Mart US webstore. Often, the US versions are preferred because they come with specific regional licensing stickers that collectors value. If you want to shop us store sites like a local, you will need a dedicated shipping address in the states to avoid high direct-shipping fees or retailers that simply do not ship to Tokyo or Osaka.

The fastest way to ship your Labubu to Japan

If you are looking for a speed run to get your package to your door, using a international shipping service is the most efficient route. Once your Labubu arrives at your tax-free us address, you can manage the forwarding process to ensure it gets to you in a matter of days. For those worried about the total cost, using a shipping calculator helps you see exactly what the freight will cost before you even hit the checkout button on the US site.

Why your credit card might get declined and how to fix it

Have you ever tried to buy a limited-edition drop only to have your order cancelled immediately? Many US stores, including high-end toy retailers and brands like Nike or Sephora, often block international credit cards or decline orders sent to known freight forwarders. This is a massive headache when you are trying to beat the clock on a 2026 Labubu drop.

The solution is comGateway’s BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping option means we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This bypasses the typical filters that stores use to block international buyers. This assisted purchase is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by a picky retailer, ensuring your Horse Series Labubu actually makes it to our warehouse.

What you need to know about Japan import rules for toys

When you buy from US ship to Japan, you should be aware of the local regulations regarding toys and collectibles. Japan is generally friendly toward toy imports, but if your total order value exceeds 10,000 JPY, you might be subject to certain taxes. You can check our detailed guide on import tax to see how the consumption tax might apply to your specific haul. Ensuring you have the right documentation for Japan delivery will prevent your new Labubu from getting stuck at the border. Generally, for a single collectible figure, the process is very smooth and fast.

By using a freight forwarder and choosing the right shipping method, you can have your 2026 Year of the Horse Labubu on your shelf in Japan while your friends are still waiting for a local restock email. If you're ready to start, head over to your favorite US toy site and use your ship to Japan address today.
