What are some good collectible stores?
The most common store is StockX. I've had good experiences with them. Another I recommend is SNKRDUNK. The way it works is that a seller lists the item, and the item gets authenticated before it's sent to the customers.
How to safely clean a labubu?
The best way to answer that question is that I recommend preventing the need to clean your Labubu. At the end of the day, it is a plush doll, and it's going to be hard to clean. You don't want to put it into a washing machine or submerge it in water.

If you really need to clean it, you can gently dab it with a cotton ball or a damp towel. Do not use any detergent or chemicals because these might damage the color or the scent of the Labubu.
How many teeth do real Labubu have?
I agree. They should always have nine teeth! One thing to know is that their teeth are also often irregular to give them a true "monster" feel.
Is Labubu a girl or boy?
People can't argue with the designer. Kasing Lung, the designer of Labubu, has clearly mentioned that Labubu is a girl. Labubu actually has a partner named Tycoco that is a boy.

A lot of people mistake Labubu with Zimomo. Zimomo is the fatherly figure of Labubu. They look very similar. The only difference that Zimomo has with Labubu is that Zimomo has a tail. Labubu doesn't have a tail.
Why are Labubu dolls so popular?
I think the Labubu craze started during the COVID pandemic when everyone was looking for a bit of joy and excitement. Even though Labubu are plush pendants, they're actually not marketed for kids. They are marketed for adults, especially "kidults" or kids in adult bodies, like me.

Kidults think Labubus are cute, but also love the excitement of the blind box. It's fun to not know which Labubu you are going to get. Famous people - like Lisa from Blackpink - also helped contribute to the Labubu craze by buying and wearing them.
