It seems like the surging rise of interest in Labubu dolls is still very much a reality. According to BBC News, recently a Chinese auction house secured a massive sale, bringing in $150,000 after someone paid a fortune to claim a “human-sized” version of one of the hit elf-like creatures.
The doll was said to stand at 4 feet and 4 inches (131 cm) and it was sold at the Yongle International Auction house in Beijing for the mega price of 1.08 million yuan, which is the equivalent of around $150,000 or £110,000.
According to the report, this is the most expensive toy sale that the auction body has ever clocked, with this one sale amounting to around a third of the total auctions profits. For reference, while Labubu dolls are collectibles, they tend to sell for around 50 yuan in China.
