What is a Labubu?
Labubu is a doll that resembles a monster, featuring a large head, sharp teeth, and prominent eyes. The Labubu keychains everyone is obsessed with are furry and come in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
Pop Mart has sold small Labubus, some shaped like shrimp tempura, carrying Coke products, dressed as pumpkins, and more.
Some people might say the doll looks a bit scary, while others think it’s downright adorable.
The doll was designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung roughly a decade ago.
But today, Labubus are sold worldwide by the Beijing-based toy maker Pop Mart, as part of their “The Monsters” line.
