If you’ve been seeing spiky-toothed, wide-eyed figurines all over your timeline and wondering what they are, you’re not alone. Labubu is the latest designer toy taking over global and local collector spaces.

What is a Labubu?
Labubu is a character from the “The Monsters” series created by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-based artist known for his whimsical, mischievous creatures. Labubu is recognizable for its wild fur, sharp teeth, big smile, and expressive eyes — often styled in limited-edition outfits, colorways, or collaborations.

Labubu gained significant popularity after being featured by several celebrities, most notably Lisa from Blackpink, who shared her love for the toys on social media, especially Instagram. Lisa’s influence helped push Labubu into the global mainstream, driving demand through the roof.
