BUtterfield 8 41,354 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Labubu is a brand of plush toys created by Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung and marketed by Pop Mart. Labubu is a brand of plush toys sold exclusively at Pop Mart, a Chinese collectibles retailer. The dolls, which belong to a tribe called The Monsters, are the latest in a long line of iconic collectible characters from Asia. Labubu dolls are fuzzy little Nordic elves with snaggletoothed, mischievous grins and impish ears. Theyâre all female, theyâre kindhearted, but sometimes, as they go about spreading joy, they get into trouble. âWell-intentionedâ trouble, though, said Emily Brough, head of licensing at Pop Mart North America. âItâs never malicious.â The creatures, conceptualized in 2015 by an artist born in Hong Kong, Kasing Lung, began as characters in a childrenâs book series. In 2019, Mr. Lung signed a partnership with Pop Mart to turn the storybook elves into collectible designer toys, starting with a line of figurines. Pop Martâs first Labubu key-ring series, called the Exciting Macaron, was released in October 2023. Each time a new Labubu has been released, it has sold out within minutes online. (Each doll costs roughly $30, but some limited-edition items can cost more.) They have spawned communities â in real life and online, where fans discuss tips on how to score dolls or dress them up and share images of their collections â and have turned into unexpected fashion accessories, often juxtaposed against luxury handbags. x  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughhouse Dandy 11,201 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 These kind of trends are very strange to me but at least they're kinda cute. So many pelicans and dolphins are going be choking on labubus in about 2 months when they stop being trendy. This is my Hannah Montanaâąïž lipgloss. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyâre already so hard to get unless youâre lucky or have a bot to buy them online. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
