What is a Labubu?

Once you see a Labubu, you won't be able to unsee them! These little dolls are defined by their wide smile that displays a set of sharp teeth across their face. While most are recognized by the wide, shining set of eyes, a few dolls in the collection are pulling faces, and others have their eyes closed. Their furry bodies include ears that almost resemble a bunny's, but many are dressed up in ornate little outfits.

While these figurines are being swept off the shelves, their inspiration actually came from The Monsters trilogy, a series of stories by Kasing Lung, a Chinese artist. These books and characters took inspiration from Nordic mythology, and since then, the quirky characters he created have turned into something of a worldwide phenomenon. Thanks to a deal with Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, Lung took his characters off the page and today, these dolls are getting celebrity treatment.

Labubu vs. Lafufu: How to buy a real Labubu

These highly coveted little monsters can be purchased through Amazon (though at this time they are currently unavailable), as well as on the official Pop Mart website (also largely out of stock). Because of how in-demand these little figurines are, many have taken to sites like eBay to fulfill their Labubu aspirations. When in stock, a highly popular option is the Blind Box, in which you don't know which Labubu you will get.

Wondering if your figure is a real Labubu or a knockoff ‘Lafufu'? Check for the official Pop Mart logo on the packaging and figure, examine the fine details like sharp teeth, glossy eyes and clean paint lines. Fakes often have fuzzy features, misspelled branding, and lower-quality materials.

How much is a Labubu worth?

Looking to resell one? Depending on the rarity, a single Labubu can sell for anywhere from $15 to over $150 on resale sites like eBay-especially limited-edition or out-of-stock designs.
