Labubu: Hollywood’s Latest Entertainment Craze Unleashed

Why Everyone Is Obsessed with Labubu: The Viral Pop Mart Toy Taking TikTok by Storm

Labubu, the furry toy character with rabbit-like ears and a nightmarish grin, has taken the world by storm. From Asia to the U.S., people are scrambling to get their hands on the latest edition of this collectible toy, sparking buying frenzies and causing chaos in toy stores.

On a recent Wednesday at Stonestown Pop Mart, a Beijing-based toy store distributing Labubu dolls, chaos ensued as the store faced thefts, fights involving pepper spray, and overall pandemonium. The frenzy surrounding Labubu is not just about a cute toy, but the thrill of the hunt. With blind boxes that conceal the surprise Labubu inside, the excitement is palpable and a craze is born.

This viral phenomenon can be traced back to the worlds of K-pop and TikTok. When BLACKPINK’s Lisa and other celebrities like Rihanna and Dua Lipa started flaunting their Labubu collections online, the toy became an instant must-have among fashion elites and collectors. Created by artist Kasing Lung, Labubu is part of The Monsters troop, each uniquely styled and coveted by fans.

The popularity of Labubu has soared, with Pop Mart generating staggering revenue from the sales of these plush monster dolls. Priced between $21.99 and $39.99, Labubu dolls are frequently out of stock, leading to scuffles in stores and exorbitant resale prices online. The scarcity only adds to the hype surrounding these adorable yet fierce creatures.

Labubu has become the latest TikTok sensation, with millions of views dedicated to showcasing collections and unboxing videos. As the Labubu craze continues to sweep the globe, one thing is clear – everyone wants a piece of this furry, toothy, and irresistibly charming toy.
