What Is a Labubu Doll? Labubu dolls—created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and produced by Pop Mart—are quirky “elf-like monster” collectibles that exploded on social media after celebrity sightings (like BLACKPINK’s Lisa) and viral unboxings. These designer blind-box toys combine whimsy, collectibility, and aesthetic appeal, making them a global craze.
How It Started: From Hong Kong to Worldwide Fame In 2019, Pop Mart launched its first Labubu blind-box series. The trend skyrocketed as influencers and celebrities began showcasing their collections. Inspired by Kasing Lung's storybook art style, Labubu's playful-yet-creepy charm quickly turned it into a collector’s dream.
