If you've seen those mischievous, "spooky-cute" little monsters with the big, serrated-tooth grins everywhere, you've officially met Labubu. But what exactly is a Labubu, and why has this art toy taken the world by storm?
As official collectors, we're here to give you the full story.
What is a Labubu?
Labubu is the main character in "The Monsters" universe, a whimsical world created by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung nspired by Nordic mythology and folklore from his childhood in the Netherlands, Kasing's world is filled with magical elves and creatures.
Labubu is a mischievous-looking little elf with high, pointed ears and that iconic nine-tooth grin. But despite the "charming and creepy" look , Labubu is actually kind-hearted and always trying to help. It's this "imperfect, expressive" quality that collectors have fallen in love with.
Why Are They Sold in "Blind Boxes"?
Labubu is most famously produced in partnership with Pop Mart. The most popular format is the "blind box".
A blind box is a sealed package that contains one random figure from a series. The thrill is in the mystery. You won't know which figure you've got until you open it! This "gamifies" the collecting experience and fuels the hunt for rare "secret" or "chase" figures
