Pop Mart The Monsters Labubu Let's Checkmate Vinyl Plush Hanging Doll at forward2me Warehouse
Labubu dolls are plushy monsters created by Hong Kong-born, Netherlands-raised artist Kasing Lung. Originally part of a storybook series called The Monsters, Labubu stood out with her mischievous smile, towering bunny ears, and wide, twinkling eyes.
While the character started as an illustration, Lung brought her (yes, Labubu is a girl) to life in 2015 as part of a collaboration with Chinese toymaker Pop Mart. In 2019, Pop Mart secured the exclusive rights to the designs, launching Labubu into the collectible toy stratosphere.
Labubus sit at the intersection of cute and creepy – equal parts endearing and edgy. Inspired by folklore and fairytales, they come in endless iterations: Halloween editions, Coca-Cola collaborations, and pastel-colored dream versions like Mokoko, a pink Labubu with curly lashes and a heart-shaped nose.
They may look like monsters, but they stand for individuality, fun, and emotional expression – a perfect antidote to the era of minimalist fashion.
From Collector’s Item to Fashion’s Favorite Charm
Labubu’s transformation from niche collectible to must-have accessory is thanks in part to the “kidult” trend, where adults rediscover the joy of childhood through toys, games, and nostalgic aesthetics. The quiet luxury trend dominated runways for years, but Gen Z and younger millennials are now craving color, personality, and play. Enter Labubu: strange, sweet, and totally Instagrammable.

It didn’t take long for influencers and collectors to share unboxing videos on TikTok, especially thanks to Labubu’s “blind box” format. The excitement of not knowing which version you’ll get feeds the collector’s itch. Then came the celebrity endorsements. When Lisa of BLACKPINK called Labubu “my baby” and Rihanna clipped one onto her purse, Labubu fever exploded. Searches for “bag charms” spiked by over 350% in late 2024, and fashion houses like Valentino even gifted Labubus to customers at pop-ups.
