The Rise of Labubu Dolls: A New Collectible Craze

In the vibrant world of collectibles, Labubu dolls are capturing hearts and creating fervor among fans.


The Labubu dolls, created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and distributed by Pop Mart, are quickly becoming a sensation in the toy market, leading to long lines and high demand.

In front of the Pop Mart store in Los Angeles, hundreds of fans formed an early morning line stretching far beyond what anyone expected. Korin Reese was taken aback by the crowd at just 4:45 a.m., realizing that some of these die-hard enthusiasts had arrived as early as 10 p.m. the previous night. Each individual was motivated by the desire to secure the latest release of the Labubu dolls—a new addition to the ever-popular group known as "The Monsters," exclusively sold by the Chinese collectible retail giant, Pop Mart.

These whimsical dolls are characterized by their fuzzy Nordic elf aesthetics, sporting mischievous grins and peculiar snaggletooth smiles. Although the dolls are female and inherently kind, they are known for getting involved in lighthearted mischief while spreading joy. Emily Brough, head of licensing at Pop Mart North America, describes the essence of the Labubus as “well-intentioned” trouble without any malice.

The origins of Labubu can be traced back to a children's book series conceived by Kasing Lung in 2015. These beloved characters became a part of collectible toy culture when Lung partnered with Pop Mart in 2019, leading to the launch of the first series called the Exciting Macaron in October 2023. Since that time, each release has sold out rapidly, often in mere minutes.

Apart from their monetary value, which ranges from approximately $30 for a standard doll to higher prices for limited editions, Labubu dolls are cultivating a sense of community among collectors. Enthusiasts gather both online and offline to share strategies for acquiring the dolls, showcase their collections, and even incorporate the toys as unique fashion statements alongside luxury brands.

In summary, the Labubu doll phenomenon reflects a blend of art, culture, and vibrant community interaction, marking a significant chapter in the evolving landscape of collectible toys influenced heavily by social media engagement and consumer enthusiasm.
