Labubu, originally a character from Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung’s 2015 book series The Monsters, became a global collectible phenomenon after its toy debut in 2019 via Pop Mart. Known for its mischievous expression and sold in “blind boxes,” Labubu toys have become highly sought-after, with rare editions fetching prices upwards of Rs 55,000 on resale platforms. A human-sized Labubu sculpture recently sold for Rs 1.2 crore in Beijing.

Celebrity endorsements from Blackpink’s Lisa, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian have further fuelled the craze, with over 300 variants now in circulation.
