For several months now, images and videos of unusual Chinese dolls have been circulating on social media. These dolls feature details that ingeniously combine tenderness and terror.

However, the Labubu are collectible figures designed by the artist Kasing Lung , who was inspired by Norse mythology and took some elements from the television series 'The Monsters' to create this new trend.

While people's fascination with this doll seems recent, it has truly gained popularity over the years, with its first appearance in 2015 in the Hong Kong region.

Since then, these figures have gained great relevance in Asian countries, as many users believe that they have their own personality, which is complemented by their sharp teeth, large eyes, pointy ears, and hairy body.

Over time, this trend reached other parts of the world thanks to the globalization of the internet, where many celebrities began incorporating dolls into their styles and clothing.

Although they may look like children's toys, the unusual charm of Labubu has managed to captivate the attention of young people and adults who are dedicated to collecting unusual objects , turning them into a phenomenon on digital platforms.
