Celebrities including Rihanna and Blackpink’s Lisa have been spotted with Labubu dolls, the latest craze to hit the U.S. Here is everything you need to know about the plush toys.
Q: What is a Labubu?
A: A Labubu is designer Kasing Lung’s best attempt at what a British person looks like.
Q: Why do they come in blind boxes?
A: To guarantee that you buy your kid the wrong one.
Q: Is Labubu part of a larger universe or a story?
A: It’s slide 52 of the 600-page “Pop Mart Shareholder Q3 Report.”
Q: Why are they wearing those weird little outfits?
A: Why are you wearing yours?
Q: Where can I get a Labubu?
A: Pop Mart, or the backpack of any teen girl small enough to knock down.
Q: Why is my kid obsessed with these?
A: Because acting out clearly didn’t get your attention. Your own child is like a stranger to you. Also, they come in different colors.
Q: How much do they cost?
A: Thirty dollars and what remains of American cultural hegemony.
Jesus Christ is King
