What Are Labubu Dolls?

For those like Rohit who are unaware of the dolls, Labubu dolls are not just toys even though they look like plushies. They are basically collectable items that can acquire cult status. 

They were first created in the year 2015 Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung as part of The Monsters universe, and are largely inspired by European folklore and fairy tales. 

Despite being around for more than a decade now they have only recently started capturing the imagination of people all around the world and have seen a surge in prices as a result. 

A recent life-sized Labubu doll fetched over USD 150,000 in an auction and the craze around the dolls will undoubtedly mean that price is topped sooner rather than later.
