What is Labubu? A Guide to the Hottest Collectible Toy Trend of 2026

What Exactly is Labubu?

If you've scrolled TikTok or Instagram lately, you've probably seen Labubu—those adorable yet mischievous little monster figures with pointy ears, wide grins, and big curious eyes taking over feeds worldwide. Created by Malaysian artist Kasing Lung and produced by Chinese toy giant Pop Mart, Labubu belongs to the The Monsters series and has become a global collectible phenomenon among Gen Z and millennials.

These palm-sized characters come in blind boxes (mystery packaging), meaning you don't know which design you'll get until you open it—creating excitement, surprise, and serious collector frenzy. Rare variants can sell for 10x–50x their original price on resale markets!

Is Labubu Trending in Pakistan?

Yes—but with caveats. Pakistani teens and young adults are discovering Labubu through TikTok (#labubu has 500M+ global views) and Instagram Reels. Search interest for "Labubu Pakistan" has grown 200%+ in the past 12 months according to Google Trends.
