Have you noticed a new face around that has big ears and a wide smile? This figure, who was not there before and can now be found in almost every office and cafe of the neighborhood, is a character that has suddenly made a great presence. If you are not sure about the phenomenon and what it is regarding, then this article is your best shot! Here is the full coverage of Labubu’s world.
What Is Labubu?
To simplify, Labubu is a character introduced by the Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. Labubu is part of ‘The Monsters,’ a popular group of characters made by Kasing Lung. ‘The Monsters’ are known for their unique blend of spirited and slightly impish attributes, often depicted with visible teeth and a playful, spirited demeanor. They can also be released as “art toys” or “designer toys,” which are collectible figures produced in a limited number.
These are not only toys but also part of an art world and the urge of the collectors; they are just unique pieces that quickly become hot and can be found anywhere. Labubu is a character available in all sizes, shapes, and clothing, and is thus sold on different occasions.
The main concept for the idea of interest includes the design and surprise aspect, and they are usually sold in “blind boxes” where the customers cannot see what is on the inside. All these regulate the fun and the cool look, and collecting them has become a game of chance.
The First Impact of Labubu in Pakistan and Subsequent Growth
Since Labubu has seated itself comfortably in various parts of Pakistan and become a household name, many would be thinking that its growth has been rapid, while the public’s knowledge has slowly spread like wildfire. Contrary to this thought, Labubu’s recognition in the country was not well known at first, and the toys were commonly sourced from overseas by hardcore fans. But the influx of fresh pop culture items in Pakistan through the sharing of social media networks and the demand for these items among the masses has turned these toys into the talk of the town in very little time.
The local market has become a platform where designers showcase their designs in search of the latest trends, and the explosion of e-commerce has also worked positively. The arrival of sellers having a strong local knowledge of what is needed in the market probably adds to the increased presence of the Labubu brand in the entire country.
