What the heck are Labubus? -------------------------- Labubus are the plushie craze that’s taken over social media – and the world. While not necessarily new, fan engagement took off after pop star Rihanna and BLACKPINK singer Lisa were spotted wearing the dolls as accessories. Those flames were fueled by TikTok’s sudden obsession with blind box openings and reactions. Limited drops, surprises, and ultra-rare designs also have fans going into a frenzy. While they originally retail for only $22-28 at Pop Mart, labubus have become increasingly hard to snatch up, and some versions can only be scored through raffles or flash sales, while others pop up in resale markets at jaw-dropping prices.
