A life-sized mint green Labubu figurine recently sold for over $150,000 at a Beijing auction, reflecting the rising popularity of Pop Mart’s collectible toys. Labubu, originally from The Monsters picture book series by China Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, has become a cultural sensation in China and beyond.
Now a beloved plush collectible, Labubu is part of a broader trend of high-demand designer toys. While its popularity is soaring, some question whether it’s a lasting icon or just another fleeting collector’s fad.
