The character Labubu is a Nordic forest elf and a member of “The Monsters,” a whimsical group of creatures created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. The Labubu series features an extended “family” of characters, including the grand leader Zimomo and fellow members like Mokoko, Tycoco, Yaya, Spooky, and Pato.
Labubu dolls have taken the world by storm in recent months, sparking shopping frenzies both online and in stores and becoming a viral fashion statement.
Beyond the wildly popular blind box collectibles, Pop Mart has taken the brand even further. The Pop Mart City Park in Beijing, which opened in 2023, has become a hotspot for Labubu fans. The company has registered multiple Labubu-related trademarks under international classifications including education and entertainment, lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and fitness equipment.
