If you're searching for a "la boo boo doll," you probably mean Labubu, the fuzzy collectible with pointed ears and a toothy grin. The name is one word: Labubu. Try that spelling instead of "labooboo" or "laboo boo" when searching POP MART's site.
What is a Labubu doll?
Kasing Lung created Labubu as part of The Monsters. According to POP MART's introduction, the characters first appeared in three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology in 2015.
Labubu comes as a hard figure or a plush with a vinyl face, like the dolls below.
The Monsters includes other characters too. The Labubu character guide covers the background and different types of dolls.
Which "la boo boo" version are you looking for?
Before buying, check whether you want:
- A plush pendant or keychain with a hanging attachment.
- A seated plush, such as Have a Seat Labubu.
- A hard figure for a shelf.
- A larger plush doll.
- A specific design instead of a mystery blind box.
Sizes vary by series. Have a Seat is about 15 cm tall, while Exciting Macaron is about 17 cm. Check the measurements before ordering, especially if you want a small bag charm.
The Labubu keychain guide compares bag charm sizes. Outfits need to fit the exact doll, so check the clothes fitting guide before buying them.
What does blind box mean?
A sealed blind box contains a mystery design from that series. If you want one particular color or character, look for an opened doll sold by name.
A whole set does not automatically include the secret. POP MART's Exciting Macaron listing describes six non-repeating boxes, while the series has six regular designs and one secret. The beginner guide explains that distinction.
Is "Lafufu" the same name?
Lafufu is a nickname for a fake or lookalike Labubu. It is not another spelling of the official name.
Check the seller, compare the doll with the official listing and follow POP MART's authenticity-check instructions. The Lafufu article shows fake examples.
You can search for Labubu plush pendants on Amazon. Check the series and size, and whether the listing is for a sealed box or an opened doll.
Before buying one for a child
Read the age label. POP MART lists Have a Seat and Exciting Macaron as unsuitable for anyone under 15. A soft body does not make them toys for young children.
