If you’ve seen a weird little goblin on someone’s desk or keychain lately, chances are it’s either Labubu or Lafufu — two collectible characters from Pop Mart’s massive designer toy universe.
But what’s the difference? Are they related? Are people just spelling it wrong?
Let’s clear it up.
Who Is Labubu?
Labubu is the chaotic gremlin prince of Pop Mart’s The Monsters collection. Known for his snaggletooth, creepy-cute grin, and slightly unhinged vibe, Labubu has become a cult favorite among alt toy collectors.
- First released: 2016
- Vibe: Mischievous goblin-child
- Popular drops: Forest Labubu, Have a Seat Labubu, Coca-Cola collab, Macaron Labubu

So... Who (or What) Is Lafufu?
Lafufu is not a typo — it’s a completely separate character, usually associated with softer, more animal-like features. Think of Lafufu as the quieter, fluffier cousin of Labubu.
- Looks more like a shy bunny or deer
- Pastel colorways, sleepy expressions
- Often found in dreamy or forest-themed drops
Lafufu’s aesthetic is more cottagecore than chaos. Still collectible, still cute — but totally different energy.
