Dupes of the internet-viral Labubu dolls are being sold around the world. Chinese authorities are now seizing them by the thousands in a counterfeit crackdown.

Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry hilariously was gifted a "Labubu" while in China for his Curry camp on Sunday.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is issuing a safety warning for collectors of the viral Labubu dolls. The CPSC announced that fake Labubu dolls are being sold as plush figures and keychains, which are small enough to fit into a child’s mouth and block their airways.

Labubus dolls are only available through online purchases and in-store pickups, if you can find one in stock. Adding to the scarcity factor is the blind-box packaging.

The creepy-cute doll is the hottest collectible—and fashion statement. The post ‘Labubu Gang’: The Creepy-Cute Dolls Sweeping Pro Sports appeared first on Front Office Sports.

First created in 2015 by the Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubus are fuzzy elf toys from the Chinese brand Pop Mart with keychain rings attached. After K-pop superstar Lisa started wearing them on her designer handbags in 2024, the toys became baubles displayed like precious gems on purses and backpacks worldwide.

“The people of Babylonia and Assyria put his frightfulness to good use — especially against a demoness called Lamashtu, a terrifying ‘anti-mother’ with a lion’s head and sagging breasts who was believed to kill pregnant women and young mothers and snatch away their children,” Frahm said.

China's Labubu doll has reached a level where it is being worshipped now. The viral video, which is making rounds on the Internet, showed an Indian woman mistaking the doll as a Chinese god and worshipping it in front of a mandir in her house.
