What is the Labubu doll? This weird, wild misfit is breaking the internet and taking the spotlight.

The monster-like doll was created by Hong Kong-born, Netherlands-raised illustrator Kasing Lung, who drew inspiration from folklore to create a Nordic fairy tale picture book series, called The Monsters. Among the many monsters that inhabit Lung's fictional world, Labubu is the star. With a devilish smile, the Labubus, who are all female, play harmless pranks. Even though she creates chaos, Labubu is kind-hearted and has good intentions.
