Labubu Dolls: Cute Collectibles or Demonic Darlings from the Depths?

 

👿 Labubu Dolls: Cute Collectibles or Demonic Darlings from the Depths?

By Khanyisa Manganyi

I don’t own a Labubu doll. I’m not planning to. Not tomorrow, not next year—not ever. PERIOD. But after falling down a digital rabbit hole (you know how it starts—one search turns into three hours, cold tea, and tabs you can’t explain), I emerged with wide eyes and one conclusion: Labubu dolls are lowkey demonic.

I mean, what is going on here?

For those who have been lucky enough not to cross paths with this thing—Labubu is a strange little creature cooked up by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. With the help of POP MART, Labubu was launched into the world as a designer toy. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. This creature looks like it crawled out of a Tim Burton film during a caffeine overdose. Think: ghoulish smile, eyes that follow you across the room, and a face that says “I definitely know what you dreamt about last night.”

Labubu comes from a fantasy world called "The Monsters." Cute. Except, people who’ve brought this doll into their homes are saying things that would make horror movie writers take notes.

Let’s talk TikTok—the frontline of unfiltered human reaction. Some folks post adorable unboxing videos, holding their new Labubu like it’s a precious woodland creature. And then there are the other ones. You know, the ones that say, “My Labubu moved on its own” or “Ever since I got this doll, my cat won’t enter the room and my lights flicker at 3 AM.” 😳

Others are straight-up comparing Labubu to Annabelle—yes, the Annabelle, the haunted doll that lives in a glass case blessed by a priest in The Conjuring universe. Some claim the same eerie vibes, unshakable fear, and a creepy sense of being watched. One TikTok user even joked, “Annabelle and Labubu should link up and open a haunted daycare.”

And then there’s Pazuzu, the ancient demon from The Exorcist—you know, the one responsible for spinning heads and projectile soup-vomit. People swear Labubu carries the same chaos energy. Granted, Labubu hasn't made anyone float (yet), but the vibe is giving spiritual interference, static on your dreams, and a whiff of brimstone.

Now look—officially, Labubu isn’t haunted. It’s a collectible. A toy. A harmless little thing from a make-believe world. That’s what the marketing says. But if something looks like it eats souls for breakfast and people are waking up with nosebleeds and nightmares after putting it on a shelf—I’m going to trust my instincts and NOT invite that energy into this house. Some people collect stamps. Others collect stress.

To be fair, many Labubu fans love the little guy. They see mischief, personality, and artistry. And that’s cool. But personally? If I want mischief and mystery in my life, I’ll watch Scooby-Doo reruns. Not tuck in a demonic-looking goblin with fangs and empty eyes at bedtime.

So the question is: Is Labubu just a misunderstood monster—or is it lowkey evil in a tiny hoodie? 😬

What do you think, brave reader? Would you let Labubu sleep on your shelf?

Or don’t.
Labubu might already know what you think.

How to Take Off from Grass to Grace There’s a special kind of magic in a “grass to grace” story. It’s the kind of tale that makes your heart swell with hope, your sides ache from laughter, and your mind race with the possibility of your own success. We all love a good underdog story—whether it’s the billionaire who once lived in a shack, the footballer who sold sachet water as a kid, or the local celebrity who once worked as a mascot at a fast-food joint. But what really makes a “grass to grace” journey? Is it luck? Hard work? A fairy godmother? Or just a series of unfortunate events that miraculously turn fortunate? Let’s find out.

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It On a clear night, when the world quiets down and the stars begin to appear one by one, a sparkling gem lights up the sky brighter than all the others — Sirius, the "Dog Star." But blink (or stay glued to your phone) and you might just miss one of the most spectacular sights heaven has to offer. A Star Worth Watching Sirius isn’t just another twinkle overhead. It’s the brightest star in our night sky, shining with an intensity that has captured the awe of stargazers for thousands of years. Located in the constellation Canis Major — which charmingly translates to "Greater Dog" — Sirius lives up to its reputation as the alpha dog of the night. This brilliant star is about 8.6 light-years away from Earth, making it one of our closest stellar neighbors. In astronomical terms, that’s practically next door (if you consider "next door" being about 50 trillion miles away). How to...
