The Labubu doll craze has taken the world by storm, reaching new heights with a recent auction of a human-sized figure that fetched over 1 million yuan.

Influencers say the craze is largely due to Pop Mart's unique distribution method. Each Labubu figure comes in a 'blind box,' so buyers don't know which colour or design they'll receive. This mystery adds excitement to the unboxing experience and often encourages customers to keep buying until they find the one they want.
