Which Labubu Are You Quiz
If you've noticed people carrying around a little doll or keychain resembling a creature that looks part elf and part gremlin, then you've seen a Labubu in the wild. Labubus, which came from a Nordic-inspired picture book written by Kasing Lung, originated from Hong Kong and has been released as collectible plushies by Pop Mart since 2019. Labubus went viral not only due to celebrity influence and how cute they are, but also because of the mystery that comes with purchasing them. Labubus are collectibles, but they're primarily sold through blind boxes, meaning you don't know what color or rarity you're going to get until you open it. Because of that, Labubus are in high demand, making them difficult to get your hands on. (I got mine out of a Pop Mart vending machine!) But, even if you can't get your hands on a Labubu (or you just don't want one), luckily for you, you can find out which Labubu you are for free! Let's start!
