Examples

“Instead of buying an authentic Labubu from Chinese toy maker Pop Mart, I caved and bought a Lafufu. The sad, budget fuzzy doll stands in for the real deal — a toy that has taken the world by storm and made millions for its Chinese owner.”

““I was actually really excited to see what it would look like, because I'd seen TikToks of people unboxing the scariest looking Lafufus,” Ms. Bystritsky said. “And when I unboxed that Lafufu it was just so funny looking that I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’””

“The profitability of the toothy elflike creature and Pop Mart's "blind box" business model has given rise to a host of would-be competitors, such as Wakuku — launched by Chinese retailer Miniso — and Lafufus, as the fake Labubus flooding the market are called.”
