Lafufu dolls gain fans as Labubu alternatives

nytimes.com [$]

Knockoff versions of the popular Labubu dolls, called Lafufus, are gaining popularity due to their easier availability compared to the original, often scarce, toys. These counterfeit dolls, sold at lower prices, are readily available both online and in person, contrasting with the limited-edition, blind-box nature of authentic Labubus from Pop Mart. The original dolls are highly sought after, with some reselling for much more than their retail price. The Labubu dolls, known as "the Monsters," have become a fashion accessory, and a life-size version recently sold for a high price. This popularity has led to issues at Pop Mart stores, but Lafufus offer an alternative.
