Labubu Dolls?!?
Some of y’all already side-eyin’ ’em, some curious, and others talkin’ bout they wouldn’t bring one in their house if it came with gold inside.
🌚 So what is a Labubu doll?
Labubu is a character created by the Hong Kong-based designer Kasing Lung, originally part of a toy line from the art toy brand POP MART. Now at first glance, these little creatures look like mischievous forest imps , big eyes, pointy teeth, and always smirkin’ like they know something you don’t.
They started gaining popularity around 2019, especially in Asia and among collectors of designer vinyl toys. The style is kawaii, a little creepy, but also kind of cute , in that Tim Burton-meets-the-woods kind of way.
And baby, some of them go for hundreds of dollars on resale sites. Folks collect them like they sacred statues or rare gems.
👻 But now folks whisperin’…
Lately, people been sayin’ there’s something off about them. On TikTok, in Reddit threads, even spiritual folks sittin’ at their altars been raising an eyebrow. Some say the dolls are:
• Causing weird energy in the house
• Bringing nightmares or strange dreams
• Being found in places they didn’t put them
• Attracting spirits, especially trickster ones
Now listen , we not saying they cursed. We not saying they haunted. But we are saying that in Black spiritual traditions, anything with eyes and a face that you ain’t made or blessed yourself can sometimes act as a spirit vessel.
That’s why your granny used to tell you not to bring home no antique dolls or secondhand puppets unless you cleanse ’em first. 👏🏾
🪔 Should you get one?
Well baby, that’s up to you. You know on The Hidden Porch, we believe in staying spiritually clean and discerning. If you love art toys and feel good energy around them , go for it. But if you feel even a flicker of unease, trust your gut. That’s your spirit guides tapping on your shoulder.
🪑 So porch fam, what y’all think?
Have you heard of Labubu? Would you bring one in your house or no ma’am? Do you collect art toys or is this one of those “not in my home” situations?
Sound off below , y’all know I’m listenin’.

Okay, so we've talked about the spiritual side of Labubu, but let's dive a bit deeper into why these little creatures have taken over our feeds. It's not just about collecting a cute toy; it's a whole cultural moment! I've personally seen so many '0 Labubus owned' memes, and honestly, the internet's reaction to these dolls is fascinating. It's like everyone has an opinion, from adoration to outright skepticism. Remember that image of the older woman with a concerned expression, holding a Labubu doll while a black cat sniffs it? That perfectly captures the vibe! Are they mischievous, or just misunderstood? Their big eyes, pointy teeth, and signature smirk give them that 'kawaii but creepy' edge that really gets people talking. It's this unique, slightly unsettling look that makes them so meme-worthy, sparking conversations everywhere from Reddit threads to TikTok. People are constantly sharing Labubu images and videos, asking if they're 'fake' or just a passing fad, much like the old Furby debates from back in the day. But Labubu has a distinct charm that goes beyond a fleeting trend. If you're thinking of getting one, and you've decided your gut says 'go for it,' how do you ethically and spiritually approach collecting them? My personal take is: always cleanse! Just like your granny used to say about antique dolls or second-hand items, giving any new object a spiritual cleanse can help ensure it brings good energy into your home. You might ask, 'What kind of cleanse?' For me, a simple smudge with sage or palo santo, or even just setting a clear, positive intention with sunlight or a sound bath, can do wonders. It's about respecting the object and your personal space, and ensuring alignment with your own energy. It's true, some of these dolls can fetch a pretty penny on resale sites, making them feel like 'sacred statues' or 'rare gems' as mentioned. But whether you're a seasoned art toy collector or just curious about the hype, the most important thing is to listen to your intuition. Don't let FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) override your inner spiritual alarm bells. Are you getting one for the aesthetic, the collection, or because it genuinely feels right and brings you joy? That's the question I always ask myself when considering bringing new objects into my home. So, what's your take on the Labubu phenomenon? Share your thoughts below – I'm listening!
This is my personal opinion but I think it’s what you give to it and not the “ toy” itself. And yes I have both family members who would be like not in my house and ones who are like this is a a toy that I bought for my children.🙄 As for me I think do your own research if you’re interested and respect the culture and context of what it means but at the end of the day it’s a choice between what you believe in.
