Labubu may be a fictional character from Pop Mart’s universe, but fans have brought it to life in the most creative and eye-catching ways. From stunning fan art to full-on cosplay transformations, Labubu has officially jumped out of the toy box and into the real world.
Let’s explore how artists and fans are reimagining Labubu—and why this chaotic little creature has become such an inspiration for real-life creativity.
🎨 Fan Art: Turning Mischief into Masterpieces

- DeviantArt
- Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book)
Some popular styles include:
- Soft pastel versions with dreamy backgrounds
- Dark horror-inspired renditions of Labubu
- Cute, comic-style animations featuring Labubu in funny scenarios
- Mashups where Labubu meets other characters like Molly, Hello Kitty, or anime icons
Labubu’s fan art culture continues to grow, and many collectors even frame and display these pieces alongside their figures.
🧑🎤 Cosplaying Labubu: Wild, Bold, and Fun
Yes, people actually cosplay as Labubu! And while it might sound difficult (Labubu has sharp teeth, after all), creative fans have pulled it off with:
- Full-body costumes (furry suits, horns, oversized heads)
- Face paint & makeup recreating Labubu’s signature eyes and toothy grin
- Custom-designed Labubu hoodies and pajamas
- Hybrid styles blending Labubu with fashion trends like Harajuku or K-pop
At anime and toy conventions in China, Thailand, and Japan, Labubu cosplayers have become show-stoppers, often surrounded by fans wanting selfies.
📸 Social Media & Viral Moments
Some Labubu-inspired creators have even gone viral for:
- Dancing in full Labubu costumes on TikTok
- Creating stop-motion videos with Labubu toys and fan-made props

This combination of art, fashion, and tech has made Labubu not just a toy—but a digital and cultural movement.
