THEY’RE the must-have accessory of the summer – but people have been left horrified after seeing what is behind the viral Labubu dolls.
The furry dolls – made popular by Chinese toy company Pop Mart – have caused shoppers to go into a frenzy in recent months.
With their bunny ears and creepy smiles, Labubu dolls have surged in popularity since being spotted on the bags of celebrities including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Olivia Attwood and Gemma Collins – and even David Beckham.
But now people are realising what the dolls look like without their fluffy exteriors.
One social media user has gone viral after sharing a photo of their toy without its iconic hooded outfit and soft clothes.
The bald-looking doll looked rather less endearing, with its large, toothy smile and claw-like feet.
The X user showed how the doll is wearing underwear with a bow under its recognisable fluffy onesie.
One person wrote: “THIS S*** LOOKS HORRENDOUS WHAT THE F***.”
Another added: “THIS IS TERRIFYING.”
A third commented: “Now why would you undress the Labubu? [It’s] looking like when a man shaves off his beard and has no chin.”
Many people said the worst part of the exposed doll was the three-toed, alligator-like feet.
Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the vinyl figures are sold in £17.50 “blind boxes” — so fans do not know which version they are getting.
Labubus come in an array of vibrant colours, unique shapes and various sizes, spanning from plush toys to striking vinyl figures – and rare models are re-selling online for up to £1,000.
