A colour photograph of a warm white and ecru Labubus from the Tasty Macarons series, sold on the EBay store run by Rukshanhussai0, with a dollhouse table between them, upon which is set a dessert of some sort (cake?). The left Labubu is holding a dollhouse spoon. Labubus are blind box toys sold in different series runs, and they’re highly collectible at the moment. Seriously, they just look like angry rabbit-eared Monchichis to me.

A colour photograph of three pastel Monchichi dolls sold by the Amiko:Kawaii Goods store. Monchichis were little round-faced monkey/chipmunk-like dolls that were highly collectible in the 1980s. The Monchichi colours, L to R: Pastel yellow, pastel pink, pastel purple, with matching baby bibs. This model had a thumb you could stick in their mouth. They have plastic faces, hands, and feet, just like Labubus, but I don’t think there was a Xtian panic about them being evil/demonic/named similarly to a minor Babylonian deity.

…is it just me, or are Labubus just angry Monchichis?
