Labubu is a well-known character created by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung (founder of the art toy brand POP MART). The character is defined by its distinctive traits: a round, fluffy body, pointed ears, large expressive eyes, and a playful, slightly mischievous demeanor—originally inspired by “forest elves” and later expanded into various themed iterations

The material—fiberglass (FRP)—is a composite made of glass fiber and resin. For Labubu fiberglass sculptures, use a “hand lay-up” or “mold casting” process: a precision mold is coated with resin, then layered with glass fiber mats to reinforce structural strength. After curing (hardening), the sculpture is demolded, sanded, and painted to match Labubu’s signature color scheme, often soft pastels, bold primaries, or theme-specific palettes like metallic silver for space-themed designs.

The character’s captivatingly feral and mischievous demeanor strikes a chord with today’s art toy fans. The character’s “cute yet cool” looks fits nicely into the global “kawaii culture” that resonates with everyone from teens and young adults (18-35 years old)—the central cohort of art for decoration. And Labubu’s design details can be perfectly replicated in fiberglass, and fiberglass Labubu statues can do a myriad of things or keep on adapting—that’s a potential opportunity look.
