Life-Size Labubu Sells for $170,000 in ‘Enthusiastic Pursuit of Trendy Art’

The Labubu craze has hit a new plateau.

A life-size version of the scary-toothed toy sold for about $170,000 at an auction in China this week, NBC News reports, highlighting just how much the popularity of the Gremlin-esque creature has exploded in recent months.

The event, organized by Yongle Auction, took place in Beijing on Tuesday, with hundreds of people crowding into a room for a chance to buy a four-foot-tall mint-green doll.

“The atmosphere was warm, and nearly a thousand collectors participated in the bidding online and offline,” the auction house said in a statement. “In the end, the auction was successfully concluded with a 100% transaction rate, a total transaction volume of 3.7254 million yuan, and won the ‘white glove’ honor, which also demonstrated the market’s recognition and enthusiastic pursuit of trendy art.”
