Lauren revealed that she had been unable to find the dolls anywhere online, including Pop Mart.
But she was able to find the Labubu doll at Ross for just $4.99.
Labubu has taken over the world with it’s range of dolls, a Chinese the brand originally sold at Pop Mart.
As a word, Labubu has no meaning, it simply refers to a range of vinyl plush toys known for their mischievous grins and big eyes.
The toys went viral during COVID times, and eventually made their way over to the US.
It wasn’t until April 2024 that the popularity of the Labubu soared, when Thai-born K-pop superstar Lisa began posting photos on Instagram with various Labubu dolls.
Then, other celebrities were spotted with them, from Rihanna to Kim Kardashian.

And another asked: “Where are you so I can know what Ross are you at.”
In fact, Lauren’s video has been branded as fake by several naysayers, claiming that she didn’t actually find a Labubu at Ross.
Lots of comments demand to see the receipt for the Labubu, and even Ross employees joined in on the band wagon.
A sceptic wrote: “You did not get the labubu at Ross if you did, it should have been all over the Ross stores all over America.”
And this was echoed in another pessimistic jibe: “Stop it because people are doing the same claiming they found labubus at TJmaxx, mind you I work there we don’t carry them don’t harass on the phone asking if we have any in stock.”
One Ross worker claimed: “Nope, I work at Ross Texas, we dont manage Labubus…yet…”
