In a time when quirky collectibles like the Labubu doll are sweeping through the digital world and dominating Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s wish lists, Pakistani actress and host Mishi Khan has stepped into the conversation and she isn’t holding back.
The Labubu doll, a strange-looking toy with spiky teeth, odd proportions, and an undeniably mischievous expression, has become the latest craze among social media users and influencers. Originally created by Pop Mart, the toy was once a luxury collectible with prices reaching PKR 7,000 to 35,000, depending on rarity and edition. But the wave of popularity has now led to a flood of counterfeit Labubus across local markets and online platforms in Pakistan — making them even more visible, especially on bags and accessories.
But not everyone is charmed by this peculiar figure.
Mishi Khan, known for her bold and unfiltered opinions, recently posted a video warning fans against the Labubu craze. “This Labubu trend, which people consider a status symbol, is a curse,” she asserted, adding that people are blindly buying into a fad that might be masking deeper, darker energies. “Have you even looked at it closely? Horrible teeth, spooky eyes — this doll is not cute, it’s creepy,” she added with emphasis.
She went on to claim that such toys could attract negative energy or even evil spirits, urging parents and collectors alike to think twice before jumping on the bandwagon. “Even if someone gave it to me for free, I wouldn’t hang this ugly thing on my bag,” she said bluntly. “Don’t waste your money on these Dajjali-looking dolls.”
