Labubu is the mischievous plush character from Kasing Lung's The Monsters series, sold by Pop Mart as collectible blind box toys that went massively viral in 2024 and 2025. Russian speaking users turned the name into lyabuba, a deliberately wrong and cute pronunciation repeated in short videos. The phrase about wanting one without buying it spread as a relatable joke about hype, sold out drops and high resale prices, and it remains a shorthand for craving trendy collectibles.
About this sound
A funny Russian voice clip saying I want a Labubu but do not want to buy one, used in memes about collectible cravings, shopping jokes and impulse buys.
This clip features a playful Russian voice repeating a craving for a Labubu toy while admitting they do not want to pay for it. The delivery is whiny and exaggerated, stretching the made up word lyabuba for comic effect. It captures the exact push and pull of seeing a trendy collectible everywhere and wanting it instantly. Listeners instantly recognise the spoiled, joking tone, which makes the moment feel both relatable and silly rather than a serious complaint about shopping or collecting.
