There’s a lot of talk in the world of collectible toys about the possibility of a partnership between Kasing Lung, the creator of Labubu dolls, and basketball legend Kobe Bryant. With the growing fame of Labubu dolls and the lasting impact of Kobe Bryant, it seems like this collaboration could become a reality soon, according to rumors and leaked images.

The excitement about Labubu, a character from Pop Mart’s “The Monsters” collection, has soared, notably in Asia and worldwide, largely due to high-profile endorsements such as BLACKPINK’s Lisa. These dolls are recognized for their unique design: furry elf figures featuring rabbit-like ears and a playful, serrated-toothed expression, typically encased in mystery boxes called blind boxes.

Word about a possible partnership between Kobe and another brand started gaining momentum when Vanessa Bryant posted a picture on Instagram of a pink Labubu doll dressed in a black hoodie displaying Kobe’s famous sheath emblem.
