That bug-eyed toy smiling from your phone screen is real, and now it’s coming to your front door. Abu Dhabi, meet your latest obsession: Labubu.

Abu Dhabi’s New Delivery Craze: Labubu Dolls Are Just A Tap Away
If you’ve managed to scroll past the chaos without asking, “What is that fuzzy thing with the crazy grin?” you deserve a slow clap. But here’s the lowdown.
Labubu is the brainchild of Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born, Netherlands-raised artist with a wild imagination and a knack for unsettling cuteness. Labubu belongs to The Monsters, a twisted Nordic fairytale-inspired world filled with quirky, grimy little creatures.
And for reasons no one fully understands, Labubu has become a pop culture icon in the UAE & beyond. It’s big in Asia. It’s huge on TikTok. It’s now crashing into your Abu Dhabi living room via Deliveroo.
How To Get One
Gone are the days of camping out for drops, battling checkout pages, or bribing someone you know in Hong Kong. Thanks to Deliveroo, you can now have a Labubu delivered directly to your door in Abu Dhabi. And no, you don’t need to order food to get it, though it might ease the guilt of spending AED280 on a glorified doll.
Here’s how it works:
- Open your Deliveroo app
- Search “Labubu” in participating Abu Dhabi zones.
- Choose from daily limited-edition blind boxes released at 4 PM sharp.
