Paul King, director of the global hit Paddington films and the Timothee Chalamet-led musical Wonka, is set to direct the Labubu film. In November it was announced that Sony Pictures, fresh off the global success of KPop Demon Hunters, had acquired the screen rights to the Chinese plush toy sensation with a feature film already in early development. King began his screen career as associate director on the British TV comedy Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, then directed all three seasons of The Mighty Boosh.
Leading the charge is the Lil Peach Riot Sleepover Series Figures, the latest chapter in POP MART 's fastest-rising U.S.-born IP. Created by Los Angeles illustrator and musician Libby Frame, Peach Riot is a fictional punk band made up of three high school friends: Gigi on vocals and guitar, Frankie behind the drums, and Poppy handling bass and keyboards. Together, they embody a blend of youthful energy, DIY spirit, and pop-punk authenticity.
In the video, the creator removes the wood backing on a 35×35-centimeter Sannahed frame from IKEA to create a deeper space that fits up to eight Labubus. This IKEA gem comes in a variety of neutral colors like white, black, tan and brown. This ensures two things: that the frames will match whatever other decor you have in your room and that your colorful Labubus will really pop.
Labubu, a furry doll made by the Chinese toymaker Pop Mart, has gone viral this year, with K-pop stars influencing its popularity in South Korea.
