What started as a viral curiosity has officially become Abu Dhabi’s latest collectible craze. The bug-eyed Labubu toy, known for its creepy-cute smile and cult following, has landed in the capital—and this time, you can get it delivered to your doorstep like a burger.
Labubu toy delivery arrives in Abu Dhabi via Deliveroo, fueled by UAE’s growing obsession and social media buzz.
And yes—this trend comes with teeth.
Hyped toy for a reason
Labubu is the mischievously adorable creation of Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born artist raised in the Netherlands. The toy belongs to The Monsters, a collection of creatures inspired by twisted fairy tales and Nordic folklore.
With its wild hair, oversized eyes, and disturbingly endearing grin, Labubu is designed to blur the line between cute and creepy—and that’s exactly why fans love it.
From Asia to the UAE, the toy has found a global audience. It has especially taken off among collectors, influencers, and pop culture lovers across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Whether clipped to a handbag or peeking out of a café table, Labubu is quickly becoming a local icon.
How to Get Your Labubu Delivered in Abu Dhabi
Until now, scoring a Labubu toy often meant pre-order stress, resale markups, or knowing someone overseas. But thanks to Deliveroo’s limited-time partnership, the collectible is now easily accessible in Abu Dhabi.
Here’s how to get one:
- Open your Deliveroo app
- Search for “Labubu” in participating Abu Dhabi zones
- Order from daily blind box drops released at 4 PM sharp
- Pay AED 280 and wait for your monster to arrive
There’s no minimum food order required, though you can still grab a meal if guilt eats away faster than the fries.
Deliveroo is also offering a special bundle with Beau Burger: order the Petit Meal for AED 290, and you’ll receive a Labubu toy included with your meal. Think of it as a Happy Meal with a dark side.
The Rise of Labubu in UAE Pop Culture
Labubu’s rise to fame isn’t just an international phenomenon—it’s taking firm root in the UAE. Over the past few months, the toy has become a staple on local Instagram stories and TikTok reels. Whether showcased in unboxing videos or featured in aesthetic flat-lays at cafés, Labubu’s presence is unmistakable.
Collectors across the UAE have even started hosting small swap events, hunting for rare variants from the blind box series. The appeal lies not just in the toy’s oddball charm but in the surprise factor—you never know which Labubu character you’ll get.
In true pop culture fashion, the Labubu mania has even extended to other products. In Dubai, bakeries have released limited-edition Labubu-themed cakes, sending dessert fans and collectors into a frenzy.
The excitement people have for this toy is unparalleled
Beyond its collectible appeal, Labubu taps into something deeper. It’s playful, unpredictable, and slightly absurd—a combination that resonates in a world filled with curated perfection. For fans, owning a Labubu isn’t just about adding to a shelf; it’s a symbol of embracing quirks and standing out from the crowd.
The blind box format also adds an element of excitement. Each Labubu delivery brings a fresh surprise, creating a sense of anticipation reminiscent of childhood toy unboxings. It’s nostalgia, chaos, and dopamine all wrapped into one bug-eyed figure.
And in a city like Abu Dhabi—where luxury and lifestyle blend seamlessly—Labubu offers a refreshing pop of unconventional charm.
Limited Time, Unlimited Hype
Deliveroo’s Labubu offering won’t last forever, so grab it while you can! With only a limited number of blind boxes available daily and a sharp 4 PM release window, supplies are likely to run out fast.
The launch echoes the previous rollout in Dubai, which saw high demand and near-instant sellouts for many drops. Now, Abu Dhabi fans have their turn to get in on the action without waiting for overseas shipping or paying inflated resale prices.
Given the overwhelming reception in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, it’s likely that Labubu will remain a staple in UAE pop culture for the foreseeable future. From themed collaborations with food outlets to possible merchandise tie-ins, the tiny monster’s reach is only growing.
As the toy’s popularity continues to skyrocket, collectors and casual fans alike are encouraged to act quickly. Whether you’re buying it for the aesthetics, the hype, or just to have a little chaos gremlin on your desk—Labubu’s moment in Abu Dhabi is now.
Want One? Don’t Wait
Labubu is weird, lovable, and 100% viral. And now, it’s right at your fingertips—no queues, no pre-orders, no international shipping hassles.
