Over 11,000 counterfeit Labubus -- the dolls that have recently exploded in global popularity -- were seized at Seattle's airport, with officials estimating their worth to be over half a million dollars, according to a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson.
"Fake Labubus are not welcome in America. Thanks for the good catch Seattle!" CBP said on X on Friday.
