The video, posted by @simplybuu on TikTok, shows the “new” plush toys featuring Halloween icons like Chucky, Jason Voorhees and Jack Skellington allegedly offered at the stores. However, in the comments and link in bio, it is revealed that the creator is the one who offers the customized items.

Spirit Halloween does not have any Labubu collectibles listed on their website, as of Aug. 20.
