Marina Galperina introduced a unique 'Soviet Labubu' during a Slack discussion. Labubus are collectible toys known for their bizarre designs and randomness in selection. Consumers engage in a gamified process to acquire these strange stuffed toys, resembling demented teddy bears. Galperina's version is estimated to be from 1972 and is likely a bootleg of the famous Russian character, Cheburashka. This character is depicted as a sad creature raised by a crocodile-man. Galperina also collects various vintage items from Etsy, reflecting her eclectic taste.
There are a variety of outfits, sold separately. It never ends!
Technically, it might be a Lafufu, which is what they call fake Labubus.
There's something, well, wistful about it. I would estimate that this creature was made in 1972.
It's very likely a bootleg of a very famous Russian Soviet-era cartoon character - Cheburashka.
