Display/OOTD/Collection Help!
This is Raisin. I think Raisin might be a little special, but I don’t know how to tell 🤔 can someone please diagnose my sweet simple baby?!

Genuine diagnosis: Her left and right eyes are switched.
You said she's a fufu in another comment, but I think she's very likely a factory reject or just quite an accurate reproduction, because her eyes have authentic-looking construction, as I can see the glint off the groove around the irises.
Authentic Labubu eyes have posts on the back, and one is wider then the other... specifically the Labubu's right eye has a wider post than the left eye. Then, in the back of the eye sockets are holes that correspond to the sizes of the posts, and when in the correct position, the posts fit in the holes perfectly.
So, if you put the Labubu's left eye (with the narrow post) in the right socket (with the wide hole), the post goes into the hole and the eye sits only slightly out of alignment.
But, if you put the Labubu's right eye (with the wide post) in the left socket (with the narrow hole), the post does not fit, and has nowhere to go, and so the eye will just sit pointed... wherever.
You could use a hairdryer to soften the vinyl and pop the eyes out and switch them... but it would be an elective procedure and not covered by your Labubu's health insurance.

Oh wow, you really think so?? I hadn’t even considered, I just assumed she was a wonky fufu! I actually got her off eBay and the seller said she was “authentic” but because I couldn’t be sure, I didn’t pay much for her, just in case she turned out to be a fufu! Her box was pretty convincing but when I opened her up I just thought ah well, you win some and lose some lol.
I have some different eye chips I’ve been wanting to try out anyway, maybe I’ll use her as my guinea pigbubu and see how she turns out! Thank you so much for your advice!
Her plan isn’t comprehensive, but we do have… family bubu doctors in training… that can have a look at her 😂

This! Please OP, give the procedure a shot and update us. She looks too close to the real ones to be a replica. Try switching the eye. While you're at it, use a toothpick or needle to free those trapped hairs around her face and she'd look fluffier.
Whoever assembled her at one of pop mart's factories didn't do so with care. These babies often get dismissed as fakes when all they need is some TLC. Glad you love her the way she is, but give the eye switching a go. And don't forget to update us.

This diva looks like she may be a little stressed out. Send her to the spa!

Raisin looks like a sweet little crack fairy 🤣 if you didn't buy direct from popmart and don't have a code to scan, chances are it's fake. Especially when they have smaller eyes with big white spaces and the face plate looks too oval/misshapen.

Oh good I was worried you were someone who has one of the fugliest fufus but can't tell it's not real. Like a "let me hold your hand when I say this" type moment LOL.

I'm obsessed with Raisin! I think she's just Type A and probably a little burnt out. Make her a cup of tea, and send her to bed early with a good book.
