City Bans Labubu Toys Amid Chilling Claims of a Sinister Demon Doll Conspiracy
Rudaw.net says officials don’t approve of the toys’ blind box sales, in which customers do not know which particular doll they will be getting until after purchasing the product.

“These sales tactics misled consumers,” Hogir Ali, director of Erbil’s commercial monitoring body, told Rudaw.net, “especially when lower prices were advertised for dolls that were unavailable, pushing buyers toward more expensive options.”
The outlet says so far about 2,000 dolls have been confiscated and legal actions have been taken against six businesses.
But that’s not the only reason the dolls are banned in Erbil.
Some people think Labubus resemble the mythic evil creature, Pazuzu

Officials in Erbil have also said that the dolls do not represent the type of cultural products that most of its consumers are interested in.
“The appearance of the doll is far from our customs and traditions,” Ali told the outlet, adding that provincial authorities and civil police are fully cooperating with the ban.
Labubu’s appearance has been criticized by people around the world who say it has demonic looking features.
On TikTok comparisons to a winged-looking devil from ancient Mesopotamian mythology known as ‘Pazuzu’ are rampant.

The mythological figure is often depicted as having a lion-like face, bird talons and wings and it was even featured in the 1973 classic horror film, The Exorcist.
