With their bunny ears and creepy smiles, Labubu dolls have surged in popularity since being spotted on the bags of celebrities including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Olivia Attwood and Gemma Collins - and even David Beckham.
But now people are realising what the dolls look like without their fluffy exteriors.
One social media user has gone viral after sharing a photo of their toy without its iconic hooded outfit and soft clothes.
The bald-looking doll looked rather less endearing, with its large, toothy smile and claw-like feet.

BAG IT I wasn't going to pay for a Labubu so nabbed a budget B&M alternative instead
The X user showed how the doll is wearing underwear with a bow under its recognisable fluffy onesie.
One person wrote: 'THIS S*** LOOKS HORRENDOUS WHAT THE F***.'
Another added: 'THIS IS TERRIFYING.'
A third commented: 'Now why would you undress the Labubu? [It's] looking like when a man shaves off his beard and has no chin.'
Many people said the worst part of the exposed doll was the three-toed, alligator-like feet.
Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the vinyl figures are sold in £17.50 'blind boxes' — so fans do not know which version they are getting.

Love Island: All Stars couple Sammy Root and Elma Pazar have split, MailOnline can reveal. The TOWIE pair, who reached the ITV2 final in February, recently called it quits, leaving just one romance formed on the latest All Stars still going strong. MailOnline understands that Sammy and Elma ended their four-month relationship over rows which took place in Portugal during filming of the latest TOWIE series. Their flirtation began on the ITVBe show but Elma, 32, insisted ahead of returning to Love Island in January that a romance between her and Sammy, 24, would be off the cards after she admitted to falling into the 'habit of going back to the same people.' Despite their eight-year age difference, the couple reconnected on All Stars and reached the final, missing out on the £50,000 prize fund to Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, who also split earlier this year. Following recent breakups from Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, as well as Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard, the last remaining couple from this year's All Stars series is Grace Jackson and Luca Bish.

The last couple of series have been pretty tame, so it's time for a big one. And everything's just better in the sun,' she teased. Last month, Ella opened up about her split from her TOWIE ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar in a rare interview. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about the break-up, she shared: 'I'd known about going on the show for a while and honestly thought I was going in with a happy relationship. 'But things happened behind closed doors that I couldn't get over. For once, I put myself first.'

The reality icon, who left the show in a triple eviction alongside Patsy Palmer and Angellica Bell, also revealed she was surprised by the lack of support from her fellow TOWIE cast mates after her exit. She said: 'I only got messages from Freddie (Bentley), Saffron (Lempriere), and Dani (Imbert), like those are my three best friends. But no one else, which surprised me, I'm not going to lie. 'It was a bit sad because I would've messaged them if they were on a show, but I didn't hear anything. 'But then again, I don't know what they were going through at the time, so I don't hold it against them. I just know I would've messaged.'
