does anyone know anyone in real life who’s into this? it feels like a meme coin or beanie babies where the media won’t shut up about how hot it is, and yet, you don’t know anyone on the bandwagon
This is pretty similar to Beanie Babies, but not Pokemon or Pog because you could play with those. Beanie Babies were popular for some reason (right place right time? Brilliant viral marketing?) and then became an investment opportunity. Same with Labubu. I’ve always seen talk about how much they’re worth, and the blind box adds a bit of gambling to it, which I guess is similar to opening a pack if cards.
the onset of the concept is as retarded as it can get. It is roughly along the lines of “are you sad that you can not buy this extra expensive gucci bag? then buy a labubu not worth a dime for 100$ and hang it on your bag instead.”
My nieces. I don’t understand it. Maybe it’s something like with Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards back then. It’s popular for some reason, children get on board with it and want to be a part of it and then we get this trend.
Original Pokémon has a whole world designed around it with lore and stuff and it has endured the test of time (this is coming from a non-fan). This is just another retarded social media hype and will die out in a year or so like Primer or dubai chocolate and after that you will only see it in gas stations for two dollars.
Yea, but Pokemon and yugioh where actual games that you could play. Not saying that can’t play with dolls, but its way different from cards.
Also I know no one in my circle owning one, and I find it a fake hype.
This is the same sort of thing boomers would say about Pokemon and Yugioh.
I’m not even a boomer.
Sounds like something a boomer would say. But seriously, they didn’t call you a boomer.
I had to open the freaking link to try to understand what lububu word even means 🥲
and you still think humanity will prevail at the face of adversities?
Dude… I’m still not done with the fidget spinner fad. This is going too fast!
It is ok to miss some of the vogue incidents.
I have heard rumours that the Brits have a new king?
Yeah, the last one wanted to marry an American divorcee and that just won’t do
They kind of remind me of MonChiChi and I didn’t understand those either
Oh yeah I had one of those when I was a kid 🙂 I never liked it because it was a combination of plush toy (nice) with hard rubber bits in it (not nice).
This lady’s jort game is strong.
