2 million units by EOY, 2x from last year. So they're growing in popularity but at the risk of downplaying the situation we aren't exactly in a Labubu-level event yet.
Idk what this is but i googled it and it's basically if someone made a Troll doll fuck a funko pop. If these are spreading in china it's proof communism can't stop people from wasting resources on stupid trash
Communism can only disincentivize the creation of stupid trash. Liking stupid collectibles is genuinely human nature.
Most unrealistic part of the photo I saw of these things was a grown adult smiling while holding one rather than sighing in deep frustration
China's going to have their version of (dawn of?) the dead that also complains about the rise of consumerism
Iirc, it's because of k-pop idolatry.
Labubu blew up because Lisa from Blackpink bought one yeah, but it’s not like there wasn’t already a culture of consumerism like everywhere else in the world.
labubu's are cheap and collectible, so they're in a totally different category than smart glasses which presumably you buy one pair of and stick with for a while.
