I made a chrome extension game where your goal is to find a daily labubu hidden in world labs' marble worlds. Github: https://github.com/akdeb/world-labubus

The Labubu phenomenon is interesting not even sure where they came from but now they're just everywhere

Guessing you’re younger. Beanie babies and trolls were the same thing for millennials.

Insanity2• 10 months ago

I'm a millenial (early 90s) and only barely remember trolls and have no idea what beanie babies are. Homogeneous generations ("millenials, genZ,..") are kind of meaningless, there's too much variation within generations especially as you cross regions. :)

Basically a manufactured China-backed scheme leveraging TikTok

Why is a national conspiracy to sell toys more plausible than a harmless fad?

have you ever heard of Hello Kitty? Sanrio has 13B market cap.

Not following the connection between Popmart (Labubu) and Sanrio (Hello Kitty), other than the fact that they've done some licensing deals together.

Does anyone want Labubu in the real world?

Roughy the same crowd that is excited for new pop music releases.

hooverd2• 10 months ago

that's like what, a dozen people?

Roughy the same crowd that is excited for new pop music releases.

So a large amount of children and young adults?

hooverd2• 10 months ago

I see them about. Clearly somebody wants them or else nobody would buy them. I think they're adorable little figures. I don't get the hype around them though.

My local family donut shop now sells them and reports that they are doing well. I have seen them attached to at least one backpack out and about.

I had to go find the Marble thing. Looks interesting itself:

This is one thing you can spend your limited time on earth building

colechristensen5• 10 months ago

Commenting with this self-superior attitude is what you're spending your limited time on earth doing, have a little joy in your life or at least leave people who are alone.

Like spending money, if it makes you happy, it's not a waste.
