Prior to the Labubu frenzy, Popmart did seem sort of charming from afar. A comparitively small company, focused entirely on blindbag figurines, with fingers in every pie as far as brands go. Peanuts, Garfield, Hello Kitty, Doraemon. Your typical run of the mill cutesy collector fodder. They felt like a company out of time. A product of the early 2000's when we still had Hello Kitty stores in the states. But with Labubu being what it is now there's much more of an obvious greed to it all. The Labubu themselves are effectively E-girl NFT monkeys. All the care and effort that was once present has dissipated in exchange for a Funko tier business model. Sad.
