They are taking the world by storm! Labubu's are not merely a toy for your kids; they are a statement. A status symbol. A lifestyle. There are two types of people in the world: those who Labubu and those who don't. You must decide which one you are.

So I ask: which one are you, /toy/

The one who remembers Monchichis and doesn't give a shit about those.

meanwhile in China chinese labubu collector female commited sudoku after she had a fight with Labubu Investors at the labubu selling machine
(she jumped down the mall that is a multiple levels building - there are photos but i wont post them - here is how it started)

Labubu is fucking curse. worse than pokemon cards which is another investorfag driven cursed hobby

>>11491883
russian tiktokers trolling a kid by stealing his labubu

>>11491878 (OP)
i thought labubus are soft + rubber face
had no idea they are plastic doll + suit... this makes them much shittier

>>11491926
Well you’re not meant to take the fur off like that…

>>11491929
i mean i assumed it feels nice to touch them - their body is soft and face has nice touch feel of a rubber. So i kind of wanted to try having one in hand

now - they can just fuck off.. it's just a hard plastic doll wearing suit

these things look hideous
>but that's the point!
ok they still look hideous

>>11491959
I don’t really find them hideous

>>11491969
I don't know what the right term for it but it's a corporate kind of hideous. like it's designed in a lab to be ugly, but still marketable. which somehow makes it even uglier. it's like when you see a brand do "abstract" human caricatures that were clearly laid out in a guidebook somewhere.

>>11492009
it's literally just Beanie Babies again but worse.
funko pops at least has different forms and shapes despite souless humans and can appeal to nerds (picrelated for example)

this shit is literally souless
there is no way to un-souless-ify a la-fucking-bubu

>>11491926
They aren't. This is a bootleg.

>>11492009
I like the original design more

>>11492009
I always thought they were loosely based or ripped off of Where the Wild things Are monsters. Mainly Carol etc.

>>11491878 (OP)
>>11491883
This is the type of thing Dr. Doofenshmirtz or a Totally Spies villain would create.
>when I was a kid I couldn't buy pokemon cards because of scalpers and investorfags
>but with my latest invention I will finally have my revenge
>these Labubu dolls are designed to take full control of a person's subconscious and drive them mad, plunging society into chaos
In fact I'm pretty sure this is the exact plot of a TS episode.

>>11491883
>Labubu Investors
You mistyped "scalper scum".

>>11491938
>>11491926
That's a bootleg. The real ones are attached to a face and hands/feet with a soft body. The fur is high quality so they do feel nice. Vinyl face + plush body is really nostalgic.

>>11491883
This crazy shit started with the fake Tik tok videos of them being demons and haunted. Thats why people are going crazy for these things. The retards think those videos are true and everyone now thinks they will own a cursed demon doll. Kek.

fucking tiktok zoomoid who the fuck cares about demons fucking LMAO

it's all just another scam/scheme to get rich quick because faggots like you buying another NFT/Pokemon cards/Seakers like thing and investors pumping it up

geez what a bunch of stupid fucks
>>11492714
>Vinyl face + plush body is really nostalgic.
yeah im really sure you buying them because they are NoStaLgIc

>>11492939
Don't project subby

>>11491878 (OP)
Honestly, the artist just stole the idea. I mean he got inspired by the book ilustrations and totally not just mixed the boy with a monster face!

>>11492939
>NFT sheme
This. It is the new Beanie Babies. And some hope to cash out at the right moment.

>>11492956
>Honestly, the artist just stole the idea. I mean he got inspired by the book ilustrations and totally not just mixed the boy with a monster face!
I'm a huge fan of where the wild things are. I had it as a kid. I have vinyl statues of monsters and i bought a sealed Nintendo DS game just for collection even.

labubu is absolutely nothing related to this. Don't insult wild things by comparing this garbage beanie trash to them.

>>11492957
>This. It is the new Beanie Babies. And some hope to cash out at the right moment.
I can imagine how in the future it will be lame to show off labubu.

Like...nobody in a sane mind would be showing off Fidget Spinner these days.
while i remember people back then buying fidget spinners for $80

>>11492946
>Don't project subby
BUY BUY BUY
NEW THING HYPE!!! BUY!!! THEY ARE SO COOL I LIKE THEM BUY BUY!!! RICH!!! EXPENSIVE BUY!!!

>>11491878 (OP)
I love them because i love art doll type plush

>>11492971
Related? I said he sto… i mean he liked it so much he merged Max and Moishe.

>>11492972
And brag about them. Forgotten in the youtube algprhytm.

>>11492939
>im really sure you buying them because they are NoStaLgIc
I have one lol and I bought it before they blew up. $25 from a vending machine. Because I thought it was cute.

>>11492971
>>11492956
They recently made more toys of these.

>>11492971
you are wrong. There was even a WTWTA Collab. They are loosely based off the them its widely known and accepted.

>>11492971

>>11491878 (OP)
I am indifferent to them.
I find the reaction to their sudden, inflated urge kind of funny. Lots of youtubers making 'what is a labubu' videos and some thinking blind box toys are something new. The reaction to it is more interesting than the situation itself. Pokemon is still being scalped to high heaven. The stories of scalpers for those are kind of funny because they are spending thousands of dollars on booster packs, and the odds of getting the card are still bad. It is like they are gambling their purchases on gambling products. Several of them got destroyed financially when the previous set sold bad. They will probably get hit bad with this next one too because most don't have any idea what they are even buying. It is funny and sad.
Regardless, I think Labubus are the latest Stanley Cup craze. Remember when people were buying up Stanley Cups? I think its something like that. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts.
I do feel bad about the original fans of these because their space got invaded really bad. That would be like if you were collecting this one line of figures and suddenly everyone and their mom wanted it and was scalping the hell out of it. How frustrating.

>>11494041
>Regardless, I think Labubus are the latest Stanley Cup craze. Remember when people were buying up Stanley Cups? I think its something like that. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts.
Remember how quickly Stanley Cups died once it was revealed they had lead in them? I hope Labubus are made from asbestos or some shit.

>stanley cups
zoomers don't know about beenie babies?
or even spinners or pop it?

>>11494125
I'm not a zoomer, and I have mentioned Cabbage Patch Dolls and Beanie Babies in previous threads about fads and/or Labubus.
I only replied to the anon that brought up Stanley Cups because it was hilarious how quickly that fad died in the middle of it's peak all because of a YouTuber with a home lead testing kit.

It's fucking crazy just how much people fall for these dumbass "it's gonna be worth something some day" trends.
I genuinely think people who buy into this are the most insecure people around. They don't actually want the doll. They want to be a part of something because they're fucking boring otherwise.

>>11494150
>I'm not a zoomer, and I have mentioned Cabbage Patch Dolls and Beanie Babies in previous threads
should have used your regular nickname and avatar then
How else people would recognize you in other threads, silly?

>>11494171
I don't need to be recognised. I'm just explaining something to a retard that assumes people are zoomers if they talk about anything from the last 5 years.

>>11494171
ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?

>>11494100
Oh dang I didn't hear that about.
>>11494125
They surely have, but the Stanley cup craze was about 1 year ago. It has all the same signs of being artificially hyped up, in my opinion.
Beanie Babies craziness was about 25 years ago, but I think it was a little different than what is happening now with Labubus. We only need to look a couple years in the past to see similar trending items spike in populariry out of nowhere, and then fizzle out just as quickly.

>>11494164
I think for a lot of them, the mentality is that they are somewhat aware they are buying into a trend that they don't actually care about, so they justify it by thinking that the things they're buying will go up in value and so they aren't actually "spending" money.

I see it quite a lot in another hobby that got hit by this bullshit. People see the videos on tiktok and then they come in and demand to know which ones are rare and valuable and will have the most resale value. I kid you not, I actually saw a post from someone saying they only wanted to buy sets that would go up in value. Like, you're talking to people who actually like these things... These people think they're clever but man, just spend your money on things you enjoy!!

>>11491883
>>11491884
The only peace I have in it is knowing that much like Beanie Babies the shit's absolutely worthless, and in the end assholes were assholes for no good reason at all.

>>11494178
>>11494253
>zoomoid is too retarded to get the joke
what a faggot

But who else would be a fucking labubu-fag, kek

>>11494283
Wait, there was a hockey craze last year?

>>11494578
It's a brand of portable cup.

>>11494682
Oh. I was going to get sort of excited then, as I liked hockey when I was younger.

>>11492973
I thought basedface died out because basedjack memes made people realize it's cringe to unhinge your jaw in "surprise"

>>11494376
>I was only pretending to be retarded
Many such cases.

>>11494804
labubufag still mad
Your toys are cursed trash

>Furby's

How about ky's you illiterate nigger.

>>11494890
Yes, I love the Labubu fad so much that I said I hope they turn out to be made from asbestos.

>>11491926
Eww looks like a troon

>>11494890
They're not as much of a money-pit waste as Funko Pops, though.

>>11492971
You can't deny the source

>>11491878 (OP)
Too many labubu threads for my liking.
I wonder what's going to be the next npc toy when these things inevitably end up in a landfill.

>>11496456
It will be Silly Bands 2: Electric Boogaloo

>>11496456
Amazing how even degraded rushton dolls from the 50s look better than these things. In concept I like vinyl faced plush but all the modern blind box ones suck. Blind box prices in general are getting insane

>>11496456
RIPSQUAD LABUBU DUBAI CHOCOLATE

I hate these things so much it's fucking unreal. My gf is obsessed with these ugly fucks
