Thread 11588377

Are people starting to lose interest in these?

>>11588377 (OP)
That's too bad. I think these things are kind of cute. >>11561581

>>11588377 (OP)
I was never interested

>>11588377 (OP)
I knew about them before the kpop thing. Never liked them.
Modern labubu fans are posers too. They only like the plush Keychains but ignore the figures.

The plushies are cuter/more appealing than the figures though

Probably, it's a trend so by nature it's fleeting. At least Funko Pops had the appeal of characters from your heckin' favourite IP. These are also a trend among social media women, which means they will stop giving a shit when they stop getting attention for it, so it's even less trend-proof.

There's been a number of collaborations, so you can get The Monsters/Labubu dolls related to your heckin' favourite IP. One Piece, for example. Sometimes the collaborations involve characters from the other IP and other times they just incorporate another brand's design elements but not characters per se.

Fads like this rarely last longer than a fart. You're about to see these little shits pop up on ebay for dimes.

i'm more baffled at why Pop Mart didn't follow up the Monsters vinyl line after Have a Seat. they have a cash cow in their hands, yet they never took the opportunity to make a new set.

I hope not. I need it to last long enough the black fufus are available in my city.

Casuals who collect them because they're fun are growing tired of never finding the ones they want the most thanks to scapers. It wouldn't be the first time scalper greed killed interest in something.

what do normies who spend so much money on them do once the hyope is over?

When the prices of Beanie Babies crashed in late 1999 and early 2000, most people who'd bought them at high prices kept holding them. Only a minority sold and took the loss. Perhaps the market had become so illiquid that most people couldn't tolerate such a large loss.

Maybe it'll be the same for Labubus, but the situation is a bit different. Online resale markets are more established now than in the 1990s. Pop Mart will probably have a steadier hand than Ty (which was erratic: it announced it would stop producing Beanie Babies, then reversed its decision). So maybe it'll be a slower decline and only in certain parts of the world. So more people might sell their Labubus at a moderate loss instead of holding them forever.

Scalpers are still being greedy dicks, and they'd rather sit on something until after it's too late than sell it at a realistic moving price to get it sold. Like with these Halloween ones; they won't sell for half of that price in less than a month.

I got a clownworld labubu otw, paid a reseller but not too much all things considered.

I kinda want it

>>11588377 (OP)
I wish.

Labubus is such a lame slop
it's worse than funko
at least once in a while funko makes a cool monster figure or robot

It begins

The fun part of labubu is dressing them up, customizing, sewing them little things.

>>11594386
I don't care. I'm not purchasing mine to speculate or resell and $130 guaranteed is better than gambling.

>>11588377 (OP)
I wish. Still a pain in the ass to get them. People acting like they are easy to get like Yugioh cards or something. Hopefully it can die down a bit so I can actuslly buy a few.

They never made a tycoco so what’s the point

>>11593150
"Scalpers" just put them back on the market. The "final" buyer ultimately creates the demand and lowers the supply.

Look in the left corner of your image. The seller lowered from $94 to $78 and completed listings show there have been plenty of sales around that price. Most sellers over time adjust to market price.
