The cult and community of Labubu
67% Informative
Once a niche character from China -based toy brand Pop Mart , Labubu is now a social media darling.
New releases sell out in seconds and spark bidding wars, with consumers often paying double or triple the retail price.
The # Labubu hashtag has racked up tens of millions of views on TikTok .
Celebrities like Rihanna , Dua Lipa , Hilary Duff , and Bretman Rock wear their Labubus proudly.
Having a rare or trendy Labubu signals cultural fluency. It says you know where the hype is, and you got there first , or paid the price to catch up.
The blind box craze is built on a delicate balance of luck and longing, of personal taste clashing against pure randomness.
In the age of TikTok , this moment of disappointment becomes performance, drama, and, unexpectedly, community.
For some, Labubu collecting goes beyond aesthetic and enters the realm of emotional care.
