I was deep into the youtube rabbitholes late one night and watched a minidoc about them. Labubus actually came from picture books that the owner made a long time ago when he spent his childhood in the Netherlands. It was called “Monsters” and these labubus are magical creatures that look freaky but are actually good little guys.
This is good information to know. I honestly chalked their popularity up to an advertising/media blitz combined with influencer clout thing.
We didn’t have influencers in the same way back in the 90’s but that’s a lot of why Furbies got popular back then (from what I recall). I also clearly don’t know how to spell Labubu.

It’s all toxic consumerism anyways
