    Labubu’s are coming. Any parents with kids 5-10 these Labubu’s are about to become your worst nightmare and extract all your spare income.

    not in my bastard house they won’t. Horrific looking yokes. Jesus. They’re like elf on the shelf but more horrific looking.

    These new media prop trend toys are really starting to look like something you can make yourself out the back/up the attic in twenty minutes. That's probably the long/short term plan, the way things are going.

    It’s very difficult to buy these Labubu’s. Popnart app will give you notice of their availability coming up, but no way to know how many are available and they sell out immediately. It’s a bit like trying to get a Taylor Swift concert tkt!! How is everyone else getting on in their quest for Labubu’s??

    Lychee Berry Labubu is so cute!!

    I tried again today on Popmart app to buy the Labubu at its release time. It’s immediately out of stock again at the very second of release time. I wonder is it just that there is such small volume being released for sale each day, or is it that demand is so huge, or is the app technically just too wonky?? It’s impossible to buy.

    Yeah, it’s manufactured demand. They only release a certain number to keep demand, and hype, high.

    Yeah. I’m sure the Chinese company will scale up their manufacturing and these critters will soon be available on mass, and in shops like Smiths. These furry fe€kers are a phenomenon at the moment. But like the Gremlins when I was a kid!!

    I bought 2 Labubu’s in a shop in Liffey Valley. Or what I thought were Labubu’s. But they were actually Lafufu’s!! They are a bit wonky with heads, arms and legs that twist around.

    It's basically another way to sell us plastic.

    Don't fall for it! Why feed the profiteering polluters who try to get into your wallet using social pressure?

    Resist!!
