      It sounds like something a Hollow Knight boss would yell before covering 75% of the screen in projectiles.

    Maybe I’m getting old but from the moment I saw that labubus were a thing I was disgusted. It’s just naked consumerism and conspicuous consumption, for which I have no patience at all now.

        And before that you had Hummels and other ceramic collectible dolls.

    How long have labubu’s existed? I feel like I saw one years ago, maybe 5 or more, but now they’re getting popular. Maybe i’m just misremembering or something.

    EDIT: answered my own question, they’ve been around since 2015, so I’m not crazy

    i have never heard the word labubu, seen it written, or seen one of those things

    is this it? is this the point where my hand has completely fallen off the arm of pop culture so i can no longer feel it’s pulse?

    a sad moment, made all the worse for being heralded by funko pops 2.0 deeper-sadness

    Apparently Russia is trying to ban these dolls because they’re “ugly” lol, but I think the real reason is to protect cheburashka from being eaten alive.

    And they’re not entirely wrong because look at how cute these things are:

    (And I honestly suspect the inspiration came from cheburashkas)

    these things are literally worse funko pops. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were literally re using funko pop material.

        I guess the false “variety” in having a billion funko pops vs these things that are essentially identical makes them seem even worse to me but theyre still essentially the same shitty plastic trash

          I agree they’re the same level of garbage but personally funko is more grating for being nostalgia bait with the same quality as a happy meal toy. Lulu I see more on par with high fashion; some people out there might actually enjoy the aesthetics but 99% of people clamoring for the evil furry cabbage patch are doing so for the sake of the trend and brand.
