    They better offload those quick. They’ll be worthless as soon as the next consumerist fad comes along.

        Fools are easily parted with their money.

        I went to SDCC a week or two ago, and my cousin who apparently was saying they were dumb and useless before then suddenly wanted one, so she bought like two. One of them for $60. I mean, I also spent a lot of money on useless crap…

          My wife loves them, but luckily (kinda) she loves the fucked up knockoffs more, so I surprise her with a $10 piece of garbage every so often.

    …WHY? I feel like there are far more products you could nab that are easier to offload and you don’t have to worry about a fad dying. Wait quick buck coasts them nothing, need to stop applying business logic to petty criminals and corporations.

    Not that I can’t understand why people are obessed with such thing, but aren’t these Labubu dolls really, really ugly? I wouldn’t want them if I win them at a carnival.
