They are ugly (apparently in a cute way) and they come in those blind packages like trading cards. There are different colors, some of which are supposedly rare.
There are a million of these stupid blind box toys now, and this one just happened to get popular on tiktok or something.
It is probably just me but that shit belongs in a mascot horror game, it is terrifying.
You're not the only one.
Now, as a skeptic myself, I say you don't have to really take much stock into what I'll say next, but multiple people I know who claim to be psychic (9), of different ages (18-56), if different religions/spirituality, all eerily said the exact same thing when I asked them (first jokingly, then out of curiosity) what they thought of Labubus.
And each one, first thing they said was "the creator made a deal with a demon". Not necessarily that the thing itself was evil (although they all got bad "vibes" from them), just that the popularity was a result of that, specifically.
I did inquire if they thought the same about previous fads (such as garbage pail kids) but they said no, just this one.
Now obviously correlation doesn't mean causation, and this sample size is tiny. I only thought it was a peculiar anecdote.
But, if there were to be a Faustian bargain to be had, fueling the climate and plastic pollution crisis via plastic figures sold in a gambling and predatory capitalistic manner does seem like something a demon would do lol.
I do not exactly know what psychic means but I am an atheist and do not think that I actually have any brain issues just that I am kinda dumb and that I have a high chance if dying from brain related issues as not if my grandparents died from brain issues. And the cabbage patch is also pretty bad, but this has teeth things on the bottom of its head that's what makes it belong in horror.
