Not just yet. Now that the knowledge of Labubus is mainstream they will go out of fashion soon. But there will be one last wave while normies pretend to be fashionable.
my dude i am on my sixth copy of Jasper Fforde's Shades of Grey because no one gives it back and honestly, i'm kind of cool with that it's my favorite book/series. we don't have that many stanleys, but FFS we get so many crappy nalgenes as swag at conventions i don't know what to do with them all. now i guess we have a "you had an earthquake and weren't paying attention" cupboard because
happens with all those shitty nalgenes.
I want to see someone make a fully articulated one of these with custom software running on it so it writhes along with whatever furby stuff it's doing.

They are demonic. The business practices are pure evil... And the dolls themselves are unsettling, like a furbee or something, but that's neither here nor there
The screenshot is bad enough that I can't tell if this is a troll where they took a picture of the back of one, or where they actually collected that much dog hair for a joke photo.
one of the couples at lesbian game night has a husky and hoo boy. you ain't kidding. that was a fun afternoon taking turns helping her through her shed tho.
The first time I had ever heard about labubus was the last episode of South Park. I thought they were just some dumb thing Matt and Trey came up with to use as a vehicle to talk about the tariffs, then I learned they were actually real.

Labubus are still a thing? I thought that wave of idiocity had passed already?

Honestly thought South Park made them up, I had never heard of them before that. It's beanie babies all over again.

I'll bet she doesn't have 500 copies of the same book with different colors of covers.

Collecting something can be a fun hobby. Buying collectibles is something a fucking idiot does.

At one point I had three copies of Bryson's Short History. I think they're all on permanent loan at this point. Pretty happy with that

I have one of those because it's the only damn 2L metallic closeable bottle I could find to refill twice everyday.
orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 346d
But do you have 20?
Nikls94@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 345d
I have the MEGA tanka by ecotanka. 2L stainless steel bottle with neoprene suit. It keeps it cool for hours
laranis@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 346d
I am a good benchmark for this stuff. If I know what Labubu is because I had to find it on Urban Dictionary then it has run its course.
The other canary is NPR. Anything on NPR is a dead meme.

Putting links in spoiler tags makes them much harder to click on mobile, fyi

I wonder how many containers of those thingies are still shipping around the globe...

How many have fallen off their container ship and are mow adrift, waiting to be dug up from the seafloor in 200 years

I can afford a labubu. But why would I buy one
simplejack@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 346d
Because the social safety net is broken and gambling on rare labubus is your retirement now.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 345d
wait they're just godsdamned beanie babies? AGAIN? does anyone have a spare labubu so i can put farts in its head
Paradachshund@lemmy.today · 19 pts · 346d
Honestly cuter than actual labubu

I just yesterday watched a video by Emma Thorn making fun of people who think these are demonic. Never heard of them before

It's dog hair, could be from a single session of brushing depending on the kind of dog they have.
