Labubu Is Finally Losing Its Magic (What Went Wrong?)

Labubu went from a small character in a children’s book to one of the biggest toy and collectible trends in the world. At its peak, POPMART’s value reached billions of dollars, while some rare Labubus sold for 10× or more than their original price. But celebrities were not the only reason for the Labubu hype. POP MART used blind boxes, rare figures, limited supply, FOMO, social media, and the resale market to keep people buying. As demand exploded, Pop Mart increased production from around 300,000 plush toys a month to nearly 30 million. But did making Labubu easier to find hurt the scarcity and hype that made it so popular? This is the story of Labubu, POP MART, blind boxes, the resale market, and what could happen next.
