Since we were in that area last night we decided to check out the store and sure enough they were on the shelves available to purchase for RRP

I remember seeing a video of a fan asking Renee Rapp to sign a labubu. The fan is talking about how Renee loves the labubu while Renee grouses, "I hate it, this is like, so ugly to me".
It was pretty funny I get Renee content because I'm a Towa Bird fan.

2025 Beanie Babies.

Is it really though? It never felt like a real full-on fad, the way Beanie Babies were, or Furbies, or even stuff like Baby Yoda or Elmo. It seems way less ubiquitous, and when it does show up it always feels a bit more astroturfed than organic.

Then again, I avoid TikTok and its culture like the plague, so maybe it was more prevalent there. But in that case, I also don't care.

At least Beanie Babies were cute.
Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest.. is silence.

I see them frequently around in trendy shops and whatnot. I know more than a few regular people with Labubus

I just hope they don't gain sentience like the Furbies.

If not for South Park, I'd have no clue what these were.
