You guys are really mean about that adorable and cutesy Labubu. Although in your defense, male old farts are not expected to appreciate girlie toys of this type much.
In any case, here’s a short Labubu primer: https://www.nbcnews.com/select/shopping/what-is-a-labubu-rcna210622
First things first: Labubu is a girl. People often assume she’s a boy (I did too, at first), but the fanbase is quick to correct that. Labubu also isn’t a standalone character — she’s part of a larger group called “The Monsters”, created by Hong Kong artist and author Kasing Lung. The Monsters debuted in a Nordic mythology-inspired picture book trilogy in 2015, and by 2019, toy giant Pop Mart had turned them into the viral vinyl collectibles we know today.

Looks like eBay has quite a few Labubus as per: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=labubu&_sacat=0 so you can all satisfy any hidden urge to splurge on Labubus. 😉
Although you could get it by retail, too. In the different regions of the United States Pop Mart operates 31 stores, 5 pop-up locations, and 53 Robo Shop vending machines in the United States. And there is even a Pop Mart store in Lynnwood!!! 😲
Lastly:
While children do enjoy Labubu toys, the primary purchasing demographic is adults, particularly women aged 18-35. This age group, often referred to as “kidults” or “adult collectors,” drive a significant portion of sales and is more likely to be actively involved in purchasing and collecting these items, according to Pop Mart.
