Is labubu like beanie babies or more like cabbage patch kids for adults? Like are they just popular (cabbage patch) or is there a whole “you might make money off them” aspect (beanie babies) too? I apologize in advance for asking this🥴

Cabbage patch kids but with a slight smattering of trying to find a Pokemon shiny as they have limited version but their acquisition isn’t especially speculative

After yesterday’s news story about “skibidi” being added to the Cambridge Dictionary (yes, I know, slow news month), I’m no longer sure that I can talk sensibly or knowledgeably about any part of modern popular culture.
