🐸 Labubu‑who? Why Gen Z Is Losing the Plot Over a Goblin Doll (and Why You’re Better Off With a Proper Cuppa ☕)
So you’ve just mastered the difference between TikTok and a tic‑tac, and along comes Labubu—the latest “must‑have” for the youths. If you’ve never heard of it, congratulations, your joints probably don’t click when you stand up. 🧓
For the uninitiated, Labubu is a three‑inch vinyl gremlin 👹 with pointy ears, nine teeth and a price tag that’ll make your pension squeal 💸. Limited editions vanish in seconds, and a four‑foot version recently fetched $170,000 at auction 😳—yes, for a giant garden gnome that can’t even brew tea.
👀 What on earth is a Labubu?
Born from Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung’s “The Monsters” series, Labubu jumped from cult figurine to global fashion flex 🧢 once Pop Mart started selling blind boxes 🎁—fancy loot bags for grown‑up kids. Now, Gen Z dangle Labubus off handbags like posh key‑rings and call it ✨ aesthetic.
🔥 The Roast (served hot, like a Sunday joint 🍖)
1. Queue‑Fiends United
Gen Z will camp outside a shopping mall at 3 a.m. ⛺ for a chance to maybe pull a rare Labubu. Meanwhile, you're at home in pyjamas 👘 clicking “add to basket” for Yorkshire Tea 🍵. Who’s winning here, really?
2. Flexin’ the Goblin
They’ll post an unboxing video 📦 screaming “OMG, shiny eyes! 😍” to 80K followers then eat instant noodles 🍜 for a week because rent is due. Priorities, mates.
3. Financial Literacy? Never Heard of Her.
💰 £130 for a blind box? For that, you could stock up on Bisto gravy for the year or grab our Limited Edition Queen Elizabeth II Mug 👑 and still have enough left for Hobnobs 🍪.
4. Eco‑what?
♻️ They preach sustainability but collect plastic goblins by the shoebox. Meanwhile, our classic china mugs 🏺 last decades unless you drop ’em during a “what’s up fam” TikTok dance 💃.
🤷♂️ But let’s be fair …
We get it collecting things is fun. Stamp albums, Beanie Babies 🧸, vinyl records 🎶: each generation has its weakness. If Gen Z want to splash the inheritance on a squishy elf, crack on. Just don’t forget where real comfort lives: in your belly. 🥘
