Frustration and frustration for British Labubu lovers: Sales of small plush decoratives, reminiscent of a rabbit crossing with a monster, were interrupted in the shops that traded them because of the problems they were causing.
With their vibrant colors, the dolls were made in a few weeks a necessary fashion accessory, as even a star such as Dua Lipa were seen to keep them.

The “phenomenon” Labubu is not limited to celebrities. In Tiktok many viral videos have been released and have been viral that open boxes to find a surprise doll.
The plums, which some consider “scary”, are the birthplace of Cashing Lung, a cartoonist from Hong Kong and the creator of the series “The Monsters”. Their price is around 30 euros but some exceed 100 euros on the Chinese Pop Mart website that markets them.
Tiktok has more than 1 million videos on Labubu.
The pop Mart, however, announced Monday that it is withdrawing them from its stores in the United Kingdom because consumers form high queues to obtain them even at night, resulting in “security” problems.
Online sales are not affected.
“We are adopting a new approach (…) that will allow the whole world to have the opportunity to buy the dolls equally,” the Chinese company said today in a post on Instagram.
Waiting, Labubu fans express their frustration on social media websites.
