Is the Craze Around Labubus Slowly Dying?

Have you ever seen a Labubu hanging off of someone’s bag? 

Labubus are collectibles with a huge smile, long ears, and nine sharp teeth showing. They are made by a Chinese company called Pop Mart. The Labubu is a magical creature that appears in a fairy tale by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. Labubus became popular when the famous K-pop star Lisa started making videos about how she loved Labubus. From there, it spiraled, and then everyone started buying them. Celebrities like Dua Lipa, Naomi Osaka, Kim Kardashian, and Rihanna have all been spotted with Labubus.
