China and Chinese people and creatives are finally getting the spotlight they deserve with the massive success of Pop Mart, Black Myth: Wu Kong, Genshin Impact, Douyin/TikTok among others.
Popmart is the perfect storm and string together lots of synergetic elements. I hope this is sustainable beyond temporary hype like beanie babies and cabbage patch kids. Opening that many store location is risky. Wish them luck though. I’m happy a homegrown company from china is doing so well.
Love your videos! My fave character is Skullpanda. I have several rare pieces of her from what they called secret and super secret and super super rare items.
For the international market, the hype was singlehandedly driven up after people spotted Blackpink's Lisa with a Labubu. That was the trigger that got people curious about the brand started the craze over Labubu.
Great explanation! Wanted to lyk that the picture you use at 9:47 is actually of lines outside MIXUEBINGCHENG, a Chinese milk tea store and not Popmart!
Not much different from rich people collecting bear bricks, nikes, NFTs, luxury handbags made of special canvas coated with PVC selling for thousands of dollars.
It's like random booster packs for card games, except without the excuse that it can be used to play games. The mtg scene has change completely since I played in alpha. We used to play a lot and buy specific cards we wanted off the secondary market. Then they introduced things like standard and all people do now is open blind boosters for a chance of a rare card. Most channels are just about market value, and almost nobody plays anymore. Its gambling.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's "trash". People obsessed over many things, super cars, lego, luxury bags, sports. People will also find what you like pointless or useless. It's find to not like what others like but why so hostile towards it?

I don’t understand the hype. If I want to buy something, I need to know what I am getting
Yes, some of us are built this way. Others love surprises and live for the thrills!
then gacha is not for you.
he understands women’s hype and fomo mentality
I don't get the craze over this pile of trash
To be honest, neither do I but it appeals to so many. And that’s the beauty of the human race. We are all wired differently.
Trash is a harsh word for something you don't understand. Treat it like an art
