Next day I failed to secure a Labubu from the original store in Pop Mart, I decided to comfort myself at 10 acres of the theme park pop land in Central Beijing-and probably it was a desire to come to Disney’s lunch. (“Our art toys are like Disney’s movie,” says Wang A organization of a kind. “They use movies to reach out to consumers, to cultivate fans and make IP and fan communities we we do it through art toys” “)
The size of the Universal Studios in Disneyland in Pop Land Beijing and Shanghai is about 1 percent, but not like other theme parks, it sits right by Consulate district and some subway moves away from Beijing’s most populated business zone. It is in a city green place, which means pop mart was not allowed to move even a tree. Instead, the company renovated an abandoned building on the property and named it Molly’s fort. A leafy area has turned into a Labubu adventure forest, though it looks much brighter and more infant than the original image of the lungs. At one end of the forest, the actors left a “Warriors Training Camp” in full -sized Labubu suits.
I stopped at the restaurant in the park, on the third floor of Molly’s fort. The moment I was sitting at a table and told the waitress that I came alone, he left a 23 -inch long plush doll in the opposite chair. My dining Buddy is Gymomo, the male head of the Labubu clan of the original children’s book, and one of the rare pop -mart products sold. Throughout my lunch, the other pop land visitors I bought themselves with the gimmy doll and if they could take any pictures of it, they would come to ask. I think I’m dining with a celebrity.
A mother with her young daughter on the table next to me. I ask what brought them here. Mother told me that her daughter, who was 4 years old in less than a month, fell in love with Laboobu by watching the Chinese version of Tickets Duen. She thought she was about to buy two zyomo dolls for her daughter, but they spent $ 200 per their re -sale market, so she’s still debating. Just the previous day, he saw on social media that a friend’s daughter had a Labubu-Them-Human birthday party, where the house was filled with dozens of rare labubas. He showed me the video of the party on his phone. “His mother paid a lot of money to get these,” he says.
Since I started my own Labubu Hunt, I know that the option exists to go to a reseller, often referred to by the word slander in China HuangNew (Literally “yellow bull”). I have heard from pop -mart customer Dong since 2018 in Shanghai that many Huangniws know that he knows that the bot use the bot, which monitors social media to re -decorate the announcements and occupies new merchandise in milliseconds that are dropped. Dong has paid a small amount to join the group chats where HuangNew publishes initial information. She says herself a Feniu Now – between a fan and a Huangniere. He has collected most of the Labubu products already published, so he just bought new to sell to other fans for profit. (Which I think he is Huangniw.)
