have you ever heard of Hello Kitty? Sanrio has 13B market cap.

Not following the connection between Popmart (Labubu) and Sanrio (Hello Kitty), other than the fact that they've done some licensing deals together.

Beanie Babies peaked in maybe 1998 and were at one point 10% of sales on eBay. If you were an American above the age of 5 in 1998 I'm not sure it's possible to be unaware of them.

Agreed…not owning one is understandable. Not hearing about it at all in the US if you’re a millennial is perplexing (I’m an early 90s kid too).

Does anyone want Labubu in the real world?

Roughy the same crowd that is excited for new pop music releases.
