Hey there! Have you heard the big news? A super rare mint green Labubu toy just sold for over 1 million yuan (that’s about $170,000) at an auction in Beijing! 😮
Wait, what’s Labubu? Labubu is a cute and quirky character from Pop Mart’s art toy collection. These toys have become wildly popular all around the world! 🌍
Fans from places like Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America have been lining up to get their hands on new releases. Imagine people camping out overnight just to buy a toy! 🏕️
The mint green Labubu that sold at the auction was one-of-a-kind. There was also a limited-edition brown Labubu, one of only 15 in the whole world, which sold for 820,000 yuan (about $114,000)! 😲
Why are these toys so popular? Well, they’re not just toys—they’re collectible art pieces! Chen Rui, an associate professor at the Communication University of China, says that Labubu’s success shows how far China has come in the art toy world. 🎨
But remember, while collecting can be fun, it’s important to shop wisely. Chen Rui also reminds us not to spend so much that it affects our daily lives. So, collect responsibly! 😊
