Labubu Doll Craze Hits Paris: Long Lines and Sold-Out Shelves

Parisian streets witnessed an unusual scene recently: a long queue of people eagerly waiting to purchase Labubu dolls outside a Pop Mart store. This reflects a global trend of fervent demand for these unique collectible toys. The craze has been so intense that some UK stores temporarily pulled Labubu stock due to reports of customers fighting over them. One TikTok user, Alikhan, documented the Paris scene, commenting, "Everything was sold out when we got inside." His video highlights the intensity of the demand, showing a line stretching down the block. The popularity of Labubu dolls, created by Kasing Lung, underscores the power of viral trends and collectible culture. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential safety risks associated with highly sought-after items. The temporary suspension of sales in the UK suggests a need for retailers to manage demand effectively and prioritize consumer safety.
