💨 Abstract

Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, projects a 350% profit surge in the first half of 2025, driven by the popularity of its Labubu plush toy. The Labubu's success, like other iconic toys such as Cabbage Patch Kids, Beanie Babies, and Tamagotchi, remains a mystery rooted in societal trends and consumer fascination.
