The company has attributed the loss of value to an increase in production to cater to the requirements of fans, as told in a statement to Forbes. Pop Mart said the product was made widely available, leading to a large number of individuals eventually purchasing one doll.
Labubus became a fashion trend among celebrities when the line of dolls became popular, with celebrities like Rihanna and Dua Lipa sporting it on Birkin Bags.
