The Weird Toy Trend That Made Parents Go Broke in 2025

Описание: What the hell is Labubu, and why did everyone suddenly own one in 2025?

In this episode of Wilko & Courts, we break down the rise and fall of the Labubu toy craze — from niche art collectible to viral fashion accessory, influencer obsession, and full-blown cash grab.

We unpack:
– Where Labubu actually came from
– How blind boxes rewired people’s brains
– Why parents (and adults) went broke chasing “rare” toys
– The influencer moment that made it explode
– And why the hype already feels… over

From Stanley Cups to mystery toys, we ask the big question: how do trends spread so fast now — and why do we all fall for them?

🎧 This is the final Wilko & Courts Podcast episode of 2025 — and yes, it goes completely off the rails.

💬 Let us know in the comments: did you buy a Labubu… or judge people who did?
