This trend never got me or my kids and i never understood the fuss around it , I mean they are not pretty , they are not playable , or maybe it is because I am just getting old ? Born in 1988 here , maybe I just don't get the new generation .

> not playable ...

My Uber driver, a man about 35 years old, pulled up in a Tesla Model Y with four Lububus superglued to the dash.

Seems like some kind of status thing, not a plaything.

They are a dumb fad, just like all the other dumb fads before them.
Hey same age as you here.

They fill the same slot as like, troll dolls.

Remember Beanie Babies?
They are key-chain Furbies.

I was born in 1986 and I got excited finding them in stock for retail price at a store before the holidays, my daughter’s favorite color is blue and they joy she had at pulling a blue one then clipping it to her blue backpack and her calling it her “Lablublu” made me really happy. We got another one for my nephew’s girlfriend for Christmas and she called my girls on FaceTime and thanked them for the present. That felt like a good use of $80 in my opinion.
