This kid in China couldn't get a Labubu doll, so he caused damage worth $56,000 (Rs 40 lakhs) instead
The family had visited their relative's place, where the toddler noticed a Labubu doll adorned with jewelry. The toy belonged to an influencer popularly known as Little Azheng or Tail Brother. The kid threw a tantrum when he was denied the doll, and threw a remote control in anger. He ended up shattering a mirrored glass ceiling worth US$14,000 and an Italian crystal chandelier worth US$41,000.
What's worse is that the boy refused to apologise for the damage caused.
The boy's parents offered only $2,500 (Rs 2 lakh) as compensation, which is far less than the actual damage. They said that they were poor and could only afford this much. They asked the influencer not to post about the incident on social media to protect the boy's image. Furthermore, they requested him not to involve the court and take a legal route
Tail Brother agreed to accept the partial compensation because he had no other option. However, he criticised the family's use of kinship pressure and low offer.

Meanwhile, the Labubu doll craze has become a global phenomenon, especially after celebrities like
K-pop star Lisa and Rihanna were seen with it. The elf-like figures known for their quirky, wide smiles and toothy grins have been created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and marketed by Chinese toy giant Pop Mart.

Originally priced at US$20 to US$40, Labubu dolls are now reselling for thousands of dollars. Some of the rare editions have been sold for over US$150,000 at auctions. This has led to Pop Mart's profits surging over 350% in the first half of 2025, and a market valuation soaring above US $40 billion.
