Labubu craze: Child goes on ₹48 lakh destructive rampage after parents deny plush toy request — here's what happened
Labubu craze, which has taken the internet by storm, dug a deep hole in parents' pockets after they refused to buy the creepy doll for their child. In a recent incident, a child was upset and enraged after his parents refused to give in to his demands, vent out his anger by damaging a glass ceiling and smashed a crystal chandelier, worth over ₹ 4 lakh, according to South China Morning post, Documenting the shocking incident, a Chinese influencer known as 'Little Azheng' or 'Tail Brother' on social media said that a 'petulant' child caused more than ₹ 48.72 lakh (400,000 yuan) in damage. The embarrassed parents took responsibility of their child's unruly actions and offered to pay almost half the expenses of the damage, almost ₹ 24.36 lakh (20,000 yuan). Describing the happenings, the influencer said that a relative had visited his home with a young boy who wanted to get his hands over a Labubu doll adorned with expensive jewellery. When the child's request was turned down, he 'made a big fuss' and began throwing tantrums. Resentful and fuming, he grabbed a remote-control device and tossed it into the air causing the massive damage. The influencer shared pictures of damaged chandelier and pieces of glass scattered across the floor as he noted, 'The repair work for the ceiling alone requires removing and replacing all the remaining glass panels.' A few days ago, a rare Labubu x Vans plush doll was sold for a whopping $10,585 on eBay, making it one of the most expensive dolls sold so far.

This kid in China couldn't get a Labubu doll, so he caused damage worth $56,000 (Rs 40 lakhs) instead
While some call it scary and evil, others are simply fawning over it. The craze for Labubu dolls is getting out of hand, it seems. This kid from China, who was denied the elf-like creature, born a monster, from the Chinese toy maker Pop Mart, at a relative's home, chose violence and caused damage worth over $56,000 (over Rs 40 lakhs). Here's what happened. 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.
