Labubus have taken over. The troll-like monsters are, in fact, America's must-have toy.
The big picture: If you're looking to get your hands on your first one, like me, or add to your collection, stop by Gangnam Market's Labubu pop-up this weekend.
Zoom in: I'm fascinated with the hype, and the fashion and accessories you can choose to personalize your furry friends.
What to expect: You can shop a wide range of Labubus, plus clothing and accessories.
- Oh, and you can meet real-life, costumed Labubu characters and even get your Labubu tattooed by artist Hunter Chao.
What's next: Labubu Popup is 11am-8pm Saturday and Sunday at Gangnam Market, 1001 W. Chicago Ave.
