ONE MOR THING BEFORE I STAY ON YIXUAN'S PAGE phel is a horrible gacha addict every royalty check he gets for his songs gets deposited into popmart orders his shelves are full there are puckys and smiskis everywhere he collects characters he doesn't even like but the completionist part of his brain forces him to they hang off of his monitor and he drills holes into the tops to make keychains that he keeps on anything with a zipper or a hook and gifts them to friends when he gets doubles

THE LATE GREAT POP MART MANIFESTO

Yes, the title sounds fucking insane but follow me on this.

So I’m guessing by now we all know about POPMART right? It’s become the new decentralized place to get all your dumb stupid trinkets.  all of the popular tick-tock trend hoppers are now hopping on the amazing new Labubu, or the other ones are also super expensive and low-key kind of made, but are cute working, and TikTok popular™️

No listen I do not have a problem with POPMART at all. Even I have bought some POPMART figurine not because I wanted to post them online but because I genuinely found them cute or they were part of my favorite franchises.

But I think I’m more mad at what day now represent to the mass market, which is the glamorization of overconsumption in our media, especially tick-tock, and Instagram, and all other short form platforms.

I believe this all started with the rise of sunny angels, and how companies were able to see that having dumb little trinkets that were cute while also being boring enough, but everyone could like it would make a big money. No I would never call Labubu boring or basic because I like them before they were popular. But I feel like there now just preaching to the choir if that’s the correct term. They aren’t using as many crazy ideas recently and I kind of using the same popular entities like Labubu to grow their brand. I believe there’s so much more actually opened the POPMART amusement park in China and it’s literally all just like labubu. Even though there are other, and sometimes even greater designs out there from different POPMART entities like pucky or crybaby or the smaller ones that aren’t as wide reaching and have not been in stock in sometime .

Labubu and POPMART, in general have really only become popular due to TikTok, and they need to be in a trend. Everybody when it’s sunny angels when it blew up and everyone wanted the boo-boos when it blew up and now it’s the other one turns. I can’t think of her name-skull panda! That’s the name. Everyone only collect them to seem popular and in trend. Which is also hurting the trinket community. How many times have you tried searching for your favorite figurine only to find out that it’s become “TikTok popular” and is now harder to find then the lost Ark? I literally have been trying to look for Sunny angels since like early 2021 and they are always sold out everywhere. Not because people like them but because they’re popular and owning them has become a bit of a status symbol in our society in which we are coming towards economic downfall. 

I have a personal favorite, which is the pucky roly-poly cat line. Sadly, this line its original parent line pucky, and the pucky fur roly poly line have said we become TikTok famous, of course it isn’t as bad as blah boo-boo or sunny angel but it’s become popular enough to where they are constantly sold out and I have yet to find them on places that will ship quicker than two weeks. Now I know what you’re saying, why not just buy them off of AliExpress the official store also is there!?, and while I will do that when I have the money to you also have to remember it takes up to two weeks to even ship! I love AliExpress, but I will only order something if I’m OK with the fact that it’s gonna be a little late.  I usually buy trinkets in figurines when I am either verysad or very happy and need a good pick me up. And I think that’s what trinkets should be for.  they should be for the average person having a bad day that needs a really good light in their life! Not be boring as fuck TikTok influencer, who just wants to seem popular to the now growing community of tick-tock trinket collectors 

THEM

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate TikTok. I actually use it all the time. It’s the best place for discovering or finding out more people who are interested in your special interest! I’m currently hyper fixated on the Infinity Nikki game and I have found a ton of beautiful guide and super cool people because of it! But that doesn’t stop the point that TikTok has a really bad overconsumption problem.

Whether it be make up, body scrub, or just trinkets, tick-tock, find something super niche, and not really popular in the main stream, and makes it popular! To the detriment of the original founders of said strange hobby. TikTok has ruined a lot of things for me personally. I am a big fan of the obscure Sanrio character marumofubiyori. TikTok found out about him and suddenly any and all types of March of him goes up to $200?! Mind you this character has been out of stock since at least late 2022. I can find Charmy kitty merch that cost less than that?! What character that haven’t been used since the 2010’s! One TikTok find something you love, they make it Uber popular, which while can be good for building a community can also break it by making whatever it is cost way more. This is what has happened to pop market and all other types of trinket collecting hobbies. Figurines that used to cost at most $10 now can go up to $100! Do you like Labubu? Tough shit pay me $1000 for this blue colored Labubu or get the fuck out. You like the power puff girls, and found out that crybaby had a collab with them? I literally had to go to a Reseller Kawaii store in my Little China, and this one figurine cost me almost $20?!  do you like monchhichi?? I literally paid $60 for a fucking doll hand puppet that I didn’t even know was a hand puppet?!  It’s included in my picture in the back, I basically had to stop it with cotton to turn into a plushie. It gets ridiculous, and it pushes out the people who bought these things for themselves in to make them selves. Happy to make room for people who buy it to make others happy and jealous.

It has gotten so bad that people are selling premade shrink it keychain and basket and buckets?! Like they are trinkets that somebody buys and then makes them look older or more retro and sold them at almost triple the price it cost to even make it?? And people actually buy this shit?? People spend like $20 on a makeshift trinket keychain that is commercialized and that 20 people they know probably has instead of doing what trinketer like me have always done, make our own!! Trinkets have always been the art of personalizing the unpersonalizable!! Creating your own happiness from the small objects that you are own. Tick-tock has completely ruined that by making everything commercialized and more savory for the average clout demon trendhopper! It honestly makes me feel the future of my favorite series, and if they will be scouted by resellers in the future…. 

My phone is going to die, so I’m going to end this manifesto here. I actually love ranting on Tumblr because it’s so therapeutic it’s like my own blog! I feel like a 2000s blogger Xx

 Anyways, if you truly care about something that cost almost no money, please gatekeep. Hot girls might not get keep but ugly crow bitches do. Be the ugly crow bitch.
