So did they actually lose 13 billion dollars, or was the "valuation" of inventory that they actually had far less money in? I hate it when people claim money was "lost" that never existed in the first place.

Probably. They're so desperate to look like a world super power that they have just been outright lying about shit. Does anyone actually believe that Ne Zha was actually popular? Only reason I even heard of it was because it was apparently the #1 selling animated film of all time. Same with Labubus. I legit don't know a single person in real life that cares about that shit yet apparently it's the hottest thing since Winnie the Pooh. I don't buy it. We really need to start holding Ch8na accountable for their lies. Especially the extremely petty ones like lying about box office numbers. Embarrassing.

Isn't this 13 billion down from the roughly 50 billion market cap they hit last I heard? No doubt it'll continue to drop, but that's still quite a lot.

The bubble burst,
Only difference here is that the bubble burst way waaaay faster than normal due to scalpers and dealers grabbing up everything and ,massively overpricing everything to the point where no one else but another dealer was ever going to buy their shit.

I wish reporting about trends like this would start IDing this shit earlier. Labubu was reported on the same way as Stanley cups, with all the blame placed on "psycho fans" that must have the newest hot collectible thing. But it's become obvious that the people rushing stores and throwing cases and cases of shit into carts are resellers. The ugly behavior starts with them and then any regular fans who try to compete with them end up looking bad too. For sure there are cases of regular fans acting like this over something hard to get but lately it's been resellers pushing things to 100 at in person events/sales and regular fans just trying to keep up and avoid having to pay an inflated price for the thing from the guy ahead of them in line.

Like with all the insane fandoms that are talked about, the ones the general public see snatching up armloads of collectable figures, Magic cards, and pokemon is the sweaty fat creepy looking guy that falls right into the old fashioned dork stereotype. So people see weird nerd shoving little kids over to grab the pokemon cards out of their hands and running off with them at Target do not really see that they are dealers looking to stick that pack on ebay for resale. They just see some nerd snatching up everything like a psycho.

There were a LOT of normies in Labubu fandom, every sighting I had in the wild was on a hot girl's bag. Pokemon cards, you're right, but not every big trend that hits the news cycle is like that. The Labubu resellers were really obvious compared to the normal fans when you watched the crowd control videos.

Ne Zha is really popular in China. Rest of the world though couldn't give less a shit. Transformers started to struggle in China, so they had to partner with Ne Zha to get a boost.

Just goes to show that Chinese have a huge population, and lots of money to the point they don't need their movies to succeed overseas.

Exactly. If shit like Anpanman can be a $60 billion franchise rivaling Star Wars with JUST Japan alone generating all that revenue then Ne Zha easily can be even bigger in China, a country that has 11 times of Japan's population backed by a younger average demographic than Japan's aging population dominated by old people who don't spend money on IPs like these.

I absolutely hate mongoliods who think an overvalued market cap going down in value is the same as “losing money”. It implies lack of profitability or losses. Financially retarded.

Not really, actually losing a real $10 billion would kill the company, this is like the difference between your house losing 10k in value, and losing 10k from your bank account. It matters for shareholders who bought at the higher valuation but that valuation was obviously inflated from viral labubu hype. Popmart’s cash balance has been growing bigly in recent quarters.

A good mall has pricey stuff for people with me, last Christmas my brother was looking for a jacket he could wear to his wedding and I found myself in a mall store (this being December 23rd in one of the largest malls in the United States) with $500 shirts. Who can afford $500 shirts in this economy?
