You either love 'em or hate 'em, but the Labubu craze is still going strong in Singapore.
Now, local claw machine operators have entered the game, offering blind boxes of the popular Pop Mart character for players to try their hand at snagging one.
In the span of half an hour, avid fan Lu Tianfu (transliteration) was spotted catching three of such blind boxes at an arcade in Jurong Point on Wednesday (Oct 23).
The 41-year-old architectural consultant told Shin Min Daily News he plays the Labubu claw machines to destress.
"Work is very stressful, so I will visit different arcades in the west almost every day. Now, I sell all that I catch."
Lu added that he has over 60 Labubu blind boxes as well as larger figures purchased online in his collection. He has splashed out over $10,000 on the dolls in one month, according to the Chinese evening daily.
