Why Everyone Is Copying Labubu Right Now

Buckle up — because this week the watch world tried to do what the toy world has been doing for years.

The AP x Swatch Royal Pop launch caused overnight queues, reseller chaos, and “is this the new Labubu?” headlines across the internet.

And honestly?
The comparison itself says a lot about where collecting culture sits right now.

This week on Calmly Caught Up:
• AP x Swatch Royal Pop launch chaos
• Why everyone is suddenly comparing things to Labubu
• Pop Mart’s huge Friday UK release day
• Dear Birds arriving in stores
• MCM London Comic Con exclusives
• Hirono Behind Time
• LABUBU on a PSG football kit
• LEGO Minas Tirith + Disney Main Street
• Pop Mart US expansion
• ComplexCon LA confirmed
• Dimoo, Molly, Nommi, Pokémon, Zara and more

This channel started as a tiny corner of the internet to talk about collecting culture thoughtfully, and I genuinely don’t take any of this for granted.

Comment below:
Do you think the wider world is actually copying Pop Mart’s drop mechanics now — or are collectors just more visible than ever?

And which story this week genuinely made you stop scrolling?
