Maybe they were for resale: Man spends all family savings on Chinese dolls and gets divorced

House with no space.- A woman divorced her husband after discovering that he had spent all the family savings on Japanese dolls, and well, let's see if she can at least recoup some of the money by reselling them.

These are the Labubu figures, created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and marketed by Pop Mart , which have generated a real obsession among collectors and people with little sexual activity.

The dolls are tiny monsters with pointy ears, sharp teeth, and mischievous grins, sold at exorbitant prices due to their limited production. This artificial scarcity only leads to a resale rush and a severe price hike, as is often the case with anything labeled "special edition."

The problem began when the man, over the course of several years, began buying these "monkeys," directly affecting the family's finances and also the flow of people in the room, which was already resembling an anime warehouse.

According to the plaintiff, “my husband dedicated time and resources to his collection of the famous Labubu Chinese characters, instead of looking for another source of income or, at the very least, sweeping.”

Local judicial authorities are already processing the divorce petition, which will likely proceed since the items involved aren't The Simpsons figures, amiibos, or Jordan sneakers—items that could have been tolerated with some resignation.

For now, the man claims he'll get his money back as soon as "the price goes up on eBay" and that he has the ultra-rare edition of Labubu dressed as a gas station attendant, although so far all he's won is a restraining order and custody of the 127 monkeys.
