The viral ‘monster’ dolls are so popular that Pop Mart, the Beijing-based company behind the craze, saw its profits soar by 350% in the first half of the year. The obsession with Labubu, furry creatures with pointy ears and exactly nine teeth, have inspired long lineups and occasional tussles in some countries as well as a growing black market for imposter products seeking to cash in. Labubu dolls, created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, first debuted in 2019 but hit global status more recently when they became the accessory toy of choice for celebrities including Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Blackpink’s Lisa.A key part of Pop Mart’s commercial success with Labubu is so-called ‘blind boxes’ where customers find out what they buy only when they open the package.

From action-packed or comedy-driven genre switch-ups to meta re-imaginings, these horror movie sequels successfully and smartly reinvented their scary source material.

Ridley Scott’s Alien is an unparalleled sci-fi horror masterpiece, so a good sequel was a very tall order. How could a follow-up possibly ever compare to the terrifying 1979 film? By switching up the genre, it turns out. James Cameron’s 1986 movie Aliens changes out the slow-burn, dread-inducing isolated terror of its somber predecessor for high-octane action, essentially trading chilling for thrilling. Both films are beloved in the franchise, with some fans preferring the original’s quiet, eerie, cosmic tone and others leaning into the second installment’s loud, guns-a-blazin’ energy — there’s space Marines, and they’ve got really big guns!—but it’s no doubt the latter opened a whole new universe of potential for the franchise.
