ওভার ওভার, লাবুস: লোকেরা 10,000 এর বেশি দিতে ইচ্ছুক। এই fluffy খেলনা জন্য ডলার
Check your kids’ rooms – their old Jellycats could be worth a fortune. This year, the Labubu phenomenon has thrust into the spotlight – and the discernment of many parents trying to acquire one – worldwide. However, there’s another range of fluffy toys that likely has a much larger cult following, resulting in collectors paying crazy money to get their hands on rare editions. Jellycat is taking over. We are talking about Jellycat, a range of plush toys founded in London in 1999 by brothers William and Thomas Gatacre. According to reports, there is another range of fluffy toys that likely has a much larger cult following than the Labubus. Getty Images. The name “Jellycat” came from son Thomas, who loved both jellies and cats, and since launching the first collection, the brand has released everything from the iconic Bashful Bunny design (famously owned by kids like Suri Cruise and Harper Beckham wearing it like it’s kids) to the non-ordinary offerings of Bartholomew and Beasor. The rise of “kidulting” on TikTok (anyone over the age of 12 buying toys and generally enjoying activities typically for young children) has fuelled Jellycat’s popularity in these uncertain times, and now some coveted plush characters are selling for the same price as a brand-new car. And no, the toys don’t have artificial intelligence and won’t put your child to sleep. They are plush toys. End. Jellycat is a plush toy company founded in London in 1999 by brothers William and Thomas Gatacre eBay / @lm-csp How much are they costing? Don’t believe us? At the time of publication, a brand new Bashful Blackberry Bunny was priced at $13,383 (AUD 20,465) on eBay. The UK-based seller claims the “collector’s item” was gifted exclusively to Jellycat staff to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary in 2019. Oh, and they are charging the buyer a mere $650 (AUD $1,000) for postage. Perhaps it needs a plane ticket for something so valuable? The UK-based seller says the “collector’s item” – Bashful Blackberry Bunny – was gifted exclusively to Jellycat staff in 2019 to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. eBay / @lm-csp At the time of publication, the price on eBay for a Bashful Blackberry Rabbit was $13,383 eBay / @lm-csp Compared to a bargain price, another seller on eBay is wanting $3,772 (AU$5,800) for three used Buttercups, another similar rabbit. It’s not just a few random collectors flogging their stuff to the highest bidder. At the time of publication, we counted no less than 46 Jellycats on eBay available to buy for over $650 (AUD $1,000). There are hundreds more priced over $65 (AU$100). For comparison, a standard Jellycat Bashful Bunny costs around $60 online. It’s also happening here! If you think Facebook Marketplace is immune to this craze, think again. One ad in Sydney is selling a retired whale design for $600. It’s used, but they have washed it. Which makes it that much more appealing, right? Another seller on eBay is wanting $3,772 (AU$5,800) for three used Buttercup rabbits (like the one above). eBay / @fluffybunny888 Emily the Bashful Bunny also sells for thousands of dollars on eBay. eBay / @fluffybunny888 Australian fandom is more extensive than you might imagine, and there are many Jellycat collector groups on Facebook – one of which has over 10,000 members. We have to give credit where it’s due – these fluffy creatures are adorable, and the nostalgia and comfort they bring their owners, regardless of age, is priceless. However, whether these collectibles will stand the test of time (and value) for those daring enough to invest in them is anyone’s guess.
