In the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), there's a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box(盲盒) toys are bringing the new magic of surprise to people.
Blind boxes have become popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. A blind box toy is hidden inside the same box. You don't know what will be inside. The toys mainly come from pop culture, such as films, comics and cartoons. According to a Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box was sold 55,000 in just 9 seconds during the Double Eleventh shopping festival. Most buyers of blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
Blind box toys are popular partly because of their cute looks. The cute cartoon dolls come in small sizes, making them easy to display(展示) almost anywhere. Even if blind boxes are not people's top choice for decorations, the surprise of opening a blind box also attracts people. It's the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. When people open this little box, they may be disappointed(失望的), but the surprise is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.
When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box. You won't know what's inside before you open it.”
