Baby Three is the new "trend" that has taken the world by storm after the character Labubu.

Many celebrities also responded to this trend such as singer Erik, model Emily, beauty queen Thuy Tien or KOLs on social networks.
Singer Dong Nhi also bought her daughter a box of Baby Three blind bags. She shared that every time she opened the blind bag and saw the same items she already had, it gave her a feeling of excitement, making her want to buy more to find the exact design she liked.

In the market, young people are also hunting for "secret" models. Secret items are designed with colors and shapes that are different from normal blind bags (the basic set usually has 12 models). This is a very rare model, with a random chance of winning only about 0.52%.
