this happened with the beanydoll/beanybabies thingies too, and rexbend (teddy rexbend, i do not remember the name exactly), this also happened with plushy animal roll up things (the originals from the 90s), an a few board/card games... i would not be surprised if this happened again, but too many of these morons are doing the woke/sjw thing right now.
i vaguely remember some of this shit going on...
the insanity is real, this was not the only time this happened...

I remember this, also, an old man got trampled in California I believe when he tried to buy one for his granddaughter!
This is SO fucked....
"Oh Oh Oh - gotta have a cabbage patch doll.... Oh Oh Oh - panic buying..."
