In this day and age, there are three constant concepts in life: Death, Taxes, and some random little thing that seems to catch the internet by storm. For the past year and a half, that little thing is a small figure known as a Sonny Angel. Many of us at GUNNZO are still somewhat perplexed by the popularity of these little dolls, So I will delve into why these things are incredibly popular because every time I sell one of these, I always ask the same titular question, “Why are they Popular?”
I think it’s obvious to many as to why Sonny Angels are as popular as ever: They’re cute. I somewhat believe that is the main reason why they’re so popular, but only to an extent. Afterall, It’s not every day that I get over 15 calls a day for the same product. I think that one of the biggest factors in the popularity of Sonny Angels is the blind box itself. We love to pull for stuff with the chance of getting what we want. I’m no different, I play gacha games and my friends collect cards for the same reasons. We all want that little burst of joy as we open the box or rip open a pack of cards. That’s why I think Sonny Angels are popular, not just because of the “Cuteness Factor,” but because we just want that feeling of getting something new in our lives.
Until next time, my fella reader.
