Lufsig

In December 2013, the toy became a symbol of opposition to the Hong Kong government, after an incident during a town hall event where a Lufsig was thrown by a protester at Leung Chun-ying, the Chief Executive, who had been nicknamed "the wolf" by his critics.

Following the incident, Lufsig experienced a surge in popularity, selling out at IKEA stores in Hong Kong, as well as in several outlets in mainland China.

In China, buyers flipped Lufsig dolls for a quick profit, with some Taobao sellers selling the toy for CN¥ 188, up from the official price of CN¥ 59 in Chinese IKEA stores.
