Child Superhero Ensembles

Darren Tibbles Illustrates The Avengers as Playground-Sized Toddlers

— January 9, 2012 — Pop Culture
I’m sure many boys growing up have been guilty of dressing up in football equipment and pretending they’re superheroes, and Darren Tibbles takes that innocent role-playing activity and uses it as the concept of these rad illustrations. Seen here are his renditions of Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk and Thor as they would look if they were still the size of schoolyard toddlers. Despite their age, the kid avengers still look as though they’re capable of major butt-kicking.

Adding to the fun of these Darren Tibbles illustrations is the inventive ways he’s incorporated each superhero’s equipment into each image. The boy dressed as Iron Man is wearing sports padding as his armor, the child Captain America defends himself with a patriotically painted trash can lid and kid Thor has a wooden mallet and a dirty red blanket as a cape.
Trend Themes
1. Child Superhero Costumes - Opportunity for innovative costumes that allow children to dress up as superhero characters in a creative and age-appropriate way.
2. Playground-sized Toddler Illustrations - Potential for children's entertainment companies to create illustrations and products featuring popular superheroes depicted as adorable playground-sized toddlers.
3. Incorporating Superhero Equipment - Room for toy manufacturers to develop interactive toys that mimic the superhero equipment shown in the illustrations, providing children with a unique play experience.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Clothing and Costumes - Industry can explore the creation of child-sized superhero costumes that are both visually appealing and safe for play.
2. Entertainment and Publishing - Opportunity for companies to create children's books, animations, and merchandise based on the concept of toddler-sized superheroes.
3. Toy Manufacturing - Potential for toy companies to develop and market interactive toys inspired by the superhero equipment shown in the illustrations, capturing the imagination of young fans.
