Goldie is a doll that's more about taking action than sitting on a shelf and looking pretty. Goldie wears a pair of practical purple overalls and a pair of sneakers, so that she can freely move her articulated hands, shoulders, hips and knees. The GoldieBlox Zipline Action Figure comes with a guide on how to put together a 13' zipline, so that Goldie can start breaking in some of the tools she comes with, like a mini wrench. Physically, the doll is designed to promote a [positive body image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autistic-barbie) and in terms of personality, you can see that Goldie has a determined smirk on her face, ready to tackle challenges without being afraid of mistakes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stem-inspired Dolls:** Opportunity for toy manufacturers to create more dolls that encourage young girls to explore STEM and inspire creativity in their personal projects. - **Articulated Action Figures:** Opportunity for toy companies to create a new line of poseable and articulated action figures for young children to play and learn from. - **Female Empowerment Toy:** Opportunity for companies to create empowering dolls that promote strong women role models for young girls. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Industry:** Toy manufacturers can capitalize on creating dolls and action figures that promote creativity, empowerment, and STEM learning for children. - **Education Industry:** Educational companies can use toys such as GoldieBox to encourage creativity and promote STEM education for young children. - **Media and Entertainment Industry:** The promotion of strong female characters in media and entertainment can inspire toy manufacturers to create dolls and toys that reinforce this positive messaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Sided Paper Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megadolls.md) - [Creative STEM-Based Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jitterygit.md) - [Diverse Hand-Knit Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-knit-dolls.md) - [DIY-Inspired Doll Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-highs.md) - [Emotional Well-Being Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartfuls.md) - [Metaverse Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-avastars.md) - [Gender-Neutral Stroller Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotron.md) - [Timber Tech-Packed Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-wooden-dolls.md) - [Inspiring Role Model Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-role-models.md)
