Illustrator and artist Jordan Speer has created a series of pictures of [fictional action figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawkins-town-action-figures).

The art pieces are colorful and have a retro feel. The wildly amazing creations he thought up are individually packaged. They come with an array of descriptions, bar codes and different features to make them appear as authentic to real-life toys as possible. [Creepy and playful ones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) include Speer's 'Tiny & Holy Terrors' and the 'Secret Bone Bro' that come with eerie accessories like [interchangeable heads and body parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing). The collection of action figure toy illustrations are quirky and bizarre like the one package that comes with just a set of legs.

Artist Jordan Speer is having fun with his work and experimenting with unconventional representation of fictional characters and toys.
