According to the Laughing Squid, Grove, who is a part of the team at Sideshow Collectibles, gave Vince Gilligan the creator of the AMC show, the Breaking Bad figurines as a gift. Grove designed and produced many different versions of the main character Walter White, all of which are his most iconic looks from the show. He created a version of the season 1 Walter White when he still has hair, dressed only in his underwear and a green dress shirt; Walter's alter ego Heisenberg, dressed in his black coat, green plaid shirt, khakis and the iconic black hat, and finally, his meth lab look, dressed in his yellow lab jump suit. This is an awesome series that any fan of the show would certainly enjoy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **TV Show-inspired Figurines:** There is an opportunity for artists and companies to create figurines based on popular TV shows and movies. - **Collector's Items:** Figurines such as these represent opportunities to create collectible items that enthusiasts will be keen to get a hold of. - **Pop Culture Merchandise:** There is potential to create merchandise that appeals to fans of TV shows and movies. ### Where This Applies - **Collectibles Industry:** This industry could capitalize on the creation of collectible figurines like the Breaking Bad series. - **Pop Culture Industry:** The creation of pop culture merchandise could open up opportunities in this industry. - **Crafts and Arts Industry:** Artists could develop figurines or other crafts based on popular TV shows and movies which could be sold or taken up for commission. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sitcom-Inspired Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-people-collector-set.md) - [TV Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandai-namco.md) - [Collectible Streaming Series Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funko-pop-squid-game.md) - [Wholesome Kingpin Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorners-super-bowl.md) - [Show-Inspired Collectible Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-collectibles.md) - [Hyperrealistic Musician Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitzway-kurt-cobain-figurine.md) - [Show-Themed Desk Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawkins-town-action-figures.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Miniature Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-boba-fett-1.md)
