Not too long ago CLOT and Medicom Toy released a three-eyed mickey Bearbrick figure in time for the Christmas Holiday. But knowing the latter, the brand is going to keep churning out new releases for [avid toy collectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seventeen-berbrick). This time around, the CLOT Handshake x Medicom Toy Bearbrick draws its design inspiration from fruits. One figure is modeled after a pineapple and the other a melon. The toys are donned in patterns and colors of its respective fruit, giving it a fresh, vibrant look. What's surprising is the addition of eyes, which isn't a feature that Medicom Toy is really known for putting on the [Bearbrick figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berbrick-vecna). The two figures will be available in [100% and 400% sizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-color-block-400). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fruit-inspired Collectibles:** Creating Bearbricks or other collectibles inspired by different fruits can be a new trend for toy manufacturers and collaborations. - **Unconventional Toy Features:** Exploring unconventional features on traditional collectible toys opens up opportunities for unique product designs and branding collaborations. - **Vibrant Toy Designs:** Designing toys with bright, colorful and unique patterns can attract the attention of toy collectors and enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy companies and manufacturers can capitalize on creating unique and innovative collectibles to attract new audiences and sustain interest in their products. - **Collaborations:** Partnering with other brands or artists can create opportunities for mutually beneficial collaborations that appeal to niche audiences and potentially increase revenue streams. - **Branding and Merchandising:** Branding and merchandising opportunities can arise from developing unique, limited edition collectibles that generate interest and attention in pop culture and certain product categories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Watermarked Jade Bear Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jade-berbrick.md) - [London-Inspired Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-1.md) - [Patchwork Denim Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-denim-berbrick.md) - [Blazer-Adorned Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blazeradorned-bear-figure.md) - [70s-Themed Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corduroy-bearbrick.md) - [Streetwear-Themed Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-aroma-ornaments.md) - [Denim-Themed Luxury Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6.md) - [Runway Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takahiromiyashitathesoloist.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md)
