The toys come in two styles -- [action figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-2) and kubrick -- and are set to be released April 2011. Daft Punk did the whole soundtrack for the new TRON film in addition to making a cameo appearance. I've never been a huge fan of the [kubrick toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-x-berbrick), but I love what Daft Punk & Medicom have done here. The wait for the new TRON film and all of its accompanying merchandise just became unbearable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electronica Action Figures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with popular musicians and toy manufacturers to create action figures inspired by electronic music culture. - **TRON: Legacy Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique merchandise collaborations with upcoming movie releases, targeting fans and collectors. - **Musician-inspired Toys:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create toys and collectibles based on musicians and their iconic aesthetics to appeal to both fans and toy collectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate musicians' brand image into various merchandise collaborations, expanding revenue streams beyond album sales and concerts. - **Film:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the release of highly anticipated movies by partnering with toy manufacturers to produce exclusive collectibles and merchandise. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore partnerships with musicians and entertainment properties to create unique action figures and collectibles that appeal to niche markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block Musician Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-lego-helmets.md) - [Honorary Digital Musician Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-x-pleasures-dw5600pdp1.md) - [Music-Focused Game Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-1.md) - [Hero-Inspired Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jada-toys.md) - [Chrome-Colored Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-1.md) - [Cartoon Franchise Collab Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-transformers-1.md) - [Collectible Sci-Fi Sequel Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-part-two-funko-pops.md) - [Patchwork Denim Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-denim-berbrick.md) - [Toy-Themed Film Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funko-pop-movies-barbie.md)
