# Alien-Faced Cartoon Collectibles This Facehugger Figurine References a 'Rick and Morty' Episode By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-04-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facehugger-figurine References: [thinkgeek](https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/kphg/) ThinkGeek recently unveiled a new Funko POP! Facehugger figurine. The figurine references a 'Rick and Morty' episode that shows Rick stuck with a small alien on his face, which he has to peel off by making his blood toxic. Official Rick and Morty merchandise, the Facehugger figurine shows the mad scientist with a blown up head, which features the creepy-looking alien creature latched onto it. This leaves the figurine's entire face covered, with the character's pointed blue hair sticking out over it. The Funko POP! Facehugger figurine is currently available online and in-stores of participating GameStop retailers, selling for just $10 USD. The vinyl toy makes a great gift for collectors and Rick and Morty fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop-culture Collectibles:** Market opportunities for unique and limited edition collectibles inspired by popular TV shows and movies. - **Nostalgia Merchandise:** Creating merchandise that taps into nostalgia for beloved media franchises to attract dedicated fan bases. - **Crossover Collaborations:** Opportunities for collaborations between different entertainment properties to create unique and highly sought-after collectibles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy and Collectibles:** Innovative toy manufacturers can capitalize on the growing demand for pop-culture collectibles. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Companies specializing in licensed merchandise can expand their offerings to include nostalgia-driven products. - **Online Retail:** E-commerce platforms can cater to the growing fan collectibles market by providing a wide selection of limited edition merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Themed Miniature Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-boba-fett-1.md) - [TV Show-Inspired Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stickymonger.md) - [Collaborative Cookie-Themed Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-funko-pop.md) - [Restaurant Mascot-Themed Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-mascot.md) - [Pop Culture Vinyl Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berbrick-vecna.md) - [TV Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandai-namco.md) - [Giftable Customized Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself-funko.md) - [Collectible Sci-Fi Sequel Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-part-two-funko-pops.md) - [RPG-Inspired Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baldurs-gate-iii-1.md)
