# Hybrid Toys Sang Won Sung Mutant X By jelalyn | Published 2007-10-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-toys-sang-won-sung-mutant-x References: [lifelounge](http://www.lifelounge.com/Bring-on-the-Hybrids.aspx) & [sang.br](http://www.sang.com.br/) Brazil-based artist Sang Won Sung may have been inspired by Toy Story when he designed these weird, yet interesting mutant toys. The Korean-born contemporary artist plucked out parts from various toys and dolls to create a fantastic set of abstract looking hybrid toys. One of his works include a television set with a face of a baby doll poking from the inside while the legs of a Barbie doll is attached on top to imitate an antennae. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Toy Remixing:** Incorporating creative combinations of toys to produce unique and different products with existing parts. - **Sustainability in Toys:** Repurposing of old toys to create new products with a lower carbon footprint. - **Pop Culture Toys:** Creating original characters that cater to pop culture trends using recycled toys or recycled toy parts. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Enable consumers to be more involved in the creative process to increase satisfaction,brand visibility, and loyalty. - **Sustainable Materials Manufacturing:** Create sustainable toys using recycled or biodegradable materials that are more environmentally friendly and capture children's attention and interest. - **Art and Collectors' Items:** Tap into an increase in interest in quirky and eccentric artistic creations depicting popular culture memes and ideas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md) - [Collectable Sculptural Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll.md) - [Creepy Severed Hand Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing.md)
