The toys feature a [two-sided design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust) that displays the heroes as their iconic shelves and then also as anatomical skeletons. The figurines showcase a side of the heroes often not seen in comic books and films -- one that explores the mortality of their characters. The figurines showcase the core Justice League characters such as [Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection) as four inch plastic dolls with half of their body rendered as a skeleton. While one side of the doll showcases the hero in costume, the other shows their organs and bone mass for an added unconventional perspective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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's Driving This Trend - **Anatomical Design:** The trend of showcasing anatomical designs in toys creates unique and thought-provoking perspectives on familiar characters. - **Disruptive Collectibles:** The rise of unconventional collectible figurines disrupts traditional ideas of what is considered valuable and desirable in the industry. - **Exploring Character Depth:** The trend of representing beloved characters in a more vulnerable and introspective light opens up opportunities for storytelling and character development. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can explore the trend of anatomical design to create unique and collectible toys that appeal to a niche market of collectors and enthusiasts. - **Comic Book Merchandise:** Companies in the comic book merchandise industry can tap into the trend of disruptive collectibles to offer fans unconventional and exclusive items that stand out from traditional merchandise. - **Art and Design:** The trend of exploring character depth through anatomical designs presents opportunities for artists and designers to create thought-provoking artworks and sculptures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Hyper-Detailed Superhero Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-the-flash-batman-and-batcycle.md) - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Collectible Pop Culture-Referencing Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon.md) - [Superhero-Themed Retail Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcfarlane-toys-1.md) - [Superhero Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-dc-and-funko.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md)
