# Badass Robot Riot Police The new MAD Kidriot Robot Series Shows Battle-Ready Toy Robots By Jordan Sowunmi | Published 2011-06-01 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidriot-mascot References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/MADRIOT-Kidrobot-19/1489099?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [kidrobot](http://www.kidrobot.com/MAD.html) The newest addition to the venerable Kidrobot action figure series is the Kidriot Mascot #19, a strawberry-donut-eating, baton-wielding, shield-holding mini-robot with a maniacal grin on its face. The Kidriot Mascot #19 action figure was designed by Jeremy Madl, the Kansas City native behind MAD Toy Design. The action figure took a staggering three years to finish and -- to the surprise of both Madl and Kidrobot -- promptly sold out in four days. This kind of success is not entirely new to Jeremy Madl, whose client list includes companies like [Mattel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon), [Pepsi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/local-restaurant-activations), Scion, and the [NFL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/official-pizza-sponsor), among others. His work shows a comedic attention to detail and craftsmanship that illuminate the 13-year veteran's artistic skill. There are only 1,500 copies of the Kidriot Mascot #19, so if you're interested, lock yours down now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Battle-ready Toy Robots:** Developing more advanced and realistic toy robots designed for battle could provide a lucrative and expanding market opportunity. - **Artistic Attention to Detail:** Exploring the intersection between artistic craftsmanship and toy design could yield innovative and unique products for collectors and consumers alike. - **Limited Release Collectibles:** Creating limited edition collectibles with a sense of rarity and exclusivity could drive demand and sales within the toy industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can stay ahead by investing in new technology and materials to release more sophisticated and engaging products. - **Art and Design:** Integrating art and design into toys and collectibles can create truly unique and visually appealing products that stand out in a saturated market. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** Creating partnerships with video games, movies, and other entertainment media can expand the reach and appeal of toys to a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Vinyl Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-vinyl-figures.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) - [Hero-Inspired Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jada-toys.md) - [90s-Inspired Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-1.md) - [Cartoon Superhero Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crimson-hawk-ranger.md) - [Programmable Robot Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-robots.md) - [Collectible Pop Culture-Referencing Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon.md) - [Candy Collector Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy.md)
