Fans of canceled TV series Arrested Development can relive their favorite TV show through these Kyle Hilton paper dolls, but it's not just Arrested Development that gets the illustrated dress-up treatment. Parks and Recreation, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Breaking Bad, Party Down, Tim and Eric and The Office all have paper dolls crafted for them as well.

I love that Kyle Hilton includes [memorable accessories for each character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-collectibles) that hearkens back to each respective series' best episodes. The great thing about this illustrated collection is that you can actually print them all out and they all function like actual paper dolls. Can't wait to get my hands on the Ron Swanson and April Ludgate pieces!

**Implications** - Consumers enjoy crafting products based on [popular TV franchises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobs-burgers-set) in order to demonstrate their fan appreciation.
