This collection of models is based off of several different types of birds that are found in Britain. Pantera even went so far as to give each of the six British birds their own name, helping those who aren't familiar with the [Avian fauna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domik-ptashki) the opportunity to learn something new. What I originally thought was a Blue Jay turns out to be Kingsley the Kingfisher and now I know how to recognize a Blue Tit thanks to Billy, DeTomaso Pantera's sculpture of the aforementioned bird. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **LEGO Renovation:** Using LEGO bricks to transform ordinary objects into visually pleasing sculptures. - **Anatomically Accurate Sculpture:** Creating anatomically accurate sculptures using unconventional materials like LEGO bricks. - **Educational Animal Sculpture:** Using sculptures of animals to educate people on different types of fauna and taxonomy. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can create anatomically accurate and visually appealing toys using unconventional materials like LEGO. - **Museum and Exhibition:** Using anatomically accurate sculptures of animals made from unconventional materials such as LEGO bricks for educational exhibitions in museums and galleries. - **Teaching and Education:** Using sculptures of animals as fun and engaging ways to educate and teach people about different types of fauna and taxonomy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Bird Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-birds.md) - [Size-Scaled Block Puzzle Retiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legotruman.md) - [Historic Bird-Like Contraption Recreations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-machine-set.md) - [Nature-Inspired Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-natural-wonders-of-the-world.md) - [Life-Sized Puzzled Insect Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Show-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pingu-set.md) - [Educational Linoleum Birdhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elvi-birdhouse.md) - [Brick-Based Aviation Jet Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockheed-sr71-blackbird.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md)
