Colbert isn't the only late-night host to get a LEGO statue in his image, Sawaya has also done a piece that resembles Stephen Colbert. The LEGO Conan O'Brien strikes a power pose wearing a LEGO suit, blue collared shirt and red tie. Standing at over six feet tall, this toy structure is so much cooler than any LEGO construct I've ever seen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia ## 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 - **Life-sized LEGO Statues:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the market potential of creating life-sized LEGO statues for various pop culture icons and celebrities. - **LEGO Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new ways to use LEGO bricks as a medium for creating unique and visually stunning art pieces. - **LEGO Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster partnerships between LEGO and influential figures to create custom LEGO statues that resonate with fans and collectors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate LEGO-based life-sized statues into the toy manufacturing industry, providing new and engaging products for consumers. - **Art and Sculpture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge the worlds of art and sculpture with LEGO to create captivating and interactive art installations that appeal to a wide audience. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the demand for unique and collectible merchandise by producing licensed LEGO statues of popular entertainment personalities and characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Inspired Toy Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-atari-2600.md) - [Monster-Honoring Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-lego.md) - [Life-Size LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/McLaren-Formula-1-Car.md) - [Sitcom Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-the-office.md) - [30-Foot Tall Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megasize-roxie.md) - [Art Sculpture Miniature Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-replica.md) - [Impressive Life-Size LEGO Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesize-lego-technic-mclaren-p1.md) - [Droid-Inspired Building Block Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-c3po.md) - [Life-Size LEGO Brick Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1950s-cadillac-fleetwood.md)
