The watch model comes as a hyper-detailed take on the recognizable timepiece and boasts a semi-functional design with spinning needles that rotate via a bolt on the rear. The model comes with two sets of bands to give the unit the capacity to bend and function much in the same way as the original. The LEGO G-SHOCK Mudmaster maintains a very complex build that is presently sitting at just over 1,700 votes on the LEGO IDEAS website, as the time of publication. The kit would be considered for retail production if it makes it to the 10,000 vote mark. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Building Block Timepieces:** Opportunity for designers to create building block-inspired timepieces that cater to the collector's market. - **Semi-functional Designs:** Disruptive opportunity for brands to create semi-functional watch designs that incorporate give flexibility to their wearers. - **Crowdsourced Design Kits:** Opportunity for businesses to capitalize on crowd-sourced design kits that promote user engagement and product validation. ### Where This Applies - **Toy:** Toy industry can explore the potential of combining building blocks and collectible/timepiece design for a new market segment. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore flexible and adaptable watch designs that match with their various style preferences. - **Crowdsourcing:** Crowdsourcing industry can harness the power of user-generated content to design and manufacture crowdsourced design kits that cater to a niche market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LEGO-Inspired Hourglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-hourglass.md) - [Prismatic Classic Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-rainbow-brick-wall.md) - [Rugged Rally Racing Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gw9500tlc1-mudman-land-cruiser.md) - [Rugged Swordsmith-Designed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-mrgb2000js.md) - [Retro Calculator-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gw6900nasa241.md) - [Aggressive Frog-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-master-of-g-frogman-gw8200tpf1.md) - [Durable High-End Frog-Inspired Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goliath-frogman.md) - [Graphic Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-little-thunder.md) - [Alien-Like Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gav01-series.md)
