# Sci-Fi Felted Dolls Liberty Kraftz Shrinks Down Star Wars Characters to an Adorable Size By Matt Ho | Published 2011-10-03 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-kraftz References: [hungeree](http://hungeree.com/?p=1519) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/libertykraftz?ref=top_trail) If [Star Wars characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars) -- villains or heroes -- needed to look cuter, then they would be in the form of Liberty Kraftz's dolls. With the exception of the majority of most characters, cute and small isn't usually what you'd say to describe most individuals in the Star Wars world. [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) seller Jamie Kratz-Gullickson aka Liberty Kraftz has created a series of [needle felted versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good) of George Lucas' characters that shrinks them down to an adorable size. Who's in the collection? So far, there's Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader and more. It's pretty awesome how Kratz-Gullickson has managed to make Chewbacca look like a puppy as opposed to the seven foot hairy Wookie that he is. Hopefully, she'll start designing more featuring the likes of Darth Maul or Bobba Fett. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Felted Dolls:** Exploring the market potential for cute and small needle felted versions of popular characters. - **Star Wars Merchandise:** Capitalizing on the Star Wars fan base by creating unique and adorable collectibles. - **Character Shrinkage:** Creating demand for miniature versions of iconic characters through needle felting. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Handicrafts:** Expanding the market for unique and handmade doll creations through needle felting. - **Toy and Collectibles:** Offering a new range of adorable collectibles targeting Star Wars enthusiasts. - **Fan Art:** Exploring the potential of creating miniature versions of popular characters for passionate fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Miniature Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-boba-fett-1.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkbox-doughnuts-star-wars-day.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars.md) - [Plastic Sci-Fi Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artfx-boba-fett.md) - [Sci-Fi Series-Themed Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-3.md)
