The Medicom Toy x Happy Socks Bearbrick brings the world of designer figures and eccentric socks together, so you’re basically getting two different items in one. The latest figure shows off the Bearbrick in complete hipster attire. Then there’s the flashy multicolored pair of socks that looks like something Tyler the Creator of Odd Future would wear on stage. Of course, since this is a collaboration, both items have the same flashy color scheme and the transition actually works really well. With the image of the Medicom Toy x Happy Socks Bearbrick finally revealed, fans have gotten a taste of what they’ve been waiting for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Designer Toy Collaboration:** Opportunity to create unique collaborations between designer toy brands and fashion brands. - **Multifunctional Products:** Opportunity to combine different products into one, offering consumers multiple functionalities in a single item. - **Eccentric Fashion:** Opportunity to cater to the growing market of consumers who embrace unconventional and eccentric fashion styles. ### Where This Applies - **Designer Toys:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the designer toy industry through collaborations with fashion brands. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion accessories industry by creating multi-functional accessories. - **Streetwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the streetwear industry to cater to the demand for eccentric fashion styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Denim-Themed Luxury Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6.md) - [Blazer-Adorned Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blazeradorned-bear-figure.md) - [Patchwork Denim Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-denim-berbrick.md) - [London-Inspired Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-1.md) - [Runway Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takahiromiyashitathesoloist.md) - [Streetwear-Themed Aroma Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-aroma-ornaments.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md) - [Pop Culture Vinyl Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berbrick-vecna.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md)
