Having collaborated with Bape, it was only a matter of time before Stussy made its way towards a collaboration with Medicom. But instead of branding the brand's name onto the figure, the design takes a sci-fi inspired route. The Medicom Toy x Stussy Stormtrooper pays tribute to the soldiers of the Imperial Army from Star Wars. These iconic figures have been revamped [Bearbrick style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seventeen-berbrick), with complete details of the mask and uniform. In addition to the toy, there will also be a t-shirt that says "I Have A Bad Feeling About This" that was also created from the collaboration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sci-fi Soldier Figurines:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and collectible sci-fi inspired figurines for fans of popular franchises. - **Collaborative Toy Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with different brands to create limited edition and exclusive toy designs. - **Revamped Bearbrick Style:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redesigning traditional Bearbrick figures with new themes and inspiration. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating popular franchises and unique designs into the manufacturing of new toys. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating fashion items such as t-shirts that incorporate iconic characters and themes from popular cultures. - **Collectibles and Memorabilia:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding the market for collectible items by introducing limited edition figurines and merchandise in collaboration with different brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chrome-Colored Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-1.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Cartoon Franchise Collab Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-transformers-1.md) - [Runway Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takahiromiyashitathesoloist.md) - [Monochromatic Mascot-Themed Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-3.md) - [Plastic Sci-Fi Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artfx-boba-fett.md) - [Space-Themed Marbled Bear Figurine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-1.md) - [Patchwork Denim Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-denim-berbrick.md) - [Denim-Themed Luxury Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6.md)
