# Multimedia Plushies Cute Stuffed Toy Pumps Out the Tunes By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-17 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-plushies References: [newlaunches](http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/a_plush_ds_stand_which_includes_speakers.php) Speakers can often look rather uninteresting, which bothers me because they’re performing such an exciting task (everybody loves music…I don’t care who you are). Why not pump some life into your party while you pump your tunes with this plushy speaker? It’s a [cute teardrop-inspired design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini) that dons a bright smile and cheery motif. The plushy speakers run on 4 AA batteries for up to 70 hours of playback time and also feature a incognito [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-talking-flower) DS stand for comfortable gaming. I’m in a better mood already and it isn’t even playing anything. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multimedia Plushies:** Opportunity to create innovative and cute stuffed toys that also double as speakers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Speaker Industry:** Disruptive opportunity to create speakers that have a unique and appealing design, such as plushy speakers. - **Gaming Accessories Industry:** Opportunity to integrate speaker technology into gaming accessories, such as an incognito Nintendo DS stand with built-in speakers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Bear Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-color-block-400.md) - [Critter-Like Kid-Friendly Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-grejsimojs-mouse-speaker.md) - [Delightfully Playful Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anomalo.md) - [Bear-Themed Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinaro.md) - [Multifunctional Compact Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdisc.md) - [Comforting Pillow-Like Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oa-speaker.md) - [Engaging Musical Humanoid Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-robot-concept.md) - [Interactive Pixel Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-hugs.md) - [Music-Driven Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groove-thing.md)
