# Toy Fetuses The Oop Series by Coarse Introduces Two Embryonic Creatures in Vinyl Form By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-03-13 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oop-series-by-coarse References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/07/congrats-on-your-new-embryos) & [coarselife](http://www.coarselife.com/) The OOP Series By Coarse features two toys depicting figures in an embryonic state. The name Oop comes from the specific stage that the [vinyl toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-art-toys) are meant to resemble: Oocyte Phase. The [baby figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-real-baby) in the OOP Series By Coarse are 7-inch replicas of two life-sized sculptures that were on display in 2010 during a Coarse solo exhibit titled Glimpse of Truth. The embryo toys come in white and blush -- soothing, innocent-infant colors. Each pair comes with signed birth certificates as if you’re actually receiving two young'ns. The OOP Series By Coarse went on sale on March 8. Only 200 of these [collectible pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva) will be released -- will you be picking up a pair of the unborn vinyl figures? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 39% | 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) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collectible Vinyl Embryos:** Collectible vinyl embryos as a new sub-genre of collectibles with a focus on miniature figurines in embryonic state. - **Limited Release Collectibles:** Limited release collectibles as a growing trend amidst collectors and toy enthusiasts. - **Hyperrealistic Collectibles:** A trend towards hyperrealistic collectibles that portrays the advanced modern sculpting technology and 3D printing advancements available within the toy market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing Industry:** The Toy manufacturing industry can utilize the trend of collectible vinyl embryos to create and capitalize on niche markets. - **Art Industry:** Art galleries and retailers can expand into the collectibles market as consumers show continued interest in owning rare art objects. - **3D Printing Industry:** The 3D printing industry can offer more consumers access to hyperrealistic and limited edition collectibles using advanced printing technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Artist-Designed Toy Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-toy-series.md) - [Miniature Vinyl Toy Collectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokies.md) - [Collaborative Cookie-Themed Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-funko-pop.md) - [Emotional Support Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotional-support-plushies.md) - [Inflated-Illusion Ceramic Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-up.md) - [Miniature Vinyl Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsmol.md) - [Designer Blind Box Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top.md)
