Each of these [miniature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-chucky) Pac Man Bots are hand-carved and sanded down from reclaimed northern Minnesota Douglas-fir. Therefore, not only are you getting an iconic pop-cultural figure, but you're also getting something that's environmentally friendly. There are three figures in total with two ghosts and of course, [Pac-Man himself](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacmans-45th). Their exteriors are all one color, but Dohman has painted the eyes and mouths of these pieces with different colors for a bit of personality. The Pac Man Bots are currently available for sale at William Dohman's page. Custom colors can be requested if you want your very own unique bot that's different from all others. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Gaming Toys:** The trend of creating retro gaming toys made from eco-friendly materials. - **Hand-carved Figurines:** The trend of creating hand-carved figurines using reclaimed wood. - **Custom Painted Characters:** The trend of creating custom painted characters for collectible figurines. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can use eco-friendly materials to produce retro gaming toys and collectible figurines. - **Woodworking:** Professional woodworkers can create unique and hand-carved figurines from reclaimed wood. - **Collectible Merchandise:** Custom paint jobs on existing licensed characters can lead to the growth of a new sector of the collectible merchandise industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video Game Crochet Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woobles-pacman-crochet-kit.md) - [Arcade Game Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacman-arcade.md) - [Pixelated Gamer Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light.md) - [Robotic Handheld Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-bot.md) - [Pillow-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade1up-pacman-couchcade.md) - [Dedicated Desktop Character Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacman-microphone.md) - [Retro Video Game Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-x-pacman.md) - [Gamified Cookie Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-pacman.md) - [Nostalgic 3D-Printed Arcade Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock.md)
