The service is offered as part of Firebox's 'Brick Yourself' project and involves creating LEGO figurines in a person's likeness. Anyone who wants a personalized LEGO character can send the company a picture of themselves as well as some personal information including random facts, a preferred quote, hobbies and outfit preferences. The creative minds behind the Brick Yourself products will then create a figurine with the information they were provided to create it. The figurines come in a boxed frame for the user to hang up or place anywhere in their home or office. These toys show the necessity of building relationships with consumers by targeting them on a more personal level. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Toys:** The trend is to move towards personalized toys which can benefit the toy industry by building emotional connections with customers. - **Customized Products:** Customized products are attracting consumers that crave individuality, allowing companies to target the needs of specific demographics. - **3D Printing:** 3D printing is revolutionizing product development, enabling precise customization and direct-to-consumer production at scale. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can use personalized LEGO figurines to cater to people's personal preferences and interests, increasing the emotional connection between customers and the product. - **Gift Industry:** Personalized toys offer a unique and personalized gifting option, making them stand out in the competitive gift industry. - **3D Printing Industry:** The 3D printing industry can collaborate with toy manufacturers to offer efficient and affordable production and customization of toys, bringing 3D printed toys to the mainstream market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Animated Custom Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself.md) - [Selfie-Centric Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-series.md) - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Custom Face Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity-program.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Customizable Brick Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-moc-wall-clock.md) - [Iconic Artwork Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-art-mona-lisa-set.md) - [3D-Printed LEGO Minifigures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duck-toy.md) - [Building Block Musician Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-lego-helmets.md)
