# Custom Selfie Dolls This Etsy Store Creates Dolls Based on Your Selfies By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-doll References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/mahinarium-selfie-dolls) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mahinarium) Hungary-based toymaker and [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsys-christmas-ad) store 'Mahinarium' creates selfie dolls tailored to each individual's self-portrait. We are, undoubtedly, a generation that's a little self-obsessed. While I'm not qualified to say how much more or less narcissistic we (millennials) are in comparison to other generations, it's true that social media has exacerbated the ways in which we are able to indulge that narcissism. Now, you can take it one step further. Instead of posting a selfie to [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-8), why not "dollify" your likeness? Simply send a photo of yourself to store owner Magdi, and she'll create a sweet, carnoonish [plush toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labubu) that stands 12-inches tall and comes with two outfits of your choice. You get a say in the materials, accessories and overall arrangement of the doll, which features hand-crafted details, such as eyebrows and beards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Custom Selfie Dolls:** Opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of personalized products by offering custom-made dolls based on selfies. - **Narcissistic Self-expression:** Market demand for products that enable individuals to express their self-obsession in unique and personalized ways, such as selfie dolls. - **Customizable Toy Industry:** Disruptive innovation in the toy industry by offering customizable dolls that cater to individuals' specific preferences and self-image. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Opportunity for toy manufacturers to tap into the demand for personalized toys by offering customized selfie doll options. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the trend by creating a marketplace for personalized products, including selfie dolls. - **Artisanal Crafts:** Artisanal craft businesses can innovate by incorporating selfie dolls into their product offerings, providing a unique and personalized form of artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Giftable Customized Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself-funko.md) - [Miniature Animated Custom Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md) - [Personalized Pet Photo Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-pet-photo.md) - [Two-Sided Paper Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megadolls.md) - [AI Avatar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-ai.md) - [Timber Tech-Packed Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-wooden-dolls.md) - [Recordable Stuffed Animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubido-factory.md)
