# Galactic Girly Toys These 'My Little Star Trek Ponies' are an Unlikely Remix By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-06-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-ponies References: [holykaw.alltop](http://holykaw.alltop.com/my-little-star-trek-pony?tu3=1) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/63529012/one-of-a-kind-customized-my-little-pony) These 'Star Trek Ponies' by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) user Sara Bean are an adorable mash-up of two of the most beloved icons from the past few decades. Mixing two nostalgic items in a charming way, this seller is doing a great deal of business with her appealing and creative creations. With pony versions of Spock and Captain Kirk, this is the cutest depiction of Trek characters in existence. One-of-a-kind and irresistibly hilarious, these dolls are sure to please the most feminine Trekkies out there. Bean offers mix-up ponies using other iconic figures including Transformers, and shows a wide range of customization options on her [Etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/63529012/one-of-a-kind-customized-my-little-pony) page. Perhaps less than kid-friendly, these are better classified as memorabilia than toys. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nostalgia Mashups:** The trend of combining two beloved icons from the past can create charming and unique products. - **Customized Collectibles:** Increasing demand for personalized and unique figurines can lead to innovative custom collectible businesses. - **Feminine Fan Merchandise:** Creating merchandise targeted towards feminine fans can tap into a potential market and lead to increased sales. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturers:** Toy manufacturers can explore the trend of nostalgia mashups to create unique toy products. - **Customized Figurine Businesses:** Innovative customized figurine businesses can leverage the trend of customized collectibles and offer personalized merchandise. - **Pop Culture Merchandise Retailers:** Pop culture merchandise retailers can cater to the demand for feminine fan merchandise and offer targeted products to increase sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toy Pony NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-nfts.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Themed Dart Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starfleet-phaser-blaster.md) - [Replica Sci-Fi Toy Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playmobil-star-trek-klingon-bird-of-prey.md) - [Sci-Fi Media Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buildabridge-mini-bridge.md) - [Whimsical Coffee Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-coffee.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Playful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zsiga-care-bears.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-people-collector-set.md) - [Sci-Fi Film Franchise Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set.md)
