These [Star Wars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-dimensionals-star-wars) bobble heads combine Star Wars characters and pop culture monsters. The 'Darthenstein' is a combo of Darth Vader and [Frankenstein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-wine). Then there's the 'Werebacca,' which is a hybrid of a werewolf and Chewbacca. Finally, there is the combo of Yoda and a [Stormtrooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-1).

Standing at 6 inches tall, each Star Wars bobble head is super cute and make for an awesome collectible or gift for your nerdy loved one.

**Implications** - As the market for pop culture-inspired products continues to grow, consumers seek distinctive and uniquely creative items. Businesses can appeal to a wide audience by combining several popular products or pop culture figures. Through this integration or "mash-up," customers who were previously only interested in one aspect of the combined new product will gain interest in another market.
