# Sweet Sushi Playthings The Fakir Design Sushi Toy is an Adorable Delight By Sophia Pelka | Published 2012-01-05 | Updated 2012-01-09 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-toy References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Sushi-Resin-Toys-Series-by-FAKIR/1611189) & [fakirdesign](http://www.fakirdesign.com/SHOP/toys.html) Parisian artist Fakir brings you this sweet Sushi toy as a way to help you play with food. The resin toys resemble traditional Japanese delicacies. The hand-crafted series includes a group of sushi rolls. Featured is the 'Samouri Sushi,' the 'Zombie Sushi' and the bad-ass boxing 'Tyson Sushi.' Each is hugged by a layer of rice and holds its own adorable attributes. The 'Tyson Sushi' -- poor thing -- is missing teeth and has a black eye; no less adorable is the 'Coocking Rabbit,' who looks crazed and hyper-energetic. The little bunny is ready to take on the world with its satchel and Fakir flag. The sushi rolls stand reasonable at $55, but the 'Noodle Yokai' is somewhat more luxurious. The damage for the tasty toy is $903.50. Though pricey, these toys hold enough energy and quirk to keep all ninjas going. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - 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 - **Food Playthings:** Exploring unique and creative ways to transform food into playful toys utilizing various mediums, such as resin or plastic, to bring joy to all ages. - **Character-inspired Toys:** Creating character-inspired toys modeled after popular culture figures or traditional cultural dishes, such as sushi rolls, to expand the novelty toy market. - **Luxe Novelty Toys:** Designing luxury novelty toys with unique details and high price tags to appeal to consumers seeking high-end, exclusive, and sought-after items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can incorporate popular culture and cultural foods to create novelty toys that bring in new audiences and expand on trends. - **3D Printing Industry:** Diving into the 3D printing industry to produce customizable novelty toys of popular cultural figures, allowing consumers to create and modify their unique toys. - **Designer Toy Industry:** The designer toy industry can create a market for high-end luxury novelty toys with unique designs, artistic details, and exclusivity to appeal to modern luxury consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sushi-Themed Pet Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-feeder-tray.md) - [Playful Sushi-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-suitcases.md) - [At-Home Omakase Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noble-fresh-cart.md) - [Fortune Cookie-Inspired Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toys-with-organic-catnip.md) - [Ninja-Inspired Curated Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curated-snack-boxes.md) - [Sushi-Inspired Pet Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppy-ehomaki-sets.md) - [Sushi Boat Blocked Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funamori-platter-set.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Pink Plant-Based Sushi Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-sushi-roll.md)
