# Talking Toy Presidents By Cowbag | Published 2007-03-25 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talking-toy-presidents References: [toypresidents](http://www.toypresidents.com) Toypresidents is a collectible series of talking political action figures who claim to seek "to promote a better understanding of the democracy we cherish and the individuals who have devoted their lives to serving the American people, both past and present." I am not so sure about their aim but I do love the products. The company has even retired some of their figures - such as Clinton - so only [limited numbers are made](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon). In addition to the Presidents line you can find talking Hilary Clinton's and Nelson Mandella's. Religion is given the nod by a [talking Jesus Figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-history-30) and talking Moses. Princes Diana and Winston Churchill figures have also been made. Best of all on the website they encourage you to excercise your right to vote - yes you get to vote for who you want them to make next! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Collectible Talking Political Action Figures:** The demand for collectible talking political action figures is on the rise, providing an opportunity for manufacturers to create limited edition versions of historical or current political figures. - **Customizable Collectibles:** Toypresidents' feature that allows customers to vote on which political figure to produce next represents an opportunity for businesses to provide customizable collectibles that cater to customers' unique preferences. - **Niche Market Toys:** Toypresidents' success implies a growing trend towards niche market toys, indicating an opportunity for manufacturers to produce specialized, high-quality toys that cater to specific interests or hobbies. ### Where This Applies - **Collectible Figurine Industry:** Toypresidents is shaking up the collectible figurine industry by producing a unique and unconventional product that appeals to a diverse audience, providing an opportunity for competitors to adapt and tap into this growing market. - **Toy Manufacturing Industry:** Toypresidents' success in producing unique and stunning collectibles suggests an opportunity for toy manufacturers to capitalize on the demand for high-quality, customizable figures that cater to specific interests or hobbies. - **Political Merchandise Industry:** Toypresidents' unique offering of collectible talking political action figures implies a growing trend towards niche political merchandise, indicating an opportunity for political merchandise manufacturers to produce personalized and unique products that appeal to a growing market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collectible Philosopher Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-plato.md) - [Custom Face Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity-program.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Conversational Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robosen.md) - [Angry Customer Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namespace.md) - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Playwright Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-william-shakespeare.md) - [Expansive Electoral Candy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-collection.md) - [Presidential Election Candy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection.md)
