# Mexican Treasure Trolls Dr. Morbito Tixinda Toys are Precious By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-01-31 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tixinda References: [sweet-station](http://www.sweet-station.com/blog/?p=10376) The TIXINDA toy, ‘Dr. Morbito’ is created by Mexican designers Anabel Vanoni and Eric Morales who creatively fuse design and urban-ethnic art. These dolls are their way of recovering their [cultural identity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katseye-and-monster-high) through the construction of these [exclusive, innovative and lucid products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva). I happen to find them very similar to my [treasure troll doll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-kweenie) with the blinged-out belly art, but that crazy haired toy cannot compare to Dr. Morbito. The detailed beading and intricate artwork put Mr. Troll to shame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Urban-ethnic Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating unique and culturally rich products that blend urban and ethnic art styles. - **Cultural Identity Revival:** There is potential for disruptive innovation by designing products that help individuals and communities reconnect with their cultural heritage. - **Artistic Toys:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation exist in the development of toys that showcase intricate artwork and detailed craftsmanship. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy manufacturing industry can explore disruptive innovation by incorporating unique artistic designs into their products. - **Art and Design:** In the art and design industry, there is potential for disruptive innovation by combining urban and ethnic art styles in creative ways. - **Cultural Heritage Preservation:** The cultural heritage preservation industry can embrace disruptive innovation by developing products that help individuals reconnect with their cultural identities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collectible Message Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momiji-x-tomy.md) - [Enchanted Potion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-mixies-pixlings.md) - [Mythological Two-Piece Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corazon-marikit-doll.md) - [Festive Día de Muertos-Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-dolls.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md) - [Micro Tex-Mex QSR Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mga-miniverse-make-it-mini-taco-bell-collection.md) - [Artisinal Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisinal-tequila-bottles.md) - [Animated Creature Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolls-x-swarovski.md) - [Collectible Mexican Holiday Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-2023-da-de-muertos-doll.md)
