In time for this year's United States presidential election, [Wild Hair Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-collar-charms) released three troll toys based on iconic animals that represent the country. There's the G.O.P. Elephant, the Democrat Donkey and the Independent Eagle, and each one either sports red, white or blue hair. The collectibles reference the different political sides and offer a fun way for people to show their support for one or the other, or purchase them all to complete the trio.

As Wild Hair Creations reminds, "In today’s political climate, we need to remember that differences of opinion and the ability to freely discuss those opinions is part of what makes America great. Wild Hair Party Animals help you celebrate this freedom to openly debate with the fun, traditional mascots of the [Republican](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dame) and [Democratic Party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamocracy)."
