# Making Smoking ‘Cute' Frank Kozik's Smoking Labbits Feature Lots of Cigarettes By Cowbag | Published 2008-12-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinyl-variations-frank-kozik-non-vinyl-variations References: [kidrobot](http://www.kidrobot.com) & [fkozik](http://www.fkozik.com/) Designer Frank Kozik’s pieces seem to get better and better. You may not know his name, but you would most certainly know his designs such as the *smoking labbit*. Leaving the design classics of Dunny/Labbit aside, Kozik ups the ante (exclusively for [KidRobot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-2)) with this 14-inch Beethoven bust inspired by Alex’s love for the legend in *A Clockwork Orange*. It’s $200, but I really want one—thank God I am in the UK where they don’t deliver. I also really love the Mongerforce Sarge, a smoking toy, and the pink grenade is also to die for, no pun intended. As already mentioned, the Labbit/Dunny are classic characters, so much so that they have their own range of bags, t-shirts and plushies in their likeness. Oh, I want it all right now! Frank Kozik: found guilty on all counts of awesome vinyl toy-making. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smoking Labbits:** Opportunity to create unique and innovative smoking-themed toys and collectibles. - **Beethoven Bust:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the niche market of music-inspired figurines. - **Mongerforce Sarge:** Innovation opportunity to develop smoking-related toys with a unique and edgy aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Vinyl Toy-making:** Chance to disrupt the vinyl toy industry by introducing smoking-themed collectibles. - **Niche Figurines:** Opportunity to innovate and disrupt the market for figurines inspired by music and pop culture. - **Smoking Accessories:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the smoking accessory industry by creating unique and artistic products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Designer Blind Box Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top.md) - [Soup-Themed Bunny Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-2.md) - [Designer Toy Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then.md) - [Balloon Dog-Themed Smoking Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dogthemed.md) - [Plush Monster Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labubu.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Collectible Incense Chamber Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incense-chamber-1.md) - [90s-Inspired Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-1.md) - [Graphic Colorful Joint Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-prince.md)
