It may still be summer, but it's never too early to start thinking of fun ways to get through winter. This quirky product comes from the design team at ThinkGeek. The product was inspired by the [Star Wars scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi) in The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker chops off the Wampa's arm. It looks just like that too, as it's a [white fur clawed mitt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giver-4-season-gloves) that has a handy [ice scraper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frostguard) on the palm. This fun piece won't only keep your hand warm, but it'll entertain you and possibly your kids too. This is definitely a great way to get through those winter blues. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pop Culture Car Accessories:** A trend where car accessories are designed based on popular movies, TV shows and games that provide entertainment and functional value for consumers. - **Multi-functional Winter Accessories:** A trend where winter accessories are designed to have multiple features such as keeping the user warm and protecting them from winter weather while also serving a functional purpose. - **Nostalgic Novelty Products:** A trend where novelty products based on past pop culture franchises and icons are designed, offering a sense of nostalgia and unique functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend by partnering with pop culture franchises to design custom accessories for specific car models. - **Outdoor Apparel:** The outdoor apparel industry can create multi-functional winter accessories to protect the user from winter weather while providing additional functionality such as entertainment or productivity. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** The entertainment merchandise industry can create novelty products based on pop culture franchises to appeal to fans and provide a unique value beyond traditional merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Themed Desktop Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-orbitkey-desk-mat.md) - [Sci-Fi Bath Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-bath-soap.md) - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars.md) - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Smartphone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-dimensionals-star-wars.md)
