From Factory to Fabulous: The Rising Trend of DIY Toy Customization
Toy Customization Trend Sees Enthusiasts Personalizing Popular Collectibles A recent video by TikTok user RebekahDuby86 has highlighted the growing trend of toy customization, as she transformed her popular Labubu The Monsters doll by replacing its eyes. The video, which has garnered significant attention, shows the detailed process of giving the doll a new look, moving from its original dark eyes to a brighter, more expressive pair. The creator, who expressed a desire for "better eyes" for her doll, meticulously removed the original eye backings and then printed new eye designs. She then applied epoxy resin to these designs, creating a domed, realistic effect before carefully cutting and attaching them to the doll. The final result, described by the creator as "so much better," showcases a personalized touch that many collectors are now seeking. This trend reflects a broader movement within the toy community where enthusiasts are moving beyond simply collecting items to actively altering them to suit their aesthetic preferences. Experts suggest that such customization not only enhances the personal connection to the collectibles but also fosters creativity and a sense of unique ownership among hobbyists.
