The goal of this project was to create a line of toys that explore gender identity. This LGBTQ+ friendly toy line creates a unique avenue for self expression and countless hours of mix-matchable play. Appealing to both kids and collectors, these figures use the cottagecore aesthetic; which in itself is a niche part of the LGBTQ+ community. 

With this line of action figures, we hope to strengthen community, acceptance, and self discovery.

The concept of this product is to make three poseable action figures. All of which will have the ability to swap body parts between each figure.

The deer represents traditionally feminine character traits. Other traits include motherly, skittish, peaceful, and an herbivore. The shape language is 
triangular and round.

​

.

The skunk represents androgynous character traits. It does this through round and square shape language. Other character traits include shy, awkward, omnivorous, and quiet.

​

.

The wolf represents traditionally masculine character traits. The design is sharp and angular due to the triangular and square shape language.

The original character traits were meant to be sly, untrustworthy, manipulative, and carnivorous. However, the design evolved over time and the wolf character took on more heroic attributes.
