In recent years, the trendy toy market has been booming, and various IP dolls have emerged in endlessly. However, the once-popular "Monkey King Doll" has gradually faded out of people's sight. Why is everyone no longer interested in the Monkey King doll? This article will analyze from three aspects: market data, user preferences and industry trends.
1. Comparison of market data

The following is the comparison data of search volume and sales of popular toy IPs in the past 10 days:
| IP name | Search volume (10,000 times) | Sales volume (10,000 pieces) |
|---|---|---|
| Lina Belle | 120.5 | 85.3 |
| Bingdundun | 98.7 | 72.1 |
| ultraman | 65.2 | 53.8 |
| Doll of the Great Sage | 8.3 | 6.5 |
It can be seen from the data that the search volume and sales volume of Monkey King Doll are far lower than other popular IPs, and the market popularity is obviously insufficient.
2. Changes in user preferences
According to social media research, user preferences for dolls have changed as follows:
| Preference factors | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Cute shape | 45% |
| IP popularity | 30% |
| Interactive features | 15% |
| nostalgia | 10% |
The shape of the Dasheng dolls tends to be traditional, lacking the "cute" elements favored by modern users, and has insufficient interactive functions, making it difficult to attract young consumers.
3. Industry trend analysis
The trendy toy industry has shown the following trends in recent years:
