Superplastic and Gorillaz Drop New Limited-Edition Collectible Vinyl “Geep” in honor of Gorillaz 20th Anniversary Celebration

Burlington, VT. (May 27, 2021) – Global entertainment brand Superplastic is teaming up for the third time with the biggest virtual band in the world to celebrate two glorious decades of Gorillaz with a new ultra-luxe, limited-edition, collectible vinyl toy, “Geep.” Available today on superplastic.co, “Geep” features the iconic green dune buggy driven by music prodigy Noodle, and is equipped with a removable guitar and working LED lights. The limited-edition vinyl toy is 10-inches long, 4-inches tall, and retails for $120 MSRP.

This is the latest drop from Superplastic and Gorillaz, who first collaborated in 2019 to bring fans fresh, new, Gorillaz collectibles which had been absent from the market for more than a decade. Past products include limited-edition soft vinyl of Gorillaz lead singer 2D in 2019 and a full band vinyl toy set featuring band members 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russell in 2020. With only limited quantities available of “Geep,” this legendary art toy will undoubtedly become a collector’s instant classic.

Noodle says, “the Geep, our most loyal companion. We hope it will bring joy to all the homes it parks up in around the world.”

“It’s been my dream to ride shotgun with Noodle in the Geep…on mushrooms. As real as I want that moment to be, we all know that this shit isn’t happening. So, we decided to make a super limited, dope, amazing toy instead. It’s been killer bringing Gorillaz to life through designer toys over almost two decades, and I can’t wait for fans to get the Geep!” says Superplastic founder Paul Budnitz.
