Pink Heart Camo HazMaPo

2005 SDCC Exclusive

- from HazMaPo Series A1

- by Unkl

An extremely rare release from the long defunct toy collective known as Unkl*

Limited to only 300 pieces for San Diego Comic Con back in 2005.

HazMaPo were the signature line from Unkl. Round headed fully vinyl figures wearing gas masks - with different sculpts and different colorways. They were beautiful little toys, some of the best to come out of the early 2000s designer vinyl boom.

They had stunning designs. And more importantly - they're one of the few modern vinyls that actually smelled like vinyl.

You other vinyl heads know what I mean. There's nothing else like it.

Unkl was a favorite of mine and my daughter's. They had a cartoon on TV, a small line of apparel, and plenty of attention from the community. We used to drive all over looking for their stuff. We even ordered some clothes from their website.

And now their biggest releases are almost 20 years old.

Time is really the rarest thing of all.

(* I hope I'm wrong, please correct me if they're still out there somewhere. My daughter and I would be ecstatic to find out they still exist in some form.)

Here is the other massive 12" HazMaPo from @unklbrand in what they call the Peligro edition! This released back in 2007 and retailed for just $80. This one is covered head to toe in deco, some rad infographic type elements along with the black/orange contrast makes it really stand out... that, and it’s size! #unklbrand #unkl #vinyltoys #hazmapo #spankystokes #designertoys #designervinyl #robot #danger #designertoy

Ohhh... more @unklbrand goodness. A few more SUG 10” tall figures (H60 released in 2008 and Urban Recovery releases in 2007) they both had ULLIGUS companions, but the yellow one is packed away somewhere. #unklbrand #unkl #vinyltoys #designertoys #designervinyl #spankystokes

Some more @unklbrand love today... this is the SUG F58 - Search & Rescue with companion ULLIGUS. Released in 2008, these companion sets are some of my favorite vinyl figures ever... #spankystokes #sug #ulligus #unkl #unklbrand #unklbrand #vinyltoys
