SuperPlastic's Homage to Gorillaz's Murdoc in Vinyl: A Street Art Collectible
The collectible figure world was enriched in 2021 by introducing the Gorillaz Murdoc: Song Machine 13" Janky by SuperPlastic. This limited edition vinyl artwork celebrates Murdoc Niccals, the fictitious bassist and self-proclaimed leader of the internationally acclaimed virtual band Gorillaz. A new addition to the Gorillaz collectibles, this figure is the first Murdoc art toy released in over a decade. The 13-inch vinyl reflects Murdoc's iconic style, complete with his signature bass guitar, lit cigarette, and notoriously long nails, encapsulating his rebellious and wild persona.
Murdoc's Iconic Features Captured in Vinyl
The figure's meticulous design highlights Murdoc's distinctive green skin tone and punk-rock aesthetic. Each accessory, from the nails long enough to scratch a chalkboard to the giant bass, contributes to the narrative of Murdoc's character — an embodiment of the band's edgy and unconventional style. This figure, crafted from super soft green vinyl, is not just an object of admiration for fans but also a piece that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, connecting the realms of music and visual art.
Cultural Significance and Artistic Merit
Murdoc's figure represents a blend of street art ethos and pop culture iconography. Gorillaz has consistently pushed the boundaries of music and visual storytelling, and this collectible continues that tradition. The figure's box presentation underscores its status as a collectible, while its unique design pays homage to the Gorillaz's significant impact on pop culture. In the landscape of street pop art and graffiti artwork, SuperPlastic's Gorillaz Murdoc: Song Machine figure stands as a bridge between the virtual and the tangible, a physical manifestation of the band's ongoing narrative.
