Superplastic × Guggimon

There’s something deliciously dangerous about the way Superplastic toys strut into the world: half fashion, half menace, and all attitude. Their drop, Guggimon’sChop Chop Murder Pants”, pushes that persona to the limit.

Who (or What) Is Guggimon?

If you’ve been orbiting the designer-toy scene for a while, you already know Guggimon. He’s one of Superplastic’s most infamous digital-turned-physical icons: an axe-wielding fashion horror with a love for streetwear, haute couture, and absolute mayhem. Created by artist Paul Budnitz and the Superplastic team, Guggimon bridges the worlds of digital avatars, NFTs, and physical art toys, often embodying a kind of mischievous luxury.

The Drop: “Chop Chop Murder Pants”

The new “Murder Pants” edition is a sculptural statement piece; all sleek vinyl curves, glossy finish, and psychotic charisma. Think: Halloween runway meets underground gallery. The monochrome palette is punctuated by red accents and Guggimon’s trademark bunny skull grin. At the same time, the detailing on his weapon and outfit transforms a cartoonish figure into something closer to street sculpture.

Released in a limited run, this figure continues Superplastic’s tradition of small-batch vinyls that skyrocket in aftermarket value. It’s not for casual collectors, it’s for those who treat toys like fine art and understand the culture of scarcity.

When Toys Become Art

Superplastic doesn’t make “merch.” They make statements. Their pieces often blur the boundary between collectible and commentary. It’s a reflection on influencer culture, digital identity, and hype itself. Guggimon’s Murder Pants” figure is a perfect embodiment of that ethos: both playful and pretentious, polished yet violent, absurd yet beautifully made.

Owning it feels less like adding a toy to your collection and more like claiming a piece of the pop-art future.

How to Display It

This isn’t a figure you hide behind glass; it’s one you give a pedestal. For serious collectors, think of pairing it with bold lighting, mirrored shelving, or other pieces from the Superplastic lineup like Janky or Dayzee. It thrives in contrast: surrounded by minimalism, it becomes the chaos at the center.

Final Thoughts:

Superplastic and Guggimon continue to prove that the art toy movement is about rebellion, craftsmanship, and attitude at heart. “Chop Chop Murder Pants” doesn’t just decorate your space; it owns it.
