Superplastic × J Balvin: “Neon Dreamz” Janky Figures

A user picture

In 2021, designer toy powerhouse Superplastic teamed up with Colombian reggaetón superstar J Balvin to debut a vibrant new variant of their beloved cat‐headed mascot, Janky. Dubbed the Neon Dreamz series, this collab brought specimens in two eye‑catching sizes: an 8″ “SuperJanky” (limited to 999 pieces) and the larger 15″ “UberJanky” (only 300 made) .

Superplastics’ signature vinyl aesthetic collided with Balvin’s bold visual branding, resulting in neon‑green bodies emblazoned with pink lightning bolt eyes - a nod to J Balvin’s energetic vibe . The 8″ SuperJanky retailed around $90, while the 15″ stood at $175 .

Balvin himself announced the launch on social media, highlighting the collaboration alongside icons like Guggimon and Janky. The figures quickly sold out and popped up on secondary markets such as eBay and StockX, where completed UberJanky listings fetched between $120–$190 - underscoring strong collector demand.

This collab is a compelling example of the convergence of music and designer vinyl culture: J Balvin’s global stardom and Superplastic’s playful sculptural art come together to create high‑octane collectibles that resonate with fans across both fandoms.
