Gwar And H.O.P. Toys Team Up To Give Oderus Urungus A Vinyl Figure Tribute

One of everyone’s favorite intergalactic humanoid barbarians is ready to ride again thanks to the heavy metal band Gwar and H.O.P.Toys (High on Plastic Toys). The 10 inch tall, Sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl) style, 50-billion-year-old Oderus Urungus (played by the late Dave Brockie) has been teased in a picture off the H.O.P.Toys website and Instagram. The sculpt, made by artist Sea Demon Vinyl, is said to be the first in a coming series of at least six different variants, including blanks, standard paint, and a GWAR.NET exclusive blood-spattered version.


As the figure is in-production, no pricing details are available as of yet. Don’t fret though: sources assure us that the figure will come with a very reasonable price tag and will be widely available. Pre-orders are anticipated to go live in July, and expect to say “HELL-O”  to Oderus in the shiny, vinyl flesh this September.

Keep an eye on the H.O.P. Toys official website and instagram for pre-order info.
