MF DOOM Estate and Madlib Team Up with Super7 to Launch Supersize Madvillain Collectible Figure
The estate of hip-hop star MF Doom and Madlib have teamed up with Super7 to release a supersized reimagined Madvillain vinyl action figure.
In continuation of the 20th-anniversary celebration of MF DOOM and Madlib’s groundbreaking collaboration, Madvillainy, the MF DOOM estate, and Madlib have teamed up with Super7 to present a reimagined Madvillain vinyl action figure, along with an exclusive merch and apparel capsule. The figure and capsule will be on sale from Monday, August 5th at 11:00 AM ET through Wednesday, August 7th at 11:59 PM ET at Gasdrawls.com.
The SuperSize Madvillain figure, the first music-related SuperSize character for Super7, is a 16” tall, poseable vinyl collectible inspired by hip-hop supergroup Madvillain’s animated comic-book-come-to-life music video “ALL CAPS.” It features premium soft vinyl construction with articulation at the neck, shoulders, waist, and ankles, and includes a soft goods trench coat (non-removable). Retailing for 295 dollars, this SuperSize Madvillain figure is ready to make a big impression in your collection.
With updated artwork from the original artist, James Reitano, the Madvillain character is also brought to life through its new packaging art, as well as an exclusive merch and apparel capsule. The capsule collection also features new shirts, sweatshirts, caps, stickers, a skate deck, and more. Launching at 11:00 am EST on August 5th and only available through 11:59 pm EST on August 7th, the figure and capsule collection are a strictly limited engagement.
Reitano comments:
“While it was an honor to work with DOOM on the various projects we collaborated on, I’m grateful to his estate and to Madlib for allowing me to help ensure his legacy lives on!”
One of hip-hop’s most beloved antiheroes, the ever-inventive MF DOOM received widespread praise for his sharp, candid rhymes and choppy, sample-heavy production style. He joined forces with legendary producer Madlib, and under the name Madvillian, the supergroup went on to release their critically acclaimed album Madvillainy in 2004.
The MF DOOM estate previously collaborated with San Francisco-based Super7, the premier pop-culture design house and producer of lifestyle-oriented collectibles and toys, on an Operation: Doomsday-themed collectible figure, which sold out in less than an hour.
