Blink-182 released their fourth studio album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, 25 years ago. To celebrate this major milestone, Blink-182 is partnering with Encore! Toy Co. to bring you a piece of pop-punk history. Encore! Toy Co., a subsidiary of Rockabilia, brings fans a limited edition set of 7 inch vinyl figures depicting Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, and Travis Barker as their First Date alter egos. 


 The figures are currently available for purchase and are expected to ship in February 2027. They are sold as a set and individually, so you can choose your favorite! They even come with their own accessories and interchangeable hands! I definitely need the Travis Barker one! Grab one or all three here.

 These figures aren’t just another piece of band merchandise, they’re a piece of music history. They capture a moment when Blink-182 helped define the pop-punk era and became one of the biggest names in the scene. Whether you’ve been a fan your whole life, discovered the band a few years ago, or simply love collecting music memorabilia, these figures are a must have for any collection. They also hold a strong personal connection with Frankie Blydenburgh, the co-owner and managing operator of Rockabilia.com and Encore! Toy Co. 


 "Blink-182 has been a huge part of my life since I discovered them in '97, and they were really the catalyst for me getting into punk rock. To now be nearly 30 years into that journey and working alongside the entire Blink team to bring an officially licensed project like this to life is pretty unbelievable. The fact that everyone on their side is just as excited as we are to see these figures roll out makes the whole thing even more rewarding. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was such a defining record for so many fans, and getting to celebrate its 25th anniversary this way is something I'm incredibly proud to be a part of." - Frankie Blydenburgh
