About This Piece
Murdoc Niccals — Spacesuit Edition
Premium Vinyl Collectible Figure • Brand New in Box • Factory Sealed Mint Condition • Sealed Outer Wrap • Inner Clamshell IntactWhat You Are Getting
An authentic Superplastic x Gorillaz Murdoc Niccals figure in the Cracker Island spacesuit edition — the bassist and self-styled leader of the world’s most famous virtual band, rendered in detailed cast vinyl with the signature green skin and a fully sculpted astronaut suit drawn directly from the band’s 2023 album visuals. The piece is brand new in box, still in its factory outer plastic wrap, with the inner clear PET clamshell fully sealed around the figure.
The figure is a striking object on its own merits: high-gloss green pressure suit with white articulated joint rings, a clear dome helmet revealing Murdoc’s sneering portrait, an integrated backpack with a red-eye antenna, and the surveillance-camera detailing across the chest, helmet, and limbs that runs as a visual motif through Gorillaz’ entire body of work. A clear display stand is included to support the dynamic mid-stride pose.
Original retail box features the official Cracker Island–era Murdoc artwork against an Earth-and-moon backdrop, with full Superplastic and Gorillaz licensing marks intact. This is the right piece for a serious Gorillaz collector, a Superplastic completist, or any designer toy collection that values premium vinyl with real artistic provenance behind it.

Released in support of Cracker Island, Gorillaz’ 2023 album themed around a fictional Silver Lake cult called The Last Cult of the Sun, the Murdoc spacesuit figure translates the album’s visual world into a fully sculpted object. The spacesuit motif runs through the entire Cracker Island campaign, from the album’s artwork by co-creator Jamie Hewlett through the music videos for “New Gold,” “Baby Queen,” and the title track. Of the four band members, Murdoc is the most visually distinct, and his green-skinned portrait inside a clear dome helmet has become one of the most reproduced Gorillaz images of this era.
Superplastic’s execution holds up to close inspection: the suit’s green is a clean high-gloss finish that matches Hewlett’s flat-color illustration style, the white articulated rings on the arms and legs reference real-world Apollo and Soyuz suit construction, and the recurring red-pupil camera and antenna details thread Murdoc’s long-running surveillance and paranoia themes into a wearable, displayable form. The piece reads equally well as a band collectible and as a stand-alone designer art toy.
Sealed Superplastic Gorillaz figures from the Cracker Island series have appreciated steadily on the secondary market as the album’s run wound down and inventory tightened. Brand-new examples with the outer factory wrap still intact are increasingly difficult to source.
