Blink-182 & Encore! Toy Co Team Up For “Take Off Your Pants And Jacket” Era 7″ Vinyl Figures

Twenty-five years after BLINK-182 released Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, one of the most recognizable eras in pop-punk history is getting a collectible worthy of its place in music lore. Encore! Toy Co., a subsidiary of Rockabilia.com, proudly presents the brand-new and officially licensed, limited-edition set of 7-inch vinyl figures depicting Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, as their iconic “First Date” alter egos, to celebrate the enduring legacy of BLINK-182‘s 2001 landmark album.

Now, that nostalgia gets a new physical form.

Available for pre-order beginning Thursday, September 24, the figures are expected to ship in February 2027, giving longtime Blink fans and collectors the chance to bring a piece of the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era into their own collections.

From Mark’s instantly recognizable look to Tom’s signature aesthetic and Travis’ unmistakable checkerboard style, each figure is packed with details that nod to the band’s visual identity during one of the defining chapters of their career. Together, the trio transforms a landmark moment in pop-punk into a limited-edition collectible designed for the fans who grew up with it and the new generation discovering it now.

The project, brought to the table by co-owner and managing operator of music culture and fan merchandise of Rockabilia.com and Encore! Toy Co., Frankie Blydenburgh, explained, “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.”

Released in 2001, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket became a defining album of the early-2000s pop-punk explosion, delivering enduring BLINK-182 staples including “The Rock Show,” “First Date,” and “Stay Together for the Kids.” Twenty-five years later, its songs, imagery, and irreverent spirit remain deeply embedded in the culture surrounding the genre. The Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era remains a particularly significant and undeniable part of BLINK-182‘s collectible history, with merchandise from the period that carries viral and lasting nostalgia among fans.

The limited-edition Encore! Toy Co. BLINK-182 7-inch vinyl figures aren’t simply another piece of band merchandise — they’re a snapshot of a moment when BLINK-182 helped define what pop-punk could become, immortalizing the classic lineup at a pivotal point in the band’s lengthy history. For longtime fans, it’s a piece of the BLINK-182 story. For collectors, it’s a centerpiece. And for anyone who grew up with Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, it’s a chance to own a little piece of the era that never really left.
