Mercedes-Benz x Superplastic Event in NYC!

OK, so what is up with this partnership?

Mercedes Benz explains:

We met up with SUPERPLASTIC in Las Vegas for the CES 2023 to launch a new brand partnership that’s sure to be quite the ride ahead! Together, we took a pop-culture legend – the “Wackeldackel” nodding dog dashboard toy – and reinvented him into a modern-day icon: Superdackel!

As the newest character in the SUPERPLASTIC universe, Superdackel loomed over the Mercedes-Benz CES stand as a 2.5-metre (8.2-foot) supersized statue. He was the star of a new animated short film together with SUPERPLASTIC’s Janky and Guggimon. It’s just the very start of a lively adventure as Mercedes-Benz and SUPERPLASTIC hit the road.

Hit the road they did! One stop being the Superplastic Store in Manhattan NYC ! ! 

Location: 15 Prince Street, New York, NY 10012

Our take? This was an incredible packed-out event! Guests were offered an assortment of refreshments. As you enjoyed a pear and goat cheese crostini you could play a claw machine for your chance to win an assortment of Superdackel goodies!

Everyone wanted to try their chance at the CLAW MACHINE!

Before the party began we were able to check out the assortment of Mercedes-Benz x Superplastic goods and walked away with a really nice riding scarf. 

Always super cool to see the companies that we deal with taking big leaps (in our book, SP is a toy vendor but of course the reality is that they are more like an entertainment brand). A partnership with Mercedes Benz is surprising but actually, on a personal level, I am stoked to find out what the next stage of this partnership is. I wonder if they'll have a SP branded edition of one of their cars? I remember in high school some of the kids drove Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Explorers. An apparel / lifestyle brand partnering with a car company. Sounds familiar!
