Cookiezilla has laid dormant for just under a year, and in the creature’s absence, a new adversary rises! Today, Bottleneck Gallery continues to honor the legacy of artist and brilliant sculptor Gabriel Marquez with the newest entry in the Cookiezillaverse – Elmo Kong! BNG will be donating 10% of all profits made from the sale of this figure to the Pediatric Tumor Foundation.

As BNG explained, “Gabriel’s original character and statue, Cookiezilla, is a truly special project for us. Gabriel’s unfortunate passing in 2021 was a devastating loss in so many ways, and we hope continuing to build upon the Cookiezillaverse alongside his family and artists and sculptors we trust helps Gabriel’s artistic spirit live on. Working off of a concept by Doug Nagle, we’ve brought Cookiezilla’s most fierce (so far!) adversary to life as an incredibly detailed resin statue. Elmo Kong is both oddly cuddly and fearsome, making Doug’s unique addition to the Cookiezillaverse a perfect fit!”
Elmo Kong is a hand painted 8” resin figure with interchangeable heads. The Regular Red Edition is limited to 300 pieces and will retail for $100, while the Ping Variant is limited to 100 pieces and will retail for $115. Both colorways go on sale at 12pm ET on Thursday, April 6th, at BottleneckGallery.com.
