Elbo x GZ - Dino Apu Vinyl Toy (10 in Edition)

Elbo x GZ — Dino Apu Vinyl Toy (10-inch Edition) is a 2021 limited-edition collaboration between celebrated heady glass artist Elbo (Elbo Glass) and the artist GZ. Released as a numbered run of only 250 pieces worldwide, each figure is individually signed and numbered by the artists, making this a true collector's piece from the modern functional-art and heady glass scene.

Stands 10 inches tall in sculpted vinyl, this is the larger and more sought-after of the Dino Apu releases. Elbo's signature character work — playful, character-forward, and rooted in the Pacific Northwest heady glass aesthetic — translates here into a fully realized vinyl art object. GZ's collaboration adds color and stylistic detail that makes each piece read as both a smoking-scene cultural artifact and a standalone modern art-toy collectible.

Why collectors want this piece

• Numbered limited edition — 1 of 250 worldwide, individually signed
• Elbo Glass connection — Elbo is one of the most recognized contemporary heady glass artists, with pieces in the same collector universe as Bob Snodgrass, Banjo, and the Eugene WA glass lineage
• GZ artist collaboration — limited-collab pieces from this era of heady-art crossover are increasingly rare on the secondary market
• 10-inch scale — display-grade size, not the smaller mini variant
• 2021 release — original run is now sold through most authorized channels; remaining inventory is concentrated at long-time stockists

Who this is for

Designer-vinyl collectors, heady glass collectors expanding into art-toy adjacent pieces, fans of the Elbo Glass universe, and anyone building a contemporary functional-art display. This is the larger 10-inch edition — distinct from the smaller mini Dino Apu releases.

About the artists

Elbo Glass is among the most recognized contemporary heady glass artists, known for character-driven functional pieces, custom rigs, and ongoing collaborations with the broader heady glass and art-toy communities. Pieces signed by Elbo regularly hold their value on the collector secondary market.

GZ contributes the stylistic detail and color work that gives the Dino Apu its distinctive look — a hybrid of Elbo's character vocabulary and GZ's painterly approach.
