blink-182 and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today revealed a broad-ranging collaboration bringing together the influential punk rock band with PAC-MAN™. To coincide with the 25th anniversary celebration of their landmark 2001 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, blink-182 teamed up with Bandai Namco Entertainment on a full collection of exclusive collectible merchandise only available at Comic-Con.
The collection includes a limited-edition, numbered blink-182 x PAC-MAN Comic-Con vinyl produced by Blood Records, as well as a blink-182 version of the now memorable PAC-MAN x 7-Eleven T-shirt worn by Mark Hoppus at Coachella 2023. A moment that unexpectedly captured the mix of blink-182 humour, arcade nostalgia and convenience-store culture will now be shared with fans during San Diego Comic-Con. The collab items will be available at the blink-182 x PAC-MAN booth #1415, located at the San Diego Convention Center. San Diego Comic-Con 2026 runs from Thursday, July 23rd, through Sunday, July 26th.
Comic-Con attendees can take a trip down nostalgia lane at the blink-182 x PAC-MAN booth, with an arcade-themed space that also celebrates the cultural resurgence of the band as they commemorate the 25th anniversary of their defining album. The visually rich booth includes the stylized animated depiction of the band along with co-branded arcade cabinets and a claw machine with PAC-MAN plush and other blink-182 items as prizes. The first set of blink-182 x PAC-MAN branded merchandise will be available for sale, including the exclusive SDCC vinyl featuring the top 10 modern rock hits “The Rock Show” and “First Date.” Visitors will also be able to take pictures with PAC-MAN and Bunny, who will be making appearances at the booth during show hours.
blink-182 and Bandai Namco Entertainment will reveal more details highlighting this collaboration between two pop-culture icons, including more limited-edition blink-182 x PAC-MAN gear and merchandise.
Originally released as a coin-operated arcade cabinet, PAC-MAN is one of the most influential and longest-running video game franchises in history. The franchise continues to release new console and mobile games, and in 2025, PAC-MAN™ commemorates its 45th Anniversary with a variety of partnerships, activations and launches.
