Shock rock legends GWAR have teamed up with Mischief Toys to release the limited-edition “Minion Gastley” toy, available now at MischiefToys.com. Gastley, the beloved hellion from Mischief Toys, has been transformed by GWAR into Minion Gastley, a mutated servant with grotesque charm and hints of Balsac the Jaws of Death. This crossover celebrates the fusion of heavy metal and collectible culture, offering fans multiple colorways: the Classic “Unscathed” Version (320 pieces, $55), Blacklight-Reactive Green Spatter (100 pieces, $55), Red Spatter (50 pieces, $55), and a GWAR.net-exclusive Blue Spatter (150 pieces, $55). A Signed Classic Unscathed Gastley (30 pieces, $85), autographed by Blothar, Jizmak Da Gusha, Grodius Maximus, Balsac, Bonesnapper, Sawborg Destructo, and Beefcake the Mighty, is also available, along with matching merch like enamel pins, a blacklight poster, t-shirts, and hats.
Christopher Gast, founder of Mischief Toys, shared, “This collaboration brings together two of the things we love most: GWAR—the most gloriously chaotic band in the universe—and Gastley, our beloved little hellion from the Netherworld.” In the GWAR lore, Minion Gastley is condemned to clean toilets, mop blood, and tend to the wreckage as the band tours the galaxy.
GWAR also celebrates their 40th anniversary with The Return of Gor Gor, a multimedia release out July 25, 2025, via Pit Records. It features three new studio tracks mixed by Kurt Ballou, four live recordings from 2024 mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy, and a 32-page comic. The lead single “Lot Lizard” has an NSFW video out now. Pre-order at Pit Records in formats like CD, LP, and a deluxe hardcover edition. The band is currently on a North American tour, hitting Memphis, TN, tonight at Minglewood Hall with Toxic Holocaust, AEther Realm, and Tracheotomy, and continuing with dates alongside Static-X, Eyehategod, and a festival stop at Aftershock in Sacramento on October 5.
