To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album ‘Take Off Your Pants and Jacket’, Blink-182 has launched several collaborative projects and commemorative products.

In late September 2026, the band expanded a partnership with PAC-MAN to include a free-to-play, browser-based web game featuring band-inspired visuals and music. This collaboration also includes limited-edition merchandise and an appearance by the band in an animated episode of ‘PAC-MAN: Snack Breaks’.

Simultaneously, Encore! Toy Co. announced an officially licensed collection of 7-inch vinyl figures. The set depicts band members Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker as their ‘First Date’ alter egos. Pre-orders for these collectibles began on September 24, with shipping scheduled to start in February 2027.
