Eleven, the precocious kinetic wonderkind of Stranger Things, is one of the most iconic residents of Hawkins, Indiana — and it’s her complicated relationship with the Upside Down that keeps us curious. For pop culture-obsessed artist, Chogrin, curiosity is his playground, and he sure loves a good remix. His latest mashup is lovingly dubbed “Elegorgon,” an appropriate namesake because it asks the theoretical question, “What would a half Eggo-eatin’ tween, half teethy demogorgon look like?” The result is an absolute delight, cleverly combining good and ghoul in a vibrantly colored vinyl masterpiece. Plus, the iam8bit exclusive colorway sports an impressive GLOW-IN-THE-DARK finish worthy of the Upside Down.  

This gleefully grim collaboration with Netflix spares no attention to detail. The unboxing is a sensory experience, from slipping off the O-Sleeve to reveal elegant embellishments like foil, suede and spot varnish, to opening the box itself, where the Elegorgon rests in a bed of gentle foam, alongside a hand-numbered artist card, featuring the original illustration from Chogrin that inspired this collectible.
