Here is an excerpt from my "Surf's Up" article: The Surfer’s Idol
It was in 1963 on Windansea Beach in La Jolla, California, that a statue was erected as a tribute to the nation’s surfers. The statue was of Hot Curl, the brainchild of two surfers/artists, Mike Dormer and Lee Teacher. Hot Curl was a character they had created as the mad mascot of surfers. This pot-bellied, droopy-drawered, spindled-shanked, long-haired surfer eventually gained international recognition. You can even see his likeness on sweatshirts and walls in some of the “beach” movies. MPC came out with their model of him in 1964 followed shortly by his brother Hot Shot with his pet Hot Dog and Curl’s girlfriend, Curl’s Gurl. Both of these kits had extra differently-styled heads to customize your model with. A few years later Hot Curl showed up in much smaller 1/25 scale for MPC’s Wild Ones kit of a ’29 pick-up. |

Nice find!!! I have a couple in the box and Curl's Gurl in the box- plan to build both. Did your come with the keychain tag? He also had some yarn in the kit to detail his hair and belt. Looking forward to your restore on him!!

Just saw this - so cool you scored Hot Shot and his Dog. I've never seen that one built-up only a sealed box.
