“Our community has been asking us since the beginning to create a line of SpongeBob figures, especially considering our love for memes,” said Austin Long, co-founder, Youtooz. “As one of the most watched animated series of all time, it was an honor for us to collaborate with ViacomCBS and create a collection of iconic moments and memes from SpongeBob.”
The first collection to be released as part of this collaboration are four iconic memes from the SpongeBob series: SpongeBob Heading Out; Inside Squidward; Handsome Squidward Falling; Patrick I Have $3. The figures are priced $29.99 USD and are available to pre-order now at youtooz.com/collections/spongebob with a release slated for March 2022.

SpongeBob Heading Out (#0):
Aight imma head out. I’ll be back. SpongeBob’s Heading Out scene was made famous by an all time classic internet meme. At 3 inches in height, this is SpongeBob’s introduction to the Youtooz universe. Perfect on a desk, this designer collectible is sculpted to show SpongeBob standing up from his red and white chair, looking slightly downward while holding a black TV remote control with his left hand. Although he’s usually joyful, SpongeBob’s expression in this scene conveys that he is done with what he’s watching. SpongeBob wears his usual uniform complete with a white collared shirt and red tie, and of course, brown square pants. His double-walled window box includes drawings of SpongeBob’s living room. This collectible ships in a matte, embossed, protective outer sleeve inside a shipping carton sealed with Youtooz tape.
Patrick: I have 3 dollars (#6):
How much? That looks like the toilet plunger I threw out yesterday. I have 3 dollars. Standing at 4 inches tall, Patrick Star joins the Youtooz universe all the way from Bikini Bottom. Sculpted with a rounded bulging belly, slightly protruding belly button and wearing his usual shorts, Patrick holds 3 green dollar bills in his hand. This scene became an internet meme which let people express their lack of money in certain situations. His double-walled window box includes illustrations of marine scenery and a scene including Mr. Krabs. This collectible ships in a matte, embossed protective outer sleeve.
Falling Handsome Squidward (#7):
Take the door and smash my face back! Oh no! You’re even more handsome! Standing 4.7 inches tall, Handsome Squidward is the beautiful alternative face of Squidward Tentacles, after being slammed with a door numerous times by SpongeBob. He is sculpted with a bodybuilder’s physique, wearing a tight outfit with a black belt. He is modeled while falling, with eyes closed and mouth open. This figure is held up by a small stand. His double-walled window box includes drawings from outside the Krusty Krab. This collectible ships in a matte, embossed, protective outer sleeve inside a shipping carton sealed with Youtooz tape.
Inside Squidward (#3):
Sigh… What are those two knuckle heads up to? SpongeBob… Patrick! Standing at 4 inches in height, Squidward is now a Youtooz collectible! Wearing his classic collared shirt, Squidward stands inside his home, peaking through the blinds at the fun outside. This image comes from the SpongeBob Episode “That Sinking Feeling” and has grown to become a phenomenon on the internet which people share to express the feeling of watching others have fun while you aren’t able to participate. Squidward’s sleeve is beautifully illustrated using elements from the SpongeBob theme. His double-walled window box includes a drawing of the interior of his house, a picture frame and Squidward looking out the window. The interior of the packaging includes a blue background. The collectible ships in a matte, embossed, protective outer sleeve inside a shipping carton sealed with Youtooz tape.
