A 6ft (6ft) tall surfer, a knobby-faced magician looking at the sea with a beer in his hand. The swollen goddess of surf quickly became a national sensation that appeared in the SURFtoons comic and as a plastic model, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. MPC, maker of Hot Curl kits, expanded the franchise with Curl's Gurl kit and Hot Shot skateboarder, brother Curl, with his dog, Hot Dog. Smaller-scale Hot Curl models are included in some of the 1929 MPC pickup/woodie kit problems. In 1964, Hot Curl became a movie star, appearing at the Muscle Beach Party .
