Daft Punk has teamed up with Durex to create their own range of condoms. The condom is named after the duo's hit song off "Random Access Memories" album, "Get Lucky". The contraceptives are reportedly sent out to the world's top DJs in promotional package.
Diplo shared a picture of the condom's container on Instagram on July 8. The packaging features a picture of Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers performing in front of huge and blazing sun. "Thank God I had those Daft Punk condoms last night," he wrote as the caption. London DJ Seb Fontaine reportedly was happy to receive the freebies.
The line apparently will be sold in Europe first, before entering U.K. So far, there is no word whether the line will be sold in the U.S.
Helmet-covered Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are not the first celebrities who release their line of condoms. English boyband JLS released their own line called "Just Love Safe" in 2011.
Other than condoms, the duo has their own line of action figures by teaming up with Bandai and Japan's SH Figuarts. According to Exclaim, the toys are "crafted with meticulous attention to detail - [the] helmet area employs a shiny metallic finish and clear parts for enhanced realism." The six-inch toys will be released in Japan in November and in the U.S. in December.
