In 2017, Huck Gee Inc. ended and released its final self-produced release.

It was the first major exhibit of designer urban toys worldwide and guest curated by Pharrell Williams. Huck’s work can be found in the editorial companion to the exhibit, titled by the same name, “This is Not a Toy”.

In 2010, Huck collaborated with rally racer and co-founder of DC shoes, Ken Block. A version of Huck’s famous “Skullhead” was designed as a logo for Block’s Monster World Rally Team WRC entitled “Blockhead”. The logo shows Ken’s number “43″ implanted on the forehead of a “squared” skull. In the Spring of 2010, the creators at United Front Games asked Huck to feature in an “Artist Spotlight” for the game ModNation.

In the Fall of 2009 Huck participated in the, Sanrio hosted, 35th Anniversary celebration for Hello Kitty called Three Apples. Three Apples was a multi-dimensional exhibition and celebration of all things Hello Kitty.

In the winter of 2007, three Kidrobot toys were accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, including a “Hello My Name Is” 8″ Dunny, designed by Gee with Paul Budnitz and Tristan Eaton. Huck has also consigned several pieces for one of the world’s leading fine art auction houses: Christie’s Auction House.
