PRODUCT PRESS (PARTIAL): "First instalment from an exciting new toy company of the legendary rock star in one of his most iconic poses, during The Stooges “peanut butter incident” at Cincinnati Pop Festival in June 1970.
WAX FACE TOYS is a new series of figures in resin and vinyl from the best in music, film and cult popular culture. This first offering is a collaboration between music legend Iggy Pop and Wax Face, manufactured by Unbox Industries under exclusive license from Thread Shop, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
With a position taken from Iggy Pop’s infamous “peanut butter incident” at Crosley Field with his proto-punk band, The Stooges at the Cincinnati Pop Festival June 13th, 1970, this resin figure captures Iggy Pop hoisted high by an adoring audience in his iconic shirtless pose, seconds before smearing peanut butter all over his chest and throwing it into the crowd as The Stooges ripped through “1970” from Fun House."
(Cheers for the headsup, Barry)
