The exciting new toy company delivers two special-edition RED and BLUE versions 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, limited to 25 pieces in each colour.

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. The figures will be available to purch­­ase from Saturday 9th November 2019, online at Unbox Industries: Red Edition / Blue Edition .

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.

Sculpted in London by ex-Madame Tussauds sculptors, these 15.7" / 40cm figure (which is about 2 1/2 times the size of a normal bobble head figure) are moulded in red and blue resin.

The black and silver figures, as previewed in Dangerous Minds, have both already sold out but other colorways will be available to purchase at Unbox Industries periodically.

The RED and BLUE editions are limited to 25 pieces in each colour and will go on sale on Saturday, 9th November for $250 (inclusive of shipping, tracked).
