RANDY RHOADS Collectible Figure Due In October - June 19, 2004
KnuckleBonz, Inc. has announced plans to create the Randy Rhoads sculpture for the Guitar Hero limited edition collectible figure series. The Rhoads estate has licensed the rights to Randy's image and likeness, which permits the company to create this hi-end, limited edition resin sculpture. The figure is scheduled for release in October of 2004, with pre-ordering available late this summer.
Randy Rhoads is considered to be one of the most talented and influential rock guitarists of all time. His work on the first two platinum selling OZZY OSBOURNE solo albums is legendary. Rhoads' combination of metal chops and classical mastery earned him a special place in rock history.
"We are honored to be working with the Rhoads family to create a unique piece of artwork that will commemorate Randy's incredible career as one of rock's finest and most talented guitarists," says Tony Simerman, President and Creative Director of KnuckleBonz, Inc. "I was lucky enough to see Randy perform just before his passing. I started this company because of my personal desire to collect hi-end, music-based sculpture and have a passion to see that the Randy Rhoads figure is something that will excite his thousands of fans the world over."
The Randy Rhoads collectible will be created using a skilled team of artists to sculpt a remarkable likeness of the guitarist, cast the figure in a poly-resin material and then hand-paint each figure in fine detail. All figures in the Guitar Hero series are limited editions and the Randy Rhoads figure will be very exclusive with only 3,000 pieces slated for final production.
KnuckleBonz, Inc. also recently announced its licensing agreement with Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, which permits the company to portray Randy Rhoads with his signature white Jackson offset-V guitar.
"We are excited about the opportunity to display Randy's image in such an artistic manner," states Ms. Delores Rhoads, mother of Randy Rhoads. "We are only interested in projects that will promote Randy's legacy as a musician and artist. This series will do just that. "
The Randy Rhoads Guitar Hero limited edition sculpture will be available in October 2004 for $99 and can be purchased via www.guitarhero.net. Pre-orders will be accepted late summer 2004. See the company's web site for further details on pre-ordering, ordering and return policy information.
