FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 24, 2023:

KnuckleBonz® along with Bravado announced earlier this year its plans to produce the Black Sabbath (Set of 4) figure collectibles from 1975 era in a limited edition. Now the company announces its plans to create additional iconic Black Sabbath collectible statues for the 3D Vinyl® collectibles line. 3D Vinyl® captures the great album art of the last several decades in a fine arts collectible that is hand-cast and uniquely numbered. KnuckleBonz® Limited Edition Statues of The Black Sabbath (Witch) and the Never Say Die (Pilot) 3D Vinyl collectible statues just dropped.

Pre-Order Now at https://knucklebonz.com/product-category/black-sabbath

These iconic designs are inspired by the haunting beauty of the Witch from the cover of Black Sabbath’s
1970 debut album and the Doomsday Pilot of the 1978 Never Say Die album cover. These designs are
now offered in the 3D Vinyl® series from KnuckleBonz.

The Black Sabbath Collectible Statues are crafted by hand using a fine-arts process where each figure is
hand-painted, numbered, and comes with a certificate of authenticity on the base. These are limited
edition statues, making these highly collectible. “Growing up, I must have spent thousands of hours going over all the details of every Black Sabbath album cover and record sleeve. It’s how we all connected with the band on a daily basis,” says Tony Simerman CEO/Creative Director of KnuckleBonz, Inc. “These images are as important today as ever. So excited to see them come alive in the KnuckleBonz 3D Vinyl Collector Series.”

All work created by the company is officially licensed and approved by the artists and their management. KnuckleBonz, the creator of the Rock Iconz® music collectible series, has been developing iconic, high- quality statues of the legend of rock music since 2003.

The Black Sabbath 3D Vinyl statues sell individually for $164 each or can be purchased as a set (bundle
of 2 statues) for $295 USD for a limited time offer. Each statue ships in a custom package and ships
worldwide. These highly exclusive, limited edition collectibles are now available for pre-order to reserve.
The anticipated ship date is Fall 2023; however, KnuckleBonz will announce a more precise shipping
timeframe later this year. Stay tuned to knucklebonz.com in the coming weeks for updates.

53 Years Ago, Black Sabbath Changed Us Forever with Their Debut Album

53 years hence, the direction of rock music made a seismic shift with the release of Black Sabbath’s self titled debut album. While their was plenty of heavy music in place at that time, I think we can all agree, this was the big bang for metal.

This 1970 record was so gloomy and doomy, like nothing any of us had ever heard. With Iommi’s amazing riffs, Geezer’s lyrics and thundering bass lines, Bill Wards powerful swing influenced drumming and Ozzy Osbourne immediately spawned as the “Price of Darkness,” it’s still the most seminal moment we can remember in our music Superfandom here at KnuckleBonz. We still get chills when we hear Ozzy’s evil laugh and screams during the title track Black Sabbath. Drop the needle of this today and be taken back to 1970. There was no “flower power, peace and love” in sight for the boys from Birmingham England.

KnuckleBonz® has been hard at work in our 3D Vinyl® Series and very soon we will drop (2) Black Sabbath Ltd. Edition Statues design for our 3DV Series. Stay tuned here for details Coming Soon!

Do check out our KnuckleBonz Black Sabbath Ltd. Edition Statue set here for Pre-Order. Production is going well and will wrap up soon. Don’t Miss Out !

KnuckleBonz punches a “Hole in the Sky” w/ new Black Sabbath Statue Set

KnuckleBonz punches a “Hole in the Sky” w/ new Black Sabbath Statue Set.

Such and exciting day here at KnuckleBonz as we roll out our Black Sabbath Rock Iconz Ltd. Edition Statue Set.  We have hand-cast and detailed the entire original band from circa 1975.

When we put the first castings of the Sabbath statues on our lighted stage for the promo video shoot last week, we all got chills. Looking thru the preview monitor if was like watching Black Sabbath live in 1975 on Don Kirshers’s Rock Concert. If you were there for that era of rock music, you had to tune in to  ABC “In Concert” or Don Kirshner’s “Rock Concert” for the chance to see anything live other than going to a show.

The entire original Black Sabbath lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward have all been hand cast and detailed in the KnuckleBonz Rock Iconz style. Each statue stands approximately 9 inches tall. All ship in their own color packing in early 2023.

“Due to the sheer magnitude and importance of Black Sabbath, these figures will only be sold together as a complete set.”

Pre Order the KnuckleBonz Black Sabbath Limited Edition Rock Iconz Statue set here.

Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath Star Crossed on Sept 18th, 1970

September 18th 1970 is a one of the most star-crossed days in rock music history. On this day, the original wave of guitar heroes crashed with the death of Jimi Hendrix; although many would argue Hendrix was a tsunami on his own. Sept 18th 1970 also marked the advent of what we now know as “metal” with the release of the seminal Black Sabbath record Paranoid.

By all accounts, Jimi Hendrix was at a transitional point in 1970, living in London with some sincere doubt about the recording industry and where he wanted to take his career. While there have always been questions and doubts, there has never been any information to say Jimi’s death was anything but a tragic mistake with sleep medication.

We recognize Paranoid was the 2nd record for “Brummies” Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, but the tracks on the record speak for themselves. After this release, Sabbath shifted gears and begin to tour worldwide as a headliner, and enjoying their only real radio play from that era with the single Paranoid. Drop the needle on that record now, it immediately transports you to an amazing time in music, but it also holds up so well. Any band would give body parts to have their name on that album today.

We currently have 2 different KnuckleBonz Jimi Hendrix Ltd. Editions Statues that are still available to our website. Check out Hendrix from the Hear That Train a Comin’ and Woodstock eras here.

Later this fall we will announce our 1st ever Black Sabbath KnuckleBonz Rock Iconz Statue set taking you back to circa 1975. Stay tuned here on official socials media for pre-sale information.
