KnuckleBonz Announces QUEEN II Collectible Statues for 2023

KnuckleBonz®, the world-famous creators of high-end and hand-crafted collectibles for Music SuperFans, announced today with Bravado the production of the new Limited Edition Queen II Rock Iconz® Statue Set (Set of 4). Only 3,000 statues of each Queen band member will be crafted using a fine-arts process, making these highly collectible. Each statue is cast, painted, and numbered on the base with a certificate of authenticity – all by hand. Work created by KnuckleBonz is officially licensed and approved by the artists and their management.

The collectible statue set includes Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon performing during their first US tour in support of the new “Sheer Heart Attack” album in 1974/1975. Sheer Heart Attack was the third studio album by the British rock band. It featured more pop-centric and conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the “classic” Queen sound.

“This is the statue set I have wanted to create ever since we founded KnuckleBonz 20 years ago,” said Tony Simerman, CEO & Founder of KnuckleBonz. “I was fortunate enough to see Queen during this era at the Kennedy Center in DC Feb of 75′. An amazing setting to see Queen as they began their ascent to become one of the greatest bands of all time.”

QUEEN A Night at The Odeon – The Before and After Moment

On December 24th, 1975 QUEEN recorded a live show at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in London. The was not released until 2015 and it’s a must listen and see for any QUEEN fan. The set is of course amazing with the first 2 albums featured heavily, but what is really captivating this show is the “before and after” moment for the band. They had peaked at #12 on the US Charts with Sheer Hear Attack and have just released the A Night at the Opera album. Bohemian Rhapsody is featured in a melody of song snippets with no particular fanfare, giving no hint of how the lives of the band would change over the next year. Once A Night at the Opera and the mania of Bohemian Rhapsody takes hold, QUEEN is not longer that super cool progressive rock band that early fans had to themselves….they become one of the biggest recording/live acts in the world. A bitter sweet before and after moment for the fans that were there at the beginning.

KnuckleBonz is currently working with QUEEN and are coming to the end of our initial Rock Iconz Statues for the band. As you know, all KnuckleBonz work are officially licensed limited edition. Check out Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon  circa 1982 here.

We are beginning to design the new QUEEN Rock Iconz statues for tentative release late in 2022. KnuckleBonz is thinking of going back to this QUEEN A Night at The Odeon era for inspiration. Sound off here and let us know what QUEEN fans would like to see.

Rock Hard!

RIP Mick Rock – The Photographer Who Fell to Earth

Photographer Mick Rock was rock…as much part of the music scene and industry of the 70s and beyond as any musician or performer. 

Mick Rock said that he stumbled into photography and had no real understanding that it could be a career. A lot like many of the performers in the early days of rock and popular music. Mick Rock and his photography are responsible for capturing live and candid moments of many of the greatest performers ever like David Bowie, Queen, Syd Barrett, Joan Jett and Debbie Harry. His QUEEN II cover photo is one of the most iconic in music. Mick Rock died today at 72, but like the music we all dig, he lives on forever in his work….

For us at KnuckleBonz, the visual aspects of music are equally important as the music itself. It the only reason we are company focused on creating for Superfans like you. Great images like the photos of Mick Rock are the rocket fuel that will propel us everyday…RIP MICK ROCK

Check out some of Muck Rock’s subjects here in the Rock Iconz and 3D Vinyl Collectible Series at www.KnuckleBonz.com
