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.

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 !

Ozzy Osbourne Forced to Finally Stop Touring – A Day We Thought Would Never Come…

Woke up this AM to a heart felt note from the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne on his official Instagram account to learn that he has had to cancel his upcoming UK/European tour because of health reasons. He emphasized his voice is doing great, he’s just not able to take on the rigors and travel of a multi-city tour. A day all Black Sabbath and Ozzy fans thought would never come. Any true Ozzy fan knows how much he loves touring and performing.

Other than short term health issues, Ozzy has been on the road since the original Black Sabbath Shows in late 1969.  He had the cancel the final dates of his last world solo tour a few years ago. That really sucked because we had great seats for that show at the Shoreline in the SF Bay Area.  Stone Sour was the opener and he were actually on the way to show when that news dropped. Still remember the gut punch…

What Ozzy Osbourne fans can hope for is perhaps a residency in Las Vegas that has lots of great venues and removes the demands of touring travel. Rest up Prince of Darkness and let us know when you are ready…we will ALL be there!

This emphasizes the importance for all Superfans to get out there and see the great bands you love anytime you have a chance. You never know when the music will stop…

Do check out our KnuckleBonz Black Sabbath Ltd. Edition Statue set currently in production. The entire original band Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward is in production for a Summer 2023 release.

Rock Hard Kbonz!

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.

Rock Hard!
