Motorhead frontman Lemmy is being immortalized this fall with his own, limited-edition Rock Iconz statue by KnuckleBonz, who are updating fans on the project.
“Lemmy Rock Iconz Statue - Final Color Pics... Approved by Lemmy and management,” posted KnuckleBonz.
The Lemmy statue stands approximately 9" tall and is hand-painted with the iconic Warpig logo sculpted on the base of the collectible.
Only 1000 Lemmy Rock Iconz are being created and sold worldwide; the statue will start shipping next month and will be available internationally in early 2014.
Lemmy Rock Iconz is available for pre-order now here.
"Lemmy has done something few musicians have," says Tony Simerman, president and creative director of KnuckleBonz, Inc. "Motorhead's fusion of punk into hard rock was the original speed that excited audiences and blurred the lines such that loyal fans did not care about defining the music into a category; it was just 'Motorhead.'"
Motorhead recently released their new album, “Aftershock.”
The project is charting around the world, including the States where it recently scored the band’s highest US chart position in their’s 38-year history, debuting at No. 22 on the Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 11,000 copies.
