Iggy Pop: New Statuette

A company called Wax Face Toys is launching a new series of resin and vinyl pop culture statuettes. The first one is of Iggy Pop, in a shirtless pose taken from his memorable appearance on the nationally televised 1970 “Midsummer Rock” concert in Cincinnati.

Last month marked the 49th anniversary of the infamous “peanut butter incident” at Crosley Field. With a position taken from an Iggy and the Stooges concert at the Cincinnati Pop Festival on June 13th 1970, this resin figure captures Iggy hoisted high by an adoring audience in his iconic shirtless pose, seconds before smearing peanut butter all over his chest and throwing it into the crowd as The Stooges ripped through “1970” from Fun House.
