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\u00a0Fun House<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sculpted in London by ex-Madame Tussauds sculptors, this 15.7″ \/ 40cm figure (which is about 2 1\/2 times the size of a normal bobble head figure) is molded in silver<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The black figure, as previewed in\u00a0Dangerous Minds<\/a><\/em>, has already sold out but other colorways will be available to purchase\u00a0at\u00a0Unbox Industries<\/a>\u00a0periodically.<\/div>\n
