This is the new limited edition Knucklebonz figure of RR.I'm not really a collector of figures but i think this is a BAD attempt.Considering that i have seen this company make some really good life like figures in the past and these are not cheap.

Indeed, I would say this is 'some guy" playing on Randy's guitar.
Everything is OK except the face, they could do alot better than that.

Both of the RR Knucklebonz look really ugly and not like Randy at all. It looks like something a 12 year old would make in art class.

This is what's quoted at the Knucklebonz site 'KnuckleBonz has created a second sculpture of Randy Rhoads in association with The Randy Rhoads Estate'.So i'm sure they will have some say to wether this is suitable for sale or not.I can see alot of people who have pre ordered this figure cancelling the order.I wouldn't pay $10 for this never mind $115.00..

+1

I've seen Metallica figures (complete with stage!) that are much closer than that Randy. Not sure who made them but they could probably create a much better Randy figure too.

When you look at the attention to detail and scale.The PDV is awesome and after putting that much effort into making that look so cool.The studs on the waistcoat are way too big.Face and hair just not even near, bring on that 12 year old sculpture Eh! Nic LOL!.I think they should of thought about his stage clothes these are very similar to the first figure. I think his all red leather waistcoat and trousers would of looked much better Sexy Leather!!! wolf whistle please.
