The Loyal Subjects x Gary Baseman - The "Kostopol Warrior" vinyl figure... in Blue!

Back in January of 2011, we posted up a photo HERE of Adam from The Loyal Subjects posing for an interview... and in the foreground there were some new, yet to be revealed, figures from Gary Baseman... and then the Loyal Subjects released the "Buckingham Warrior" that we covered HERE, now... Gary and TLS are back with a new, chilling blue and white version of this figure dubbed the "Kostopol Warrior". The story behind the creation of this figure is very compelling... and deserves a mention, Gary says:

"The Buckingham Warrior is an extension of the very DNA which comprises Gary Baseman. The allegoric and somewhat fabled character is inspired from the real world deeds of his father, Ben Baseman - a local resistance fighter in WWII, thwarting back pockets of Nazi storm troopers. Kostopol is the name of the town in what was Poland, now the Ukraine, where Baseman's mother was born. She, along with very few others from Kostopol survived the horrors of the Nazi occupancy.

Gary Baseman has created the Buckingham Warrior in celebration of the souls who survived and those who fought for inherent truths and moral certitude. A true hero for the ages!"

It is impressive in size, measuring in at 12" tall this spiky fella features several points of articulation (including the adjoining heads, arms and legs), and comes packaged in a closed, satin finished box. This "Blue" edition is the second to drop and will be limited to only 250 pieces worldwide and will retail for $120 a piece. These are going to go up for sale HERE on Friday, June15th at Noon PST.
