KnuckleBonz is excited to unveil a limited edition sculpture
of Jimmy Page depicted just as he appeared on stage in Chicago
in 1977. The new Jimmy Page II “Stormtrooper” Rock Iconz figure is sculpted in resin by a team of skilled artists, then hand-painted in fine detail. He stands approx. 9” tall
on top a resin & wood display base.
This is a limited-edition created by the
craftspeople at KnuckleBonz and there are only 3000 available worldwide. Also included is a KnuckleBonz certificate of authenticity. This is an officially licensed product from Jimmy Page and Bravado International. Pairs beautifully with the Marshall Full Stack sculpture, also available here as a limited-edition collectible.
The Jimmy Page II “Stormtrooper” Rock Iconz® figure is a fully licensed,
limited edition collectible. The figure is hand-painted and numbered and comes
with a certificate of authenticity. This sculpture is licensed and personally
approved by Jimmy Page.
The “Stormtrooper” is the second sculpture of Jimmy Page created in a
limited edition by KnuckleBonz. The first figure was released in 2007 and
featured Page in his white “poppy” dragon suit and violin bow held high
overhead (also available - click here to see this item).
Jimmy Page took the stage in Chicago on April 10, 1977 (the last of their 4
dates at the Chicago Stadium and the next night after having to cut a
performance short due to Page’s falling ill from food poisoning) with his
majestic double neck guitar slung and ready for action as the house lights
dimmed. By this time in his career, the mere sight of this instrument mesmerized
fans as it served as the driving force behind live performances of classics
like "Stairway to Heaven," "The Rain Song" and "The
Song Remains the Same." However, on this night fans would witness a true
one of a kind moment in rock music. As the set erupted, fans were greeted by a
dark figure astride stage left. With scarf flowing, Jimmy assumed the persona
of "The Stormtrooper" to pilot the Zeppelin mothership for this
single performance. Once a few photographs of this concert exist today, but the
image of Page on this night was instantly etched into music history as one of
our most enigmatic Rock Iconz®. 
#9 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 2003 list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time", British guitar legend Jimmy Page was also twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first as a member of The Yardbirds (1966-68, replacing Eric Clapton and, for a while, playing along-side Jeff Beck) and then as a member of Led Zeppelin (formerly, The New Yardbirds).
