Never one to shy away from ambitious vinyl projects, legendary artist Gary Baseman‘s latest collaboration with The Loyal Subjects, the Buckingham Warrior, is shaping up to become one of his most lavish creations yet. Standing at a mighty 12″ tall, the multi-headed figure comes with a bevy of beautifully sculpted details, a selection of curious accessories, and a whopping 8 points of articulation.
Initially dropping in the green Wolyner Forrest Warrior colourway, the first edition has been limited to 400 pieces worldwide, and will be available to pre-order exclusively from the Loyal Subjects on Wednesday, February 22nd at Noon PST for just $115 plus shipping…
This legendary deer’s story begins in the Woylner Forest where a once idyllic life with his fellow creatures is violently upset by a tyrannical land baron and his men’s efforts to occupy and subjugate the forest. In an act of ultimate resistance, the deer regrows his head and several others after being decapitated in battle, and in so doing so becomes the Buckingham Warrior. Inspired in part by Baseman’s father’s experience of Holocaust survival, the Buckingham Warrior defends not only the forest and the natural world but in a broader context tradition, culture, and ways of life from forces of intolerance and evil. He represents and protects precious ideals such as respect, dignity and freedom on multiple levels. -press/VinylPulse
