New Guns N’ Roses Figures To Be Released Soon!

A poster in the MYGNRFORUM posted some photos of new Guns N’ Roses figures that are apparently coming out soon. The company behind the figures is called Knucklebonz. The poster may have some insider knowledge as the company website doesn’t have these figures on their page, but a YouTuber who attended the New York City Toy Fair this year got some footage of the Guns N’ Roses figures below. Their only appears to be Axl, Slash and Duff figurines and an Appetite for Destruction cross with the original five members.

The company behind the figures makes a collector series of famous rock stars and logos from bands including Billy Idol, Motörhead, KISS, Megadeth, Nirvana, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top and of course Guns N’ Roses. Below are some of their creations that cost around $125.00 US a piece. That’s a hell of a lot more expensive than the FUNKO POPS which set me back around $12 or so per figure. You can visit the company website here.

The company did release a Slash action figure years ago. No release date has been set for these new figures. We’ll keep you guys updated as more information comes out.

In the meantime check out my review of the Guns N’ Roses Funko POPS below. Also you guys may remember that Gibson the guitar maker is suing Funko POPS over unauthorized usage of their products on the figures. It was also revealed recently that Gibson is possibly facing bankruptcy.

Gibson Suing Funko over Unauthorized Use of Their Guitars

According to Bleeding Cool” Funko, the manufacturer of the popular vinyl toy line Funko POP, is being sued by guitar manufacturer Gibson over what they see as the unauthorized use of their guitars designs on POPs of rock stars.”

Gibson has trademarked the shape of their guitars. They are not the only guitar company to do so (Fender has done the same.) If a company uses guitars that represent those trademarked shapes without permission, it can spell legal trouble.

Funko has created various vinyl toy pops featuring Guns N’ Roses members Slash, Axl Rose and Duff McKagan. Metallica members James Hetfield, Kirt Hammett and KISS Members Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley have been represented on Funko’s line of vinyl figures.

The claim from Gibson names specific action figures including Slash, Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley, Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield. These figures have guitars accompanying them. If Gibson is successful in their lawsuit it could mean these figures maybe disappearing from shelves very soon.
