Gary Baseman x TLS – Buckingham Warrior Kostopol Edition (6.15)

001-kostopol1

Following up the release of  Gary Baseman’s Buckingham Warrior figure in the debut Wolyner Forest Edition, The Loyal Subjects is about to release the 2nd edition of Baseman’s very personal project.  The figure concept intersects with the Baseman family’s personal history of persecution by and resistance of the forces of Nazi Germany during WWII. The three-headed character represents the importance of depending the oppressed – wherever and whenever.  Each of the Buckingham Warrior editions honors a city in which Baseman’s family lived during the persecution. 

The Kostopol Warrior pays homage to Baseman’s mother’s home town of Kostopol, Ukraine (then Poland) which was ravaged by Nazi forces.   The ice-blue warrior serves as protector of those in the harm’s way of winter. Limited to 250 pieces,  Gary Baseman’s Kostopol Buckingham Warrior will be released on Friday, June 15th @ Noon PDT from theloyalsubjects.com for $120.
