Ronnie James Dio II Rock Iconz statue unveiled



KnuckleBonz have unveiled the Ronnie James Dio II Rock Iconz statue, the second limited-edition collectible created by the company.

The new Dio statue stands approximately 9" tall and is hand-painted and numbered.

Only 1000 Dio II statues will be produced in this limited-edition run, which follows the 2010 release of the first tribute to the late singer who died of stomach cancer in May of 2010.

The Dio II Rock Iconz statue comes with a certificate of authenticity and is officially licensed through Niji Entertainment.

It is available for pre-order here.

This past spring, Dio released "Finding The Sacred Heart – Live In Philly 1986" on DVD and CD..

The band was filmed at The Spectrum in Philadelphia on June 17, 1986 during the second leg of the "Sacred Heart" tour, which featured new guitarist Craig Goldy.

The show was issued in an edited form first on VHS and then DVD. Now for the first time, the full concert has been released in the original running order, restored from the original 16mm film and with remastered sound.
