The figure stands seven inches tall, and is housed in a clear plastic clamshell, presented in a windowed display box. Only 1,000 numbered figures were produced, and my guess is that they will go fast.

Aggronautix have discovered a very cool niche market to honor their favorite punks. Sales seem to be doing well, as Roky is their 11th Throbblehead since the first (GG Allin) back in 2009. I have seen Throbbleheads in various record stores, who I always support, but you might want to check out Aggronautix .The site not only features the figures, but also some hard-to-find punk vinyl, DVDs, and assorted items.

I hope Roky Erickson enjoys this latest tribute. My advice is to set your Throbblehead right next to your turntable, so Roky’s head can bounce along to the Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators or Easter Everywhere . Just be careful who you are passing that joint around to.
