NewsBLITZ: GG ALLIN & TESCO VEE MEMENTOS

Fans of GG Allin and the Meatmen's Tesco Vee can now collect limited-edition "Throbblehead" figurines of their heroes thanks to Aggronautix (along with MVD Entertainment Group and DKE Toys).

Each "Throbblehead" is 7-inches tall, individually numbered, made of lightweight polyresin and comes in a tri-windowed box. There are 2,000 of the GG Allin "1991" figurines available and only 1000 of the Tesco Vee figures.

The feces- and blood-splattered GG Allin figure has been approved by his brother, Merle Allin. "I had been thinking about doing a GG figure for a while, so when the guys [at Aggronautix] came to me with the idea, I was into it," he says. "We got it right—the doll looks really good and I'm happy with it."

And how does Tesco Vee feel about his collectible? "As a toy collector of two decades—and classic bobble head collector—imagine just how geeked I became when informed that yours truly would enter the pantheon of 'Throbblehead' punk rock losers along with poopy soulmate GG Allin."

To purchase either or both of these $14.95 "Throbbleheads," visit Aggronautix.com.
