Check out the gorgeous first colorway of The Messenger resin figure from Munky King and kaNO! Inspired by Colin Kaepernick and the #TakeAKnee movement, the Clear Edition The Messenger will be released this weekend at MunkyKing.com for $200 just in time for the NFL’s Super Bowl LII. This 6.5” figure was cast as a single piece of crystal clear resin for a flawless finish. Limited to only 50 pieces, The Blot’s got a feeling this figure is going to sell out quick!
As Munky King explained, “Football players often take a knee when someone suffers a severe injury on the field. An enduring expression of empathy amidst the combative intensity of the game. Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the National Anthem in solidarity with African American victims of police brutality. His call for empathy was met with angry vitriol from a polarized society. His message co-opted by powerful interests to serve their own agendas. But his call for social justice endures through the iconic image of taking a knee - a solemn testament to the injury of those denied the equal humanity which lies at the core of America’s ideals.”
