It took a few listens especially the first half, but I now enjoy most of it, even the jazzy stuff!

Is is except you wouldn’t know it was him if not for the stage get up. They should’ve done an 80’s Ronnie. They missed the mark on this one.

Yeah, just seeing that sitting around I'd have no idea who it was supposed to represent.

Maybe they're planning figures for all the band members so you can have better context?

Haha, maybe! When they come out with the Jimmy Bain figure, we'll see :)

I doubt that very much. Maybe they’ll do a Black Sabbath Ronnie version and Dio solo version though.

Well the same thing has been with all the other characters they've done...they look nothing like the people they supposed to be...I'm thinking it's intentionally stupid.

That can be true but most of the time there’s an identifying feature on the face or head, then finished off with the clothing. This Ronnie one looks like it could be anyone and they’ve just slapped on Rainbow era clothing.

Well Ronnie really didn't have any identifying features on his face as he didn't have a beard or mustache or anything...They did add his trademark horns though.

But honestly the only one of these figurines I've seen that is instantly recognizable is Lemmy....all the others could basically just be anyone....which is why I don't understand these things at all.

Yeah maybe the hair could’ve been closer to the mark. As for the horns, it’s an obvious trait with Ronnie, only thing is, he didn’t use the horns in Rainbow.

Maybe this is why some collectors just keep them in the box, so they have some context...

Interesting interview with Vinny Appice regarding the business side of the original band and Vivian being irreplaceable. I agree with him that Dio’s solo career went downhill after Vivian was fired.
