Collector Hub Proudly Presents The Buffalo Solider and Tuskegee Airman Figurines, Limited Editions In Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions Collection
Why wait for Black History Month to celebrate the contributions of Black Americans? The Buffalo Soldier and the Tuskegee Airman tell the true story of courage, strength and tenacity at a time when others doubted their patriotism.
- (1888PressRelease) July 14, 2010 - Ripon, CA- The excitement is building over the anticipated release of Thomas Blackshear's Buffalo Soldier figurine, masterfully created in Blackshear's signature style. Handsomely detailed and signed by Thomas Blackshear, the figurine honors the outstanding contributions made by these African-American soldiers for nearly a century. Collectors of African-American art, historical figurines and Thomas Blackshear's fine arts, collectibles and home décor will want to place orders now at Collector Hub to ensure ownership of this limited edition collectible-shipping begins August, 2010.
The Buffalo Soldier will long be remembered as the first all black regiment in the regular U.S. Army. Fierce warriors in battle, the Buffalo Soldiers earned their name from their opponents, the Indians, during the late 1800's. Maintained as a separate regiment until 1951, the service of the Buffalo Soldier coincided with that of the Tuskegee Airman, the first black airmen who fought during WWII. A handsome rendition of this brave fighter, The Tuskegee Airman Limited Edition figurine is in stock and ready for shipment at Collector Hub.
"If anticipation is any predictor, then the Buffalo Soldier figurine will most likely become a hot collectible," says Larraine Covington, Community Director of Collector Hub. "As with the Tuskegee Airman and The Soldier, Blackshear's military figurines have been highly sought after for their significance in African-American history."
Both the Buffalo Soldier and The Tuskegee Airman figurines are part of the Ebony Visions™ Collection, a heart-felt creation that is Blackshear's greatest artistic acclaim to date. Each piece in the collection portrays the African-American way of life in a whole new respect that has never been attempted before. Blackshear's cast of colorful characters symbolizes a lasting lesson in history. Artistically detailed, each figurine will add a positive influence to any home and encourage interest in the heritage and culture of the African-American.
