Born in Lexington, MA in 1729, John Parker was raised in the Bay State, ultimately leading the Colonial militia against the British forces at Lexington and Concord in 1775.
The 54mm resin figure initially debuted in 2013 as a character figure in the Lexington Green Playset from Ron Barzso.
As he and the seventy or so militiamen waited for the British regulars, Parker is to have said "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here".
