Toy manufacturer Funko have announced that they’ll release Funko Pop Vinyl figures of Metallica on August 31.
The miniature versions of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo stand at 3 ¾ inches and come in a window display box featuring the band’s logo. Each figure is presented with their own instrument, with Ulrich clutching a pair of drumsticks.
Metallica join a long list of rock stars to be given the Funko Pop! Rocks treatment, with Guns N’ Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Johnny Rotten, Dee Dee and Johnny Ramone and Babymetal figures all previously released.
The four figures are now available for pre-order either through Metallica’s website or via Funko.
Metallica are currently on the road on the North American leg of their WorldWired tour in support of 10th studio album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct. They’ll then head to Europe in September and have dates planned deep into 2018.
