Metallica's Kirk Hammet Bringing Exclusive Toys to SDCC


   


     Kirk Hammet is living the life you wish you had. He's the lead guitarist in the biggest metal band in the world, he surrounds himself with every iconic horror movie prop he can get his hands on, and...and...what other proof do you need?  Oh, he has his own horror convention and his own toy company, which will feature some exclusive releases at San Diego Comic Con.  Not only will you get a sweet figure out of the deal, but buying one of them will give you the opportunity to meet the man himself.  If you're real nice he may help you figure out why you just can't quite nail the opening to "Master of Puppets."  But probably not, though.  

    Take a look at this graphic for more info on the people he's sharing a booth with including Nuclear Blast Records, Stern Pinball, and JSR Merchandising.  I want those Metallica and WWE pinball machines.  And that GWAR shirt.  And the toys.  I just want everything!

Nosferatu Resin Figure from Super7 x Kirk Hammet



    I haven't been to a horror convention in quite awhile because to be honest, they can get a bit stale.  You see the same vendors, the same actors, blah blah blah. But what's this you say?  Kirk Hammet from Metallica has put together his own convention that not only features horror movie stars, but bands such as Carcass, Orchid, and Death Angel playing?  Now you've got my attention.  The game has been upped when it comes to Kirk von Hammet's Fear Festevil that takes place this weekend in San Francisco.  He also got local toy makers Super7 in on it with this Nosferatu resin figure.  This was designed to resemble the old Monster Soakies that were filled with bubble bath way back when.  While this dude won't help you clean away your man funk, he will look pretty cool sitting on your shelf.  This prototype edition of the figure is limited to 50 pieces, comes in a gift box, and Kirk will be available at the event to sign them for you.  If you're in the San Francisco area check out the event at http://www.fearfestevil.com/.
