Origin and background of the character
Guitarist Kirk Hammett is one of the key figures in Metallica, the legendary band founded in 1981 that revolutionised and popularised the thrash and heavy metal genres on an international scale. He joined the band in 1983, just before the recording of the iconic album *Kill ‘Em All*, and has established himself as one of rock’s most influential guitarists thanks to his incisive riffs, his iconic use of the wah-wah pedal and his memorable solos.
This specific design draws direct inspiration from the band’s visual identity and the outfits they wore during the promotion and world tour for their 2023 hit album, 72 Seasons. This vinyl figurine faithfully captures his stage presence, instrument in hand, ready to bring the raw energy of metal concerts and a touch of rock nostalgia to the shelves of passionate collectors.
