It looks like the figure from that mobile phone/internet advert that was on TV about 18 months ago.....
It sounded like a reving motorbike with a frog noise combined if u remember the soundtrack for the advert.
Was it a TPG advert ? 
Yeah it was the Crazy Frog, most annoying thing on the planet!
They artwork is by a guy called Dirty Donny he did the artwork for the original Metallica pinball
He hasn't done album covers or anything like that, Metallica just liked his art and asked him to do 15 pieces for them, and now obviously he is also doing the new artwork.
Here is a little info on him and halfway down his dealings with Metallica http://www.gravyzine.com/Dirty%20Donny.html
Thanks for that i was wondering where the design came from.
Toys on this look great, will be interesting to see it finished.
