Iron Studios presents the first Maiden statue!
Emerging from the trunk of a sinister dead tree, under the pale moonlight, a Nosferatu-like creature made of vegetation with eyes red as fire and a mouth full of sharp teeth appears. With long arms extending like branches, hands, and fingers shaped like claws, legs covered in tendrils, and feet resembling roots blending into the dry wood, the monster rises from a base of stone bricks, emerging from an ancient well that leads into the depths of the unknown. Just as darkness brings fear of the unknown, Iron Studios proudly brings its first piece inspired by the album art of one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time: the "Fear of the Dark” Eddie -Iron Maiden -Deluxe ArtScale1/10" statue, featuring the eerie zombie mascot of the legendary band inspired by the cover of the ninth studio album.
Eddie, also known as Eddie the Head, is the mascot of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He is a permanent fixture in the band's artwork, appearing on all the album covers, singles, and marketing products including t-shirts, posters, and action figures. Eddie is a special presence at all the band's shows and is the main character in the first-person shooter video game Ed Hunter, the RPG Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, and a 2018 pinball game. His origin stems from a papier-mâché mask used on the band's early stage backdrops. According to Steve Harris, the band's founding member and bassist, the name Eddie came from the original mask being called "The Head," which sounded like "Ead" in the band members' London accents. The name Eddie from the mask was transferred to an illustration created by Derek Riggs, which became the cover of the band's first album. Riggs exclusively produced Eddie's art until 1992, portraying Eddie related to the themes of each album, single, or tour, where the iconic zombie appears as a Crimean War soldier (The Trooper), a lobotomized mental patient(Piece of Mind), a World War II pilot(Aces High), an Egyptian mummy(Powerslave), a cyborg warrior(Somewhere in Time), among others. In 1992, the band decided to accept contributions from other artists, in a sort of contest to choose the cover to update Eddie for the '90s. The chosen one was English illustrator Melvyn Grant, who first drew Eddie for the Fear of the Dark cover.
After receiving a teaser on World Rock Day, Iron Studios brings its first status to Iron Maiden symbol character, expanding its line of music icon-derived franchises. Presented on the Inside Iron Studios Day of July, the monthly show on the official YouTube channel showcasing upcoming Iron Studios releases.
