Iron Maiden: The Trooper Eddie Premium Format Figure by Sideshow

“The bugle sounds, the charge begins…“

The Iron Maiden: The Trooper Eddie Premium Format Figure takes the incomparable, iconic artwork from Iron Maiden’s 1983 single “The Trooper” and turns it into a fully realized, three-dimensional statue for Iron Maiden fans featuring one of the most iconic mascots in all of music. On this battlefield, no one wins — Eddie measures 19” tall and 18” wide dressed in wartime regalia, clutching a bloodied saber in one hand and a tattered Union Jack in the other. He races forward across a battlefield base littered with fallen comrades, a broken cannon wheel, and the promise of certain death.

With a vicious snarl on his face, Eddie’s monstrous, fully sculpted form features realistic costume detailing and cadaverous paint application to bring the celebrated icon to life. Everything from his frayed soldier uniform to the splintered handle of his spear-tipped flag is brutally war-torn and covered in the dust kicked up by the conflict. This collectible statue is an essential item for diehard Maiden fans, adding never-before-realized dimension and detail to the Iron Maiden Eddie artwork known the world over.

There’s no turning back — bring home the Iron Maiden: The Trooper Eddie Premium Format Figure for your shelf today.

Iron Maiden Powerslave Eddie Bust

The Iron Maiden: Powerslave Eddie Bust by Sideshow captures Eddie’s striking appearance on the Powerslave world tour book and merges it with the band’s iconic 1984 album cover art of the same title to create an electrifying tribute. A mummified version of the band’s mascot Eddie chomps down on the chains holding him captive while blue bolts of lightning spark between his clamped wrists. He strains against the power of death, mounted atop a pyramid base with ancient effigies and hieroglyphs marbled in polystone.

Prince Tribute Statue

The Prince Statue by Premium Collectibles Studio is sculpted with exceptional detail from head to toe, capturing the enduring appeal of The Artist in collectible format. His purple jacket features a metallic shine and silver accents on the buttons and shoulder, and the sleeves and long coattails are fully sculpted with drapes and folds giving the garment a lifelike look. He wears a ruffled white blouse beneath, with a unique paint application on the hands to emulate the look of delicate lace gloves. A long pair of black pants and high-heeled boots complete Prince’s unforgettable look as he rests one foot on the road in a moment of repose.
