Amongst a number of new licenses announced by NECA at ToyFair was the fact that they had picked up an Iron Maiden license. Details were still being firmed up, but NECA did announce that they plan to release the following:
<ul type="square">[*]7? Action Figures Series based on the mascot ?Eddie?. Figures[*]Statues Based on 2 up of Action figures comes with signed certificate by all 6 members of the band.[*]18? Somewhere in Time Eddie with lights & movement.[/list]

full story here

Would have loved to see these come from TMP, but I do guess it is better than not getting any more at all. Just hope these are somewhat in par with Killers and Trooper. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

McF fucked up on this one, IMO.

Maiden fans(incl me)are nuts. almost as bad as KISS fans(incl me).

I don't give a fuck who makes it, as long as it's a decent fig. and if they don't make a Powerslave one(best lp, IMO), some heads are gonna roll....

If they are anywhere decent, I will be grabbing the 7" ones.

I just hope these come out on the better side of things.

But then again, TMP only said they would continue if sales were good on the figures.

We already know NECA doesn't base what they do on that criteria (Christmas Story, etc)

I kinda liked the Xmas Story stuff...
still gotta get the full sized leg lamp. that thing cracks me up.

and yeah, I'll only be going for the 7" stuff. the 18" figs just take up way too much space....

unless McF does an 18" Elvis. I'll be on that like Biohazard on a double cheeseburger. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Glad someone's doing them. I agree, as long as the Christmas Story sculptors are on Holiday...Well, at least the one who did the Mom & Randy..The Old Man wasn't that bad.

I really want "Live After Death" "Powerslave",
and " # of the Beast".
I have the 18" Art Asylum "Number" figure, but a 7" could be cool too.
