IRON MAIDEN - Life-Size Bust Of Powerslave Edition Eddie Available

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Iron Maiden’s Powerslave with an appropriately monumental tribute to the classic metal masterpiece.

This life-size resin bust of Eddie from the cover art for the 1984 album is hand-painted for detail so realistic you can almost hear the chant of worshippers around you. The bust mounts to a sculpted display base embossed with Iron Maiden and Powerslave logos.

 

 

Over 20” tall, and strictly limited to 1,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide! Order at this location.

Iron Maiden has canned their Trooper beer in 500ml tins. Singer Bruce Dickinson designed and developed the ale with Martyn Weeks, the chief brewer at Stockport family firm Robinsons. Check out a canning video below:

The process begins with empty cans with no tops arriving from the production plant.

 

 

The cans go through a rinsing process, and then get filled with Trooper. Once the cans are filled and have their tops on, they take a run through the pasturiser to make sure your beer stays lovely. They get their best before date and other random numbers printed on the bottom, and are flipped over ready for grouping into 4s, and then into 24 packs. The cases are then shrink-wrapped, palletised, and ready for shipping. This initial order is bound for the USA.

 

 

Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson recently explained the advantages of cans over bottles to the Manchester Evening News; an excerpt follows: “Firstly cans are easier to recycle, require less packaging, get colder quicker and take up less space in your fridge," he said. "Secondly, cans don't break or smash, meaning they can be taken to venues, sporting events, campgrounds, beaches, and music festivals, where glass is not typically allowed. Thirdly, aluminium cans are excellent protection against light and oxygen - beer’s biggest enemies, so your drink tastes fresher longer."
