Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have been rocking steady since 1975 with their signature sound and visuals. With the release of their fifteenth studio album next month - The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden mania takes to new heights as the band explores a cool new sci-fi theme. Check out the new video for El Dorado HERE (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=105822368#pm_cmp=vid_OEV_P_P).

A favorite band of NECA's Head of Product Development Randy Falk, Iron Maiden will see new collectibles released in late 2010/ 2011 in the form of wearable latex costume masks, resin busts and action figures. The former will debut just in time for Halloween with a Piece of Mind Eddie mask (pictured above). A life-size resin bust of Piece of Mind Eddie will follow later in the year. The release schedule will then alternate between latex mask and bust with the following Eddies: Power Slave, Final Frontier and Killers.

On the action figure front, Killers will mark the first release this November. An all-new Iron Maiden figure from NECA, Killers Eddie will be followed in 2011 by three all-new Eddie figure sculpts, including one from Final Frontier. Previously released Iron Maiden figures from NECA will also see a re-release, including Piece of Mind and Somewhere in Time Eddies.
