Eddie in a snow globe. Eddie in a straightjacket inside a snow globe. Eddie in a straightjacket inside a snow globe, where the base is designed to resemble the padded walls of an asylum. Yes, really. And it’s wonderful.
This officially licensed Iron Maiden Piece of Mind Snow Globe from Nemesis Now is one of the most distinctive and inventive pieces in the entire Iron Maiden collectibles range. At 17.5cm, it features the band’s iconic mascot in a pose lifted directly from the Piece of Mind album artwork — arms restrained by a straightjacket, chains adding further emphasis, leaning forward with a stare that makes the straightjacket feel somewhat inadequate as a containment measure.
The glass globe sits atop a padded base designed to evoke the asylum setting of the Piece of Mind era. The whole composition is faithful to the album’s imagery while translating brilliantly into the snow globe format — a piece that manages to be simultaneously an impressive collectible and a genuinely unusual object.
The resin figure inside is cast and hand-painted to the same collector standard as the rest of the Nemesis Now Iron Maiden range. The glass globe is clear and well-made. The total effect — Eddie staring out at you through glass, chains and straightjacket in place, surrounded by swirling snow against the padded base — is something that you will not find anywhere else.
As an iron maiden gift this is exceptional for the person who already has everything from the standard range. It’s distinctive, memorable, and sits in a category entirely of its own. As Iron Maiden memorabilia it represents the Piece of Mind era with real imagination.
Eddie. Straightjacket. Snow globe. Yes, really.
