Somewhere In Time gave Eddie a makeover that nobody saw coming and everybody remembers. The 1986 album transformed the band’s mascot into a futuristic cyborg — part human, part machine, all attitude — in a visual departure that remains one of the most striking in heavy metal’s aesthetic history. Nemesis Now has rendered that transformation in 29.8cm of hand-painted resin, and it’s one of the finest pieces in the Iron Maiden collectibles range.
This officially licensed Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time Bust from Nemesis Now captures Eddie in his cyborg incarnation with exceptional detail and fidelity. The mechanical elements of the design — the circuits, the futuristic modifications, the science-fiction aesthetic that defined the album — are all rendered in precise relief across a sculpt that rewards the kind of sustained attention you’d give a display in a gallery rather than a shelf in a living room.
Cast in the finest resin and expertly hand-painted by Nemesis Now’s artisans, the quality of this piece is exceptional. At 29.8cm it has the scale to reveal detail that smaller pieces can’t carry — the texture of Eddie’s mechanical elements, the colour gradations across the cyborg components, the expression on his face that manages to be simultaneously futuristic and immediately recognisable as Eddie.
As Iron Maiden memorabilia, the Somewhere In Time Bust is a piece for serious collectors who want to represent the full sweep of the band’s visual history. The Senjutsu, Powerslave, Killers, and Somewhere In Time aesthetics are genuinely different from each other, and this bust is the definitive Somewhere In Time chapter in any collection.
A collector’s essential. A genuine statement piece.
