Iron Maiden Metal Gods Die Advent Calendar 2025 Celebrating 50 Years Of The Iron 1975-2025 With 24 Collectible Eddie Figurines Christmas Countdown Ornaments Holiday Gift For Heavy Metal Fans

The Iron Maiden Metal Gods Die Advent Calendar 2025 Celebrating 50 Years Of The Iron 1975-2025 With 24 Collectible Eddie Figurines is the ultimate holiday countdown gift commemorating one of heavy metal’s most legendary bands as they mark their remarkable 50th anniversary milestone, featuring miniature ornaments of Eddie the Head—Iron Maiden’s iconic undead mascot—in his various incarnations across the band’s storied career, from The Trooper’s British soldier wielding a Union Jack flag and sword, to the Powerslave pharaoh from ancient Egypt, to the cyborg from Somewhere in Time, to the insane asylum patient from Piece of Mind, and numerous other Eddie variations that have adorned the covers of their 17 studio albums since the band’s formation in Leyton, East London in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. This festive advent calendar coincides with Iron Maiden’s monumental “Run For Your Lives” World Tour that kicked off on May 27, 2025, at the László Papp Budapest Sports Arena in Hungary, marking their 50th anniversary celebration with an ambitious setlist focused exclusively on their first nine albums—from their 1980 self-titled debut through 1992’s “Fear of the Dark”—featuring classics like “The Number of the Beast,” “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” “Run to the Hills,” “The Trooper,” “Powerslave,” “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” and “Fear of the Dark” performed across 32 European shows in 2025 that sold over one million tickets, with an extended 2026 leg including 11 additional European dates and a massive North American tour with Megadeth and Anthrax as support acts. The 24 collectible Eddie figurines represent the band’s extraordinary visual legacy created by artist Derek Riggs, who transformed a papier-mâché head prop used in early shows that would spit blood during the song “Iron Maiden” into the most recognizable mascot in rock music history—a ghoulish character whose name “Eddie the ‘Ead” originated from a morbid joke told by guitarist Dave Murray and whose countless incarnations have appeared on virtually every Iron Maiden album cover, tour backdrop, t-shirt, and piece of merchandise since 1980, making Eddie as integral to the band’s identity as founding members Steve Harris, Dave Murray, and vocalist Bruce Dickinson. This advent calendar is particularly significant as it celebrates the “Run For Your Lives” tour, which notably marks the first Iron Maiden tour since 1983’s World Piece Tour not to feature longtime drummer Nicko McBrain, who retired from touring in December 2024 after 42 years with the band and was replaced by British Lion drummer Simon Dawson, adding a bittersweet element to this milestone celebration for one of the best-selling heavy metal bands of all time with over 100 million albums sold worldwide and approximately 2,500 concerts performed across their career. Perfect for heavy metal fans, collectors of Iron Maiden memorabilia, and anyone who appreciates the band’s influence on heavy music through groundbreaking albums like “The Number of the Beast” (1982), “Powerslave” (1984), “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” (1988), and their continued dominance as a touring force that still sells out stadiums and arenas globally despite being in their fifth decade of existence, this advent calendar represents both
