“We are huge Iron Maiden fans here at Funko and couldn’t be more excited to have our inaugural music Digital Pop!

The Eddie NFTs will be available in packs containing five digital “Pops!” and 15 digital “Pops!,” with prices starting at $9.99. A total of 24,000 packs will be available, and a maximum limit of $30 is allowed per transaction. A Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) wallet will be required to purchase the NFTs.
So far, only a teaser video can be seen, showing a few of the digital NFTs. Eddie is indeed recreated in cute Funko form, with animations bringing the beloved Maiden mascot to life. Previously, Funko has released actual figures of Eddie, as well as rock artists such as Guns N’ Roses, Queen, and Ozzy Osbourne.
Eddie recently appeared as a samurai on the cover of Iron Maiden’s latest album, Senjutsu. It marked the band’s highest charting album ever, hitting No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
