Iron Maiden Killers official back patch

Tue, 17/06/2025 - 14:06

I think Killers Eddie is one of faves ! He was the first that I saw glaring at me in my local record shop and after all these years still feels dangerous !

This is my second version of this patch but it has a different feel, different yellow and the eyes are different too.

So many variants of this back patch, as HMC has documented, each one has a cool and unique set of details! Looks awesome man, I have two Killers BPs as well, easily one of the best out there.

Thanks man, I know Jeff has identified 8, I didn’t really realise the differences between them until I had them side by side! All done with a 3 color print process too!! Love old school patches.

Congrats on this score man! My favorite Maiden album, and Eddie at it's best 💪 It still baffles me that there are so many variants of this back patch. 2 down, 6 to go 🤪

Thanks Jeff, I wonder if they were experimenting with the inks trying to get the right feel.

I have no idea man. It took them quite a lot of tries to get it right it seems 😅 Killers, to the best of my knowledge, has the most different versions.
