Blade: The Iron Cross is a solo Blade movie that was first announced in Delirium Magazine in the beginning of 2019. It was made under the 'Deadly Ten' banner, which is ten Full Moon movies that were produced live in front of audiences eyes, and had webcams on the set so that beginner film makers and fans could have a chance to observe the mechanism behind a movie's production.

This movie picks up directly after the events of Puppet Master: Axis Termination and will involve the character of Elisa Ivanov, who has now become a war journalist and it will only feature Blade and the rest of the puppets will not be apart of it. This is the first time a puppet from the franchise has had their own spin-off movie. This movie was released on July 7, 2020 .

Plot

For decades the fans have been clamoring for it, and now Full Moon delivers with the first standalone feature debut of one of its most beloved (and most frightful) characters: the hook-handed maniac puppet, BLADE! Charles Band’s PUPPET MASTER series continues as an unspeakable evil from Blade’s past emerges in the form of a murderous Nazi scientist named Dr. Hauser. As Hauser’s heinous crimes are discovered, the psychic war journalist, Elisa Ivanov, awakens Blade, and together the bloody journey of revenge begins. It’s Herr Hauser’s reanimated undead army versus a possessed doll and a beautiful vengeance-seeking clairvoyant! Who will win, and how will it affect the Full Moon Universe? Find out in BLADE: THE IRON CROSS.

Trivia

• While the production of the movie is live-streamed on the website, there will be hidden Easter eggs or skull and crossbones that are hidden around the set and viewers can then write in when they spot them and be in the chance of winning prizes.
• The movie was suppose to come out in December of 2019, but was delayed so that they could work harder on the effects.

Blade The Iron Cross also had a comic adaption penned by the team behind the Action Lab Comics. Despite the title, this comic is actually a direct follow up to Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge and is about Andre Toulon taking Blade on a solo mission to tie up loose ends of unfinished business and experiments left by Dr. Hess, so that the Nazis cannot steal it. Ingenieur Erich Hauser from the Iron Cross movie is mentioned as the person responsible for the Nazi's raid on the lab. There is also pictures of Oberhelfer Friede Steitze on the cover, but she doesn't appear in the comic. It could be that her elixir in her syringe fingers was stolen from this raid.

Plot

"The Deadly Ten begins! Each issue takes you deeper into the Full Moon Cinematic Universe, with ten standalone tales of deviance and depravity! First up, fan-favorite Puppet Master character Blade goes on his first solo mission in a bloody attempt to keep Dr. Hess's research out of Nazi hands! Featuring main cover by Robert Hack (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and collectable variant 'Product 01' cover by Dan Fowler (Screaming Soup)!" - Official description.

After the death of major Kraus, Toulon and Peter spend the night in the burnt down theater before departing to Switzerland. Blade sneaks out during the night and returns to Dr Hess' lab where a number of solders are working to salvage the Death Corps project on orders from Dr Hauser, Blade kills 2 Nazis and Major Vogt before chasing another soldier, causing the truck containing the death corps research to crash and catch on fire. One Nazi managed to survive the attack and hide the death corp notes, leading to the events of Blade the Iron Cross.
