First 4 Figures is extremely proud to announce a licensing agreement with 2000AD for the rights to create statues and prop replicas based on the characters from the 2000AD universe.
"With the likes of Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, and the ABC warriors, there are some absolutely great characters to work with," says Alex Davis, director of First 4 Figures. "The 2000AD universe has grown so rich in its history of almost 30 years and it is fantastic that we've got the opportunity to work with some of the characters."
First 4 Figures will be basing product development on the artwork of some of the many artists that have worked on 2000AD's colourful character roster. Product line up includes but not limited to statues, busts, scaled replica weapons and scaled helmets. There are also plans for a versus diorama line up, with the first being Judge Dredd versus Judge Death.
Expect product preview around early 2007.

The models look excellent, 'specially Samus, but a bit pricey?
Eh, they're statues. Which are cool (and yeah, that Samus one is really cool), so the price is about right.
Still would be nice to get some "action figures" at some point.
agreed
Hopefully we should a good bit of news on that front in the near future.

Blimey, the timing of this news is a bit of a shocker.
Do you see what I did there?

Absolutely nothing
Say it again yâ??all
Are the statues/merchandise only going to be available in the US, or through their own site (ie shipping from US)?
Will products be available in the 2000ad online shop?
I'm hoping to be selling them through my Termight Replicas site.
First 4 Figures is a UK company.
Cheers,
Wake
Just curious, as the priceson their site are in $.
Hopefully that means they have a good distribution line with the US, so that I, and other US readers, will beable to get these without too much headache (aka: Dollar to Pound exchange rate + Wallet murdering shipping costs)
PS: Is the Rogue statue out yet? Hows it look? I might kick off my collecting of statues with it.
You can see it in the shop.
