3A Toys/Rebellion Press Release

[Pete Wells]

Yeah, 3A would do a wicked Shakara.

The way the 2000AD licence has been handled by 3A is a crying shame. Releasing Tharg first was a bit daft, however I could see some logic as he was a fan piece. Mongrol was amazing and really showed what the company could do. The logical step would have been to quickly follow up with a 1/6 Dredd and Anderson (you'll be amazed how mad some of the collecting community go for female figures.) I feel this would had got the ThreeA community was behind the line it would have really taken off, they're a loyal bunch (or at least, were. I think a LOT of people are jaded by the company now.) Instead, we got long waits, little or no info and at worst, damn lies.

The company claim that the 1/12 Death is coming before the next ($150) round of 3A membership, which is mid January. I suspect he might, but dropping a figure just before or after Christmas with little or no warning is pretty suicidal. Once again we'll be blamed for not getting behind the figure and I fear the line will be quietly dropped. I really hope I'm wrong!

They could have released figures of the supporting judge characters first if they wanted to test the waters for a Dredd figure.

I think Judge Anderson would have sold well.

Call me crazy but I think testing the waters for Dredd would be best served by making a Dredd figure rather than putting effort into less popular secondary characters that sell less.

I love my 2 Ro-Jaws and would've picked a number of figures from what was promised, but Death wasn't one of them.

Tedious.

Dunk!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

WOW!

Pete nearly got annoyed then. Things must be bad!

WOW!

He actually has got mad 'in another place' (where we've all been told we're negative nellies). Quite magnificent to behold.

[Mikey]

Fantassstic! Worth the wait I reckon and it looks spot on, which bodes well for the other figures in the pipeline. Hurrah!

Well now, never thought I'd describe old Deathy that way, but - that there's a thing of beauty.

Put me down for a couple!
