Are we getting any action figures from the new film?

[Dreddzilla]

Has there been any word if we'll see DREDD action figures?
I mean even ''The Hunger Games'' is getting a series of action figures and so far there is no word on any DREDD toys?
And those pricey (yet awesome) Comic Replicas don't count.

[Goaty]

But there are Dredd COMIC action figures.

Doesn't 3A own the action figure rights?

3A has a licence to produce and sell 2000 AD action figures. Our licenses are, for the best part, non-exclusive so we could grant licenses to other companies.

If any toy companies did want a toy license from us though, the proposed figures would have to be considerably different from what 3A is doing, out of respect to Ashley and his team who are doing a great job.

That's interesting, thanks for the clarification.

And yes, Ash and 3A are doing a great job!

As for movie likeness figures - that doesn't rest with us, I'm afraid.

Dredd is going to get an adult rating whereas Hunger Games is for Y/A - might not look like much of a viable option for Toy companies.

Planet Replicas don't make action figures, 3A do and yes they are expensive, but worth every penny when you see the amount of hard work and capital it takes to get them made.

The Hunger Games is essentially the new Twilight - the size of it's audience should not be underestimated. It's a much bigger deal than Dredd.

I reckon someone will show an interest in producing merchandise if Dredd is a reasonable hit. For now it's far from a safe bet.

Toys are for children.

[radiator]

Well, many would say the same of videogames, comics and cartoons.

Having said that, I don't personally buy action figures or replicas or anything like that - never understood the appeal - but each to their own.

[Misanthrope]

Films like the Terminator and Aliens were rated 18 and you can buy figures based on characters from those films.

[strontium71]

Unlikely but wonderful would be if McFarlane did the figures , mini-busts and those 1:1 head busts

Both far bigger IP's than Dredd. The figures for both properties were released long after they had become popular franchises.

I stand corrected - must not have sold well though, otherwise I'm sure that more people would have been aware of it.
