News / Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?

It certainly looks like Judge Death's leg.

Fingers crossed Rogue Trooper will finally get a figure.

A Rogue Trooper action figure is long overdue, I couldn't agree more.
Would be nice to see some alternative 2000AD characters receive some love for a change rather than the Dreddverse usual suspects.
Saying that, would be great to see a Land Raider vehicle, if the license holders can wrestle the rights away from Mattel! :)

Film Discussion / Re: Dredd (2012)

Well, of course, 2000AD celebrates an astonishing milestone next year, as it signals forty five years since its first publication.
Less significant maybe, but none the less impressive, it'll be ten years since the superb Dredd movie tore up cinema screens in 2012!!!!

Wow, can it really be that long ago since I sat eagerly awaiting, something I never expected to see if I'm perfectly honest, a second Judge Dredd movie at the cinema?'
And by grud, was I happier than a fattie in munce after the film had finished rolling, or screening at least, pretty much everything was digital by that stage!!!

Any hoo, I'm as curious as Old Stoney Face himself to see, a decade on, how or if Rebellion will mark this event.
Maybe a lovely hardback omnibus of all the spinoff Dredd movie comics, with a newly commissioned cover by concept artist of the film, Jock or even a brand new story set in the movieverse?
It would be really nice if Entertainment In Film in the UK gave us a decent physical release this time around too, preferably with newly commissioned art and in a Steelbook, like other territories have received, perhaps even a 4K release?

Regardless, I hope something is done to pay tribute to what I, and I'm sure others, consider to be a modern Sci-Fi/Action classic and up there with some of the very best in the genre.  :)

News / Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
23 July, 2021, 11:23:57 PM
This news was shared with me recently and for someone interested by all things action figure related, particularly when in context to the 2000AD universe, this has me insanely excited!!!
Here's hoping that it lasts longer than the 3A range and that we get the complete Dark Judges this time around.
A Mean Machine finally and the rest of the Angel Gang would be great for starters too!!!

Not much to add to the other positive assessments, except to say that this was a most welcome addition to the Rebellion portfolio of comics and I hope we see more soon.
Loved DaNi's art, the colour really brought the art to life. Great work from all the other contributers too.
The U.S comic book size irked me initially, but if this format means that it finds its way into more comic book readers, then it's a sacrifice worth making.

Dredd - great story and art by Chris Weston, love the link between Rowdy Yates/Clint Eastwood/Dredd, well done Chris

Yeah, that "..well whoever he was, I owe him my life" punchline was inspired!!!! :)

Only top 11, due to ties?!!!
Sounds like I seriously need to up my game!
Though, I've always fancied myself as a bit of a Barry Took, so I'll take "Points Of View" as a compliment!!!!  :lol:

Flicked through my mate's Prog 1 at the time, but didn't buy my own until Prog 75.
The Cursed Earth was in full swing by this time, such exciting times!

James Gunn of GOTG and Suicide Squad 2 fame is a fan, if you believe his Twitter feed, so Dredd and 2000AD must have some low-level awareness in the States at the very least.

Always deeply sad when one of the 2000AD fraternity take the long work.
Sincere condolences to Dave's family and all who knew him.

Film & TV / Re: Last movie watched...

Finally got around to watching Justice League: The Snyder Cut.
Succinct review: just as crap, but twice as long.

the Apocalypse War- simply iconic!  :thumbsup:

The Apocalypse War, a stone, cold classic!!!  :thumbsup:

I'm vaguely intrigued to see how much turd polishing was required to make the original film even barely watchable or coherent, but I can certainly wait until it's on a free to view channel or in the DVD bargain bin, such is my relative disinterest in superhero movies.

Another hard-hitting, in-depth article from Auntie Beeb:



I managed to get a copy of the list of aims, so far:

1. Wear pink in support of those gays. They'll like that. Just as long as they don't want to join the firm.
2. Try our very best not to drive away any more mixed race scroungers people.
3. Maybe try a corgi cross-breed - a coodle! That's diverse!
4. Try and get our ginger back from that witch!
5. We already have plenty of hats ... maybe a more diverse property portfolio?


Which reminds me, how's that old sex tourist Andrew getting on, haven't heard from him in a while?
Bet he's gutted that international travel is unlikely to resume anytime soon.
Although private jets are probably exempt.
