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? :eh:
And those pricey (yet awesome) Comic Replicas don't count.
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.
QuoteI mean even ''The Hunger Games'' is getting a series of action figures and so far there is no word on any DREDD toys?
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.
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.
Films like the Terminator and Aliens were rated 18 and you can buy figures based on characters from those films.
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.

There was a fair bit of Alien merch released with the original movie- no, I don't have any of it, but I do have a copy 'Space Adventure Collectibles' (http://www.amazon.com/Space-Adventure-Collectibles-T-Tumbusch/dp/0870695657) knocking about somewhere- which is worth tracking down. A board game too, if I remember rightly.

Some of its head it missing,should have a cover over the skull
Think that's the head-cover next to its feet.
I'm no big collector of figures, but I want one of these!
Yeah, someone I knew had one - or it might have been a re-issue, the skull casing was a translucent plastic bit that could come off, then Cameron ditched that part of the design for Aliens.
I remember getting the comics adaptation from my parents, because I was too young to see it at the pics - remember it being pretty good.

If we do get a decent range I may have to stop my Starwars collection. Today I purchased 2 more figures. It is an obsession that won't go away.
Damn Lucas.

I feel no shame in continuing to buy figures as an adult. I never stopped buying comics, so why should I stop buying figures?

The detail on that Alien is pretty fantastic for a 70's 'kids' toy.
My younger brother had that Alien figure, when you pressed a switch in the back of his head his jaws opened and the secondary jaws pushed out. Action Man never knew what hit him. I bought an Alien vinyl kit in the 90s (Produced by Mpc I think) which used the same moulds as the action figure, unfortunatley it did not feature a working jaw mechanism. I also had the Alien movie adaptation, in my opinion, some of Walt Simonson's best work. Will we be getting a Dredd movie comic book adaptation? From Jock perhaps?

Famously the figure didnt sell at all. And a good few stores wouldnt stock it either. The mould for the Alien has been used by a quite a few differant company over the years, so its a familiar looking beast. The original is worth quite a bit though.Why 20th Century Fox would licence so much stuff, from an X cert film, to kids, is strange to say the least. Kenner created some Star Wars sized Alien figures, but these never got past the prototype stage.

None of Ripley in her pants? -sigh-
hoping either neca or mezco for any dredd figs,neca have proved it doesnt have to be a major liscence as some of their stuff has shown especially with their game figures
I don't do much merchandise buying. Not much in to figures or statuettes. However I have most of the 2000ad Heroclix figures & some 28" miniatures.
What I would seriously buy is Dredd or 2000ad Lego. Would love some lot that.
Some 12'' statues like the Star Wars Kotobukiya ones or deluxe figures and maybe a helmet replica would be nice.

When my wife bought me the Halycon 1:1 scale Facehugger kit, from a hobby shop back in the 90's, she remarked on the similarity between the alien head and a penis to the red faced 17 year old lad on the till. She then pointed to the underside of the (built up) Facehugger kit suspended above his head and said sternly "....And that looks like womens bits!" The poor boy forgot how to work the till after that.

Is there any news as to who will be distributing these yet?
V
Distributing what?
If you mean merchandise, I don't think there is any. Or at least none announced.
If it's the film, Lionsgate overseas and Entertainment in the UK.
Merch and figures. Must be some sort of buzz somewhere.

I highly doubt it.
Pop Culture Shock have made a very cool Judge Dredd diorama (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=901843) that will ship in September when the movie premieres. But it's not a movie version of Dredd, it's a classic 2000AD version with Call Me Kenneth!
I think they should get planet replicas to do a version of the movie helmet. It looks great in my opinion.

There is a thread all about this statue and the insane few who decided to buy it.
That stutue still looks like pooh, buy a mug instead.
I think Dredd should be aiming for the sex-toy market instead, it's really ready-made for transposing:
The leather uniforms are all ready fetishistic, with Daysticks, respirators, collars, gauntlets etc.
Dredd helmeted dildos, Anderson blow-up dolls, cuffs and perp holding-post
It's a gold-mine of R-rated goods.

I asked this a comic figure store 1.5 month ago. He said there is a upcoming Judge Dredd figure project. But he didn't say when. But i don't know. Comic version or movie version??
