Title: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: dweezil2 on 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!!!

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! :)

Couldn't agree more - a couple from Kingdom/ Lawless/ Bad company/ Harlem Hero's/ Dante  - just mix it up as it gets a bit repetitive when it's always the same go to characters.

Then again I'll probably still open the wallet if they produce anything 😁

3A went:
Tharg
Mongrol
Ro-jaws
Judge fish
Gronk
Dredd
Sam slade
Death - fear - Mortis

And got slated for uncommerciality.

I don't know how it was slated uncommercial. I was slow off the mark and didn't manage to pick up
anything straight from any retail outlets 🙁. Now I'd have to pay silly amounts on eballs.
I suppose those that know the business crunch the numbers and we have to grin and bare it 😡

Yes, but their prices were hardly competitive, and you had something like a 20-minute window at 2am in the morning in which to buy a new figure.

Their prices were what they were, a bit more than an equivalent hot toy that would sell x1000 more as it was marvel or whatever. 3A wasn't cheap but I doubt anyone was making out gang busters off them.

The only 2000ad 3a which where time limited where the SDCC figures (alternate versions of gronk, fish & Rojaws) so the infamous 3A night-drops never applied. They kept orders open for Dredd, the dark judges and sam slade for months.

I think if Hiya pitch these figures in line with their other lines at around £20, they'll have a better chance of shifting them.
The 3A range were great but probably out of reach, price wise, for most buyers, particularly casual ones.

HIYA specialize in 1/18 scale figures, so you have to remember if this DEATH (obviously) or other figures ever see the light of day, they are in teeny tiny scale.
20 squid? oww!

1/6 scale is 12" tall, think vintage Action Man size or modern Hot Toys, Sideshow etc.
First series by 3A was 1/6 scale and consisted of THARG and 2 of the original Meknificent Seven MONGROL and RO-JAWS, then years later as a last gasp before close of business, 1/6 DREDD and APOCALYPSE WAR DREDD  :lol:.
Extremely expensive, so the 1/6 series was dropped in favour of "less expensive half size" 1/12 scale.
1/12 scale are 6" tall and is the size of the second series of 3A 2000AD figures (DEATH, ROBO-HUNTER, FISH, GRONK, DREDD, LAWMASTER, FEAR and MORTISSSssssss) or modern Mezco One12, Star Wars 'black' series, etc.
1/18 scale are 3.75" tall, like vintage Star Wars and Action Force/GI Joe or reboot modern Star wars.

About 10 years ago I purchased HIYA TOYS first ever set of 6 figures, WW2 German Infantry.

"Hans! someone bent my Schmeisser"  :lol:
The flexible plastic used made the figures and accessories all suffer from "droop" (bent rifles like 1970s Airfix soldiers).
In the quest for articulation to match bigger scales, the elbow/knee pins and hinges are very large and detract from the visual aspect of the figures.
But hey, they are a very poseable action figure if that's your thing.
I usually open and select one pose, then it sits on my shelves in the collection, never posed again.
Hopefully HIYA have made leaps and bounds since their first releases but I am interested in seeing what may be on offer from the house of Tharg.
It's just the itty-bitty size of the figures that would put me off.

I watched someone review the recent RoboCop figure from Hiya on YouTube and have to say I was very impressed with the detail and the amount of articulation for something so diminutive.
Gives me hope for any 2000AD range.
The Alien and Predator figures look pretty cool too.
I've splashed out on previous Dredd/AD figures in the past, including the ones from ReAction, 3A even the Marvel Legends ones, but a new manufacturer of 2000AD merchandise on the scene is most welcome and worth supporting, especially if we want more in the future.  :)

3A almost got Johnny Alpha out the door.  Such a pity they didn't.  There were some left-of-field choices in what they did but everything looked superb.  The big Dredd is practically definitive.  Getting Fear & Mortis and the Lawmaster were all brilliant.  Sam Slade was an interesting choice but as I say, a perfect representation.  I would've loved to pick up Judge Fish and der Gronk but they were too much for me.

I also wish they sold accessories.  I would have liked Dredd's cloak but couldn't go to getting the Apoc Dredd after already punting on big Dredd.

I guess they have to go for what sells, so I don't blame them for doing Death and probably following it up with Dredd, but I really hope they can go further with the line.  Even if it's just a Sov Judge in cloak to go against Dredd.

Pretty sure 3A cancelled the whole 2000AD series in JUL 2018 and later on in AUG 2019, Ash/3A company split from Kim/ThreeZero and then ceased business altogether.
Have read online rumours of a 3A rebirth using their licensed robot figures.
So like any new 1/12 releases from ReAction, Legendary Comic Book Heroes or Mezco, chances are slim to none.  :(

I see HIYA TOYS have pre-orders for 2 x 1/18th versions of the ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER (US/Meg spelling and $299 USD price = oww!) from the ALIENS movie.
They did produce a 1/18 RIPLEY'S LOADER (final scenes from ALIENS) that was $79.99 USD.
Very popular and sold out quickly but just like 3A collectors suffered, only available for high prices from scalpers online, if you did not pre-order early from HIYA to secure one.
Grud damned expensive hobby.
Which gives hope to HIYA potentially releasing Mek's or vehicles in the future.
Sentenoids? Hov-tanks? Manta's? or ALL of the original ABC WARRIORS including MekQuake? (if it was 3A they would be teasing with a prototype of JUSTICE-1 priced at $666 USD).
:) :D ;) :P :o :lol:

edit: Fairly sure 3A re-visited MONGROL and RO-JAWS during the 1/12 re-launch, so add them to the list of released 2000AD fig's in 1/6 and 1/12.
Right at the end 3A also teased a re-scaling of THARG prototype, complete with polystyrene cups in 1/12 scale  :P

HIYA also has a pretty nifty looking DREDD ripoff Robocop's ED-209 with sound (??YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY?? pew pew pew) for pre-order at $49.99 USD.

https://www.hiyatoys.com/hiya-toys-robocop-ed-209-1-18-scale-4-inch-acton-figure.html

If they can do him, then a HAMMERSTEIN should not be all that difficult.

I was lucky enough to see the proposed 1/12 Tharg and Strontium Dog figures from 3A at the 2000AD Birthday bash in London and can concur that they looked fantastic!
There was also a head sculpt of Old One Eye/Flesh that Ashley Wood was sure would never see the light of day, but was done more for what could be.

Back to Hiya Toys, if they start doing Judge Dredd related vehicles, I really hope that they can wrestle the Land Raider rights away from Mattel!  :)

Just bitten the bullet and splashed out on a RoboCop figure from Hiya Toys and I'm very happy with how detailed it is and the size, it bodes very well from a 2000AD line of figures.

Not sure what other 1/18 scale figures from other manufacturers come in at, but for an idea of scale, Robo was a couple of millimetres taller than a vintage Han Solo figure from Kenner. :thumbsup:

I know I'm just moaning but Hiya are just covering ground 3A did.  And now they've got Death, Fear and Mortis announced, are they going to do Judge Fire?  No, they're going to do Death, Fear and Mortis in a bigger scale.  I'll be very interested to see their Lawmaster, but I'll be even more excited if the line gets to some characters we haven't seen before.

Remember when 3a did Sam Slade, The Gronk and Judge Fish and everyone complained and didn't buy them?

Dredd is big and Death is bigish, the rest, sadly not so much. I'd much prefer The Angel Gang or Chopper but there is little chance. Everyone does the big 2 then on to another license...

You can pick up most of the threea 2000ad stuff for pretty much cost price on the various buy/sell groups on Facebook. Only things that seem rare are 1/6 mongrol and the SDCC exclusive versions of fish / gronk. There is a U.K. buy/sell so you even save on shipping.

They seem to be 4" (10cm to me... I've also seen them described as 1/18th scale).

I've seen some more photos and it's great to see Giant comes with a removable helmet (or swappable head).  Now I'm just trying to tell if his uniform is black or blue.

Klegg,Giant and all 4 DJs - as they are taking preorders they won't over produce and I believe these will sell out and you will need to pay stupid money on EBay to get your favourites 🙁
In the current money is tight climate I will need to pick and choose what to go for 😪

I'm holding back some pennies for the promised Law-master.

Never seen anything about how many they want to produce but looking at their official site their ranges for various franchises (or sub franchise) go fro 6 figures per sub franchise to 20 figures for the DC range (though there are a few Batman varieties in this)

So I'm hoping that "Judge Dredd" becomes one category and we get others like the Rogue world, Strontium Dog or ABC Warriors but one can only dream 😁

I'd like some of these but I'd prefer them in 1:12 rather than 1:18 scale.  Here's hoping the line does well enough to continue.

Me too. I'm waiting for 1:12 for Judge Death. I never got the 3a version, but I did get the other 3a Dark Judges, so he should fit with them.

I did order the 1:18 Giant and Judge Fire though. As they're kinda niche, and there is no mention of their being developed in 1:12 (which isn't to say they won't be,  I just don't want to chance it) I thought I'd better order them. I'll likely do the same for Anderson and the Klegg.

Not sure I'll order the 1:12 version of Dredd since I have two versions already by other companies including 3a. If he is anything like this 1/18 I'll be tempted. I like the style.

I'm waiting to see what design of Lawmaster they go for with the bikes.  Given the Judge figures seem to have the classic Mk I Lawgiver, I'm hoping it's the classic boxy Lawmaster.

Thank you, pre-ordered both. I'd have liked Anderson in the larger scale but as she hasn't been mentioned... didn't want to chance it. Looks very nice. And it will be nice to have am Anderson figure work proper artculation after that  ReAction figure. And face resembles Olivia Thirlby somewhat!

Nice to see these available on more sites now. It seemed to be only a couple. I was able to preorder Hershey and the Dredd/ Lawmaker at Star Action Figures. (Figures tend to be a bit cheaper there than other UK sites,  although the Lawmaster seems about the same. )

I war going to give the Lawmaster a miss since I have the 3a version but I couldn't resist.  While of a similar design this is actually a different.

I'm sure at the time of release the 3A peeps said they were going for a Bolland '81 Annual feel, which they nailed in 1/12 scale.

In the blurb of the HIYA press release, it quotes they are aiming for a McMahon Cursed Earth "Q-bike" version.

Judge Cal stories don't particularly interest me, but that figure is so good a representation - the blonde curly hair, the big badge of office, the stars on his knees, the chunky boots and Judge Fish with his badged fishbowl - that I could really be tempted to get it.  I'm already quite tempted by the Lawmaster.  I just wish they were a bigger scale.

There's a lot of "Judge ----" in the list so far.  Let's hope we get Chief Judge Griffin and a Sov Judge before they get off that kick.

I am an action figure person so want all these however there's sooo many now that I can't justify splurging on my own so I've instructed my wife, Son, Daughter & Mother-in-law to pre order and put them away for Xmas & Birthday - I'll just have to buy the Lawmaster and a couple of others. Let's hope they do and Zavvi deliver after those comments I've seen on this thread 😳

I am trying to resist this range but Hershey, Anderson, the Lawmaster, the fact they got Fire done, and now Mean are causing my resolve to waver.

It's so good that Hiya are putting out a force of Judges, plus a range of enemies to go up against, not just the same supernatural squad as always.  Let's see if this means they put out the rest of the Angel gang (who next?  Fink?  Pa?  Fink with Ratty would be a good balance with Cal & Judge Fish) or go for some other enemies.  I am really hoping for a Sov Judge.  Like the stormtroopers from Star Wars, that's a figure that people can justify buying more than one of.

Mean is really nice but the thrill-suckers are strong with teeny 1/18 scale (and STILL nothing actually released in this series).
;-)
Hoping the deep pocketed tooth completists buy two of every character (1 to open, 1 to keep "mint in box"?), this series goes well and 1/12 scale see's the light of day. To "size match" with previous manufacturers figures in my (and others?) collections.

September is here so these Toof mini-figs will start showing up in shops and those Squaxx who pre-ordered letterboxes, quite soon?
Just as HIYA belatedly promised? (after a few date changes due to worldwide creeping buboes)

https://2000ad.com/news/mean-machine-angel-coming-this-january-from-hiya-toys/

"Due to pressure on international shipping caused by the pandemic dates, the shipping dates for the new range have had to be set back. The new expected shipping dates are as follows:

    Judge Dredd – Sep 2022
    Judge Death – Sep 2022
    Judge Anderson – Sep 2022
    Klegg Mercenary – Sep 2022
    Judge Mortis – Oct 2022
    Judge Fire – Oct 2022
    Judge Hershey – Oct 2022
    Judge Fear – Nov 2022
    Judge Giant – Nov 2022
    Lawmaster set – Dec 2022
    Judge Cal – Dec 2022
    Judge Death B&W – Dec 2022"

.. and supposedly MEAN in JAN 2023.
Very interested to see what the overall packaging and figures look like when true Squaxx review them "in hand". May be enough to sway me into at least buying a mini-Klegg or two.

Here's a video review of the Dredd/Death set: Click! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i992en11jLo)

There's discussion of the pegs holding on the shoulder pads, what is good/bad, etc.  It's also good to see them held in someone's hand.

I also like they use the PROPER Dredd logo for the packaging.

I was checking this out yesterday. Hiya have Dredd and Death available from their own website for US $19.99 each. Postage was a flat $10 for one or both.  I'm umming over Death (and also Dredd because he'll be available with the Lawmaster).  If they had a few other figures available I would have gone for it. I'd rather buy 4 figures later and pay $10 postage than 2 today and 2 later and $20 postage.

I saw yet another teaser for the VERY long list of pre-orders with a b&w variant of JUDGE FEAR (who the drokk asked for replicas of ThreeA's poor selling b&w variants with minimal to no interest from Squaxx, in small 1/18 scale anyway?).  ::)

Nothing on actual product release dates from any of the official channels.
The only release from HIYA's Toof line to date has been Dredd/Death set for SDCC. Release must have been set in stone for that one and HIYA couldn't wriggle out of it, most likely due to risk of heavy financial penalties payable to the SDCC behemoth if the release was missed.

Frequent pre-order teasers and rescheduling releases with drokk all to show for it makes me an a apathetic little Squaxx. Think I'll smash up a Marvel Legends Punisher figure and use my creative sausage fingers to make my own MEAN in 1/12 scale. Thumbs nose at HIYA's tardiness.

Totally. I only went for the Klegg, as I was a bit wary of them announcing a dozen seperate pre-orders figures before any had actually been released. I'd love to get some of the others I won't be pre-ordering anything else - we'll see if they actually get to market.

Post by: lincnash on 07 October, 2022, 10:31:09 PM
It is a concern and I won't commit to any pre-orders also (even though the teaser shots of any character are most tempting).

In my research I have found "wowHD e-tailer" which seem more a online DVD,BluRay,music supplier, but are offering most of the HIYA 2000AD series at RRP which includes "Regular Shipping" from the local warehouse. Pre-order and your CC is only charged at release(with HIYA who knows when that will be???) wowHD have warehouses on every major continent when I review the site.

https://www.wowhd.com.au/search?q=JUDGE+DREDD+PX&mod=AP

https://www.wowhd.co.uk/search?q=judge+dredd+px+1%2F8&mod=AP

Basically RRP which includes regular local shipping and no charge until the figure is actually ready for shipping out, seems like a very fair deal.
Has anyone had any ordering experience from this online retailer?

But in asking the forum that question, my caveat would be I wouldn't pre-order with wowHD anyway with all the HIYA teasers/pre-orders stacking up with no actual releases coming forward. My cynical side says each figures pre-order status doesn't reach HIYA's sales expectations, so they tease the next character hoping that promotes a boost in overall pre-orders and finances, before they are willing to commit to going forward with full series production.

Most odd.
Ignore my cynically thinking out loud post, presuming it's some form of coercion to pre-order lots.
Much more likely the manufacturing blokes know each plastic injection character mold is only good for "x" amount of uses and the pre-orders are getting close to or exceeding that limit.
Good way of selling all units available and generating a sense of rarity.
Most capitalist business strategy would be to take all orders possible and scale production upwards to meet demand and increase profits.
I dunno, weird CCP governed business decisions?.

Thanks for the heads up, went and checked on your report.
That is ZARJAZ news they are available direct from manufacturer, kills the uncertainty of all the pre-orders without any releases.

I'm hoping other figures become available to order soon.  I'd like to order some so they can see there's interest.  I can understand why they're starting with Dredd and Death, but it would be better if they started with some of the other figures no one has released before.

Dredd and Death have already been done by other toy companies, and Dredd looks like his head is stuck in a bucket.  I'd like to see it in hand, but his head looks triangular to me, with the helmet getting more pinched the higher it goes.  It's fortunate the other characters so far don't wear helmets (I think Giant has a removable helmet, but of course with Dredd that can never be an option.)  Hopefully they'll improve Dredd for the Lawmaster release.

Same here viewing from the Radback.
Looks like HIYA is only offering orders for the instock Dredd and Death 1/18th figures, allowing "add to cart" with payment by Paypal only.
All the other figures not yet released and listed as "coming soon", seem to be teaser pages only with no method to add a pre-order to cart.

Now we've got Anderson on the Lawmaster to eventually look forward to 🤨
I'd rather have a single Lawmaster (if all the judges fit) or other Mega city characters.

Ideally though I would have loved another range from the tooth stable but that's wishful thinking 😫

Another thing - now they say the dates for "shipping" aren't out to the punters but shipping from China! That could mean at least another 2 months before the "September" release reach the shops!!
I'm excited on the range and look forward to getting my paws on them but this waiting on the actual figures is doing ma nut.

Post by: Dash Decent on 20 October, 2022, 07:36:42 AM
I like the idea of getting Anderson with the Lawmaster, but it does mean I'm not going to buy the Anderson only figure.  Which means another delay in signalling to Hiya that there's interest in this line.

That said, the list of shipping out of China has a fair few Septembers in it (and is not in order, which suggests later figures are releasing earlier) so there might be other reasons not to delay purchasing.

So Death's spirit form tail-thingy, coils around Dredd's waist and legs to display the figures au naturel?
No display base hidden in the bottom of the Boing™ casing?

Are you going to *gasp* open the Boing™ casing and forever devalue the mint/sealed collectible?
:-)

Pleasing that HIYA have stayed away from dozen or so sets of extra hands that many manufactures choose to include, because they haven't mastered gripping hands like the Palitoy Action Man of old.

All of these look really great, apart from Dredd's head. I know he looks that way in the comic sometimes, but his head here would have to be conical to fit in that tiny helmet.
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: Lawman of the Present on 11 November, 2022, 04:50:45 PM
I wasn't sold on Dredd's head from the promo images, as others have said, but have to say it looks great in person and has won me over. The Dredd that comes with the Lawmaster set looks like it has a new headsculpt though, so perhaps it'll be more of a variant figure.

I admit, I was hesitant at first but I've gone all-in on these. The first few looked nice but as others have said, were characters we've all seen as figures before. It was when they announced Fire, Anderson and the Klegg they caught my attention properly. There's some nice variety there.

I do think the range needs more focus on unique sculpts as opposed to repaints. I can understand why it's being done but admittedly I'm rolling my eyes a little with every announcement of another B&W variant - nice as a novelty to begin with, but I think if they want lower-production-cost variants they could achieve far more by being a little more creative with paint and accessories. For example, use the CJ shield from Cal and make a Chief Judge Hershey variant. Or do a small sculpt edit with blue colour scheme and make a Hell Street Blues vampire Hershey. Give Dredd his Apocalypse War bullet-hole badge with some battle damage, or paint him up as a corrupted Kraken. I'd much more happily spend money on that than a simple B&W version of the exact same figure.

Moving forward, what characters would everyone like to see? I think anything from the following would add some nice variation to the line;

Armitage
Chopper with powerboard
DeMarco (P.I. as opposed to Judge uniform for variety)
Devlin Waugh
Don Uggie
Dredd 2012 - Dredd and Anderson
Fink Angel with Ratty
Mechanismo Mk.1 (larger scale like the Klegg)
Metta Lawson
Preacher Cain
Shimura (with cloak)
Tweak
Walter the Wobot

PS: Those who ordered from Zavvi; what is their packing like on arrival? I hope they box them properly and don't just ship the figure pack in a plastic wrap!

I'd agree on no more B&W variants.
As for others on the range I'd go for:
Chopper with board as well
Don Uggie
Chimpski
Mechanismo
A Sov judge
Orlok
Simp Detective
Dirty Frank

If they did a Tweak they would have to do a Spike (double pack)

Cool wish lists and going by the comprehensive preorder/due for release soon lists, HIYA may do any/all at some stage. ;-)
A Sov Judge would be ZARJAZ!!! (1/12 scale please).
If MEAN has been offered then surely (DON'T call me Shirley) the rest of the ANGEL clan can't be that far away?
PA
JUNIOR
LINK
FINK n' RATTY

and keeping with the similar theme OWEN KRYSLER - THE JUDGE CHILD?
The teeny 1/18 scale reminds me of vintage STAR WARS size figures and vehicles e.g. grail item Millennium Falcon Spaceship 1979.
HIYA's next preorder teaser will be for a JUSTICE-1 or KILLDOZER.

HIYA did do the Aliens personal carrier which looks fantastic and fits in the 1/18 figures so the thought of a kill dozer or a manta fitting in a few figures would be soooo tempting (although the Personal carrrier is $300!!!! That's At least 3 birthdays from the wife 😳)

I received an email saying Dredd and Death would be arriving on Dec 13th. Curious whether they'll keep the same helmet-shaped 'Boing' packaging now, or whether it'll be changed for the core line.

The original product descriptions stated they'd be in window boxes, presumably something a little smaller and more collector-friendly than a blister pack.
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: Dash Decent on 14 November, 2022, 11:03:45 AM
A Sov Judge would be my top suggestion as a new figure in the line.

Return-from-Titan Rico Dredd with breather gear.

Skysurf Chopper is a brilliant suggestion.

An Oz Judge - love it

A big Mechanismo - yes please

Captain Skank

Trapper Hag?  (In fact I'd rather have Hag than a Klegg.)

Bad Bob Booth with suspended animation chamber

Chief Judge McGruder

Rogue Trooper (original, Cam Kennedy style).

Chief Judge Griffin

Perhaps some assorted perps? A mugger with a gun, a rioter with a molotov cocktail, the Godfather from The Taxidermist, the poor bloke with the stuck finger from Finger of Suspicion, two perps handcuffed to a holding post - one on his knees, the other guy perhaps with no clothes on (appropriately concealed by the big brackets the handcuffs attached to) - a mix of know characters and appropriate general criminals, with those slightly exaggerated MC1 elements - big kneepads, etc.

A fatty with a belli-wheel.

Post by: Lawman of the Present on 14 November, 2022, 01:16:30 PM
Yes to Rico, I had meant to say him as well but was thinking more in the Titan uniform from the novella cover. Also a Fall of Deadworld Judge Fairfax with Byke would be cool. As you suggest a cranky exaggerated Esquerra CJ McGruder could be hilarious.

Alas, we now have a B&W Fire announced... Obviously there's no requirement to purchase but I had hoped to complete the set. Think I have to draw the line now; I'm happy to buy new characters but won't be buying each one multiple times. Are they planning on doing B&W for every single one?

As far as I can tell, stores seem to have stopped putting the figures up for preorder now. Zavvi and Co have been radio silent since B&W Fear and the Anderson Lawmaster were announced. Perhaps they're holding fire until proof the line will see light of day?

B&W Dredd's colour scheme and proportional headsculpt, makes him look like Kraken after meeting the Sisterssssss.

Well that Judge badge packaging is neat, I like it. Just hope it doesn't arrive damaged around the edges. My SDCC Dredd/Death arrived with some bending to the upper card, with a split at the back, due to being stuffed in a slightly-too-small postage box. Managed to restore it with a little glue, filler, paint and a dab of gloss lacquer. Can hardly be seen now, but it irks me nonetheless.

However, looks like they're just delayed getting to the UK at all. Aside from a few comparatively expensive eBay listings, it appears all UK-based retailers are still in preorder stage.

Zavvi have given Dec 13 for Dredd/Death and 'Dec' for the other DJs and Giant. For the sake of a couple weeks I'll wait it out and see how they arrive. At least Zavvi seem reasonable in replacing damaged goods.

B&W Fear, Fire and Anderson Lawmaster still seem MIA on the preorder front? Star Action Figures appear to be the only place to order Fire/Cass in the UK while I've seen nowhere at all with B&W Fear for order.

And there's me having always thought our pal Morris had a horse skull! Well, TIL indeed.

Zavvi's reply was altogether useless; when asked if they could confirm when they expect to get figures in stock to dispatch, in lieu of them already arriving in stores, the reply pretty much amounted to a verbose 'when they arrive in our warehouse'. Which suggests they haven't a clue.

As for online, I'm still not really seeing anywhere with the figures in stock and ready to go for mainland UK. Does anyone know any sites where they are available to buy now? Depending on the cost elsewhere I might be inclined to cancel some Zavvi preorders.

I've had an "order update" on Fear, Fire, Morris and Giant today that simply apologises for them having not been received yet.

I'll admit I've not completely trusted Zavvi since ordering the Arkham Knight special edition from them in 2014. I was surprised to see it listed since I thought it was a Game-exclusive edition, but it was a bit cheaper so I went with Zavvi. Lo, days before release they stated they would not be getting any copies and tried to default my order to the standard edition, at a more expensive price than elsewhere.

I'm convinced they never intended to receive copies and the whole listing was a bait-and-switch hoping I'd just keep my order running. Maybe I'm too suspicious.

In that case, that was quick! "On or before week commencing 12th Dec" was Zavvi's alleged release date so of course nothing has been dispatched.

Sadly Beyond Toys only appear to have Death, Mortis and Giant available, which means if I cancel my current Zavvi orders I'll still be currently unable to source Dredd, Fear or Fire.

That link is just the BBTS e-shopfront, here's the in stock and pre-order link for HIYA's 2000AD figures:-

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?HideInStock=false&HidePreorder=false&HideSoldOut=false&InventoryStatus=i,p,so&PageSize=20&SortOrder=BestSelling&SearchText=2000ad&ProductType=321

I have used them many times in the past and their reliability and customer service is great.
Although they're based in the Big Meg, so there's high International shipping and extra import taxes to consider in the total purchase price.
Combined shipping on the in-stock Toof goodies may work out to be cost effective, though local retailers would be the cheaper method.
Depends on how strong the FOMO is.

Just received Fire and Death from Heroes. First of any to arrived for me. Simply fantastic looking 2000ad merch. Pretty much decided not to open but to look for duplicates to open. Kudos to Hiya and whoever on the 2000ad worked with them.

Klegg is now showing as IN STOCK on the official site, he should start showing up in the shops soon.
When Dredd and Death were marked a IN STOCK on the HIYA site, it wasn't long before Squaxx started reporting receiving there's from local suppliers.

Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: Lawman of the Present on 20 December, 2022, 02:08:29 PM
I'm still not finding any UK retailers with the whole range so far, in stock and for reasonable prices. 99% still show preorders, while others only have one or two toys potentially available. The ones on Amazon aren't listed by Amazon themselves, and pricing is wildly inconsistent. They also say arrival will be mid-late Jan despite showing in stock. In comparison, Amazon US have almost the whole range listed with some already sold out.

I'm hesitant to order in bulk from overseas due to a) import costs, and b) difficulty in dealing with potential errors/replacements.

All the press releases say Amazon will be stocking the range, seems strange the UK mainland should be so far behind in receiving stock. It's like being back in the 90s trying to get sneaky imports behind store counters, six months before they properly arrived.

This is becoming infuriating that the UK seems to be "left out" 😡

Why couldn't the tooth shop just sell them 🙁 this will end up costing most in the UK a fortune to complete the set as we will probably end up using Eballs

Not looking promising for further expansion of the series if this is the hassle for the first lot. Was so excited when they were launched sooo long ago

The Klegg literally just arrived here, ordered directly from Hiya. Didn't get a dispatch notice, so it was quite a nice surprise, and no import duties. Postage was a flat rate (as Dash Decent mentioned above) but I was leery about ordering multiple figures in case I got hit for VAT.

He looks really good. I'm tempted to pick up the DJs and would definitely get Mean when he is released, but maybe over a period of a few months as they're not cheap!

Klegg was shipped within the UK via Evri. When I got the Evri dispatch email the sender was some Chinese company I'd never heard of (hence the surprise)
I suspect it was sent direct from whatever hub they ship into to send to retailers.

My two Kleggs from Hiya just arrived today, no emails or import duties. Unlike the rest of the range they are in boxes with modded transparent internal holders - much like 3A.

Frankly they are THE best bit of 2000ad merch in years.

Hiya need to do a Sensitive Klegg variant asap.

I'll have to take the Squaxx's word for it because...
(https://i.postimg.cc/Ssxmnqpb/index.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
:-) :-) :-)

Klegg is the character I am most waiting to see the actual figure and packaging.
I was not willing to commit to a preorder without seeing what I would get.
1/18 scale is just not my thing but it's a 2000AD character that looks like a Sci-Fi version of an Aussie Salt Water Croc with a rocket pack and BFG.
... and the misguided hope of supporting the HIYA/2000AD series leads to greater things and releases.

Please post some pics fellows, it will be greatly appreciated.

Fresh out of his packaging yesterday:

Here's the box, if you want to see that. Noot the cool spelling of 'mercenarise'.

(https://i.imgur.com/xHvJTkN.jpg)

Packaging-wise, as BPP said the box contained a modded holder, two extra hands, the base and some weird little clips (possibly for joining the base to another? I'm not really an action figure nomally)

Looks great. I find it odd that the line has inconsistencies in packaging between the Klegg, smaller figures and the Dredd v Death twin pack. Not just in box style but graphic design, as though there's no set vision for the whole range. Having a photo of toy Klegg by the title for example is different to other releases which had comic art.

Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: lincnash on 21 December, 2022, 07:58:43 PM
Thank you very much B.B. those pics are greatly appreciated.
Klegg looks great and as BPP remarked earlier, that windowbox packaging is a great addition to HIYA's luverly products.
The 'Dredd badge' clamshell/card + bubble packaging are very nice but look to be standard style which must be damaged to open the figure.
Kleggley's windowbox looks much more collector friendly and I'd assume Dredd/Lawmaster and Anderson/Lawmaster may use this package style.
ZARJAZ!!!

Must resist because if I pay a high price for Klegg, I would just end up paying through the nose for whole 'regular' set (B&W variants have all the thrills sucked from them already, 'in package'. Not interested at all) of HIYA's 2000AD goodies.
The series has had a bit of a rocky start with the initial pre-order teasers then multiple release delays, due to the issues China is facing at the moment.
Looks to be spreading the Thrill Power now, may even expose non-scrots and Meggers to 2000AD.

This seems a really nit-picking criticism. The box is swathed it Henry Flint art. It's great.
So far Juve received 5 figure - all bar Dredd and Death - and I can't see a single room for complaint except for the fact I'll compulsively need to buy 2 of each with blister-pack packaging.

Lucky those who managed to get hold of them, they're a fine set. With how much of a pain it's been trying to source these, (mostly still unfulfilled preorders across the UK it seems, aside from a handful of sold-out stores that obtained imports, unless I'm mistaken) sadly it's killed much of my enthusiasm and I've simply been spending more time than I can really justify on the hunt.

I'm not personally willing to pay the inflated prices on eBay or Amazon nor risk import fees, so I've left the Zavvi orders open; they don't take the money til they're ready to ship, so there's nothing to lose really in hoping for the best. If they ever arrive I'll be delighted, if not then I've saved a fair few creds!

Dreddly and the D.J's can be found for recommended retail price with reasonable shipping charges on EvilPAy now.
Pre-orders and at the initial releases, the scalpers on the hive of scum and villainy's list prices (didn't seem to be selling) were double and triple HIYA's suggested retail.
You would have to assume lack of sales pulled the scalpers down to reality and the list prices have been adjusted accordingly with sales picking up.
Some auctions with low start bid but as always these get bid up to a retail price in the last few seconds by snipers, so no real bargains to be found just yet.

For anyone who still has open Zavvi orders, they're delayed again.

The HIYA site now has everything they listed before - which isn't quite everything (no Mean Machine, no Anderson with Lawmaster) - as up for pre-order.  All standard figures are $19.99 US, with the Klegg and Lawmaster Dredd being more expensive.  Regular Dredd is back in stock.

There's a warning on each item reminding you it's a pre-order.  It says shipping should be sometime between 14th February and May!  Given Fear, Mortis, etc are in the shops I would assume and hope they'd send them out closer to now than to May.  And 14th February is only a fortnight away.

The flat-rate shipping adds $10 for every item, though six standard figures were showing as $48 postage for me; adding the Dredd with Lawmaster took it to $54, so there is some tiny bit of saving there.

Still, at $30 US per figure including postage, it's still better than what I can find them for on eBay or locally.  If any Aussies know a better deal, please speak up!

I've read a couple of comments that say the forearms on the Dredd figure are on the wrong arms.  Apparently they can be swapped but as the forearms don't intentionally come off, you have to heat them to do it.

Quote from: Dash Decent on 27 February, 2023, 09:52:46 PMHiya have updated the site.
HIYA's newly updated site is looking good with Tooth art banners now.
Most of the figures are available with Dredd/Anderson Lawmasters and Cal at pre-order stage.

Time for HIYA to start repeating their previous monthly release teasers then.
Fink, Owen Krysler, Sov Judge, Kazan, Nausea, Phobia, McGruder, Chopper and Sensitive Klegg will soon all be up as monthly teaser/pre-orders through until December!  :lol:
... then the 1/12 scale series begins.  :D

Glad to see they're all becoming available now. As far as I can tell, orders to the UK accrue customs charges if over £135, so I reckon I'll buy the available figures across two purchases.

Can anyone confirm if Hiya's prices (in USD) already include VAT for UK customers?

From HIYA's new-look site, you can see their other ranges more clearly; 'Exquisite Super' 1/12 series which is 6.5", currently has Robocop and Rambo, priced $89.99 and $79.99 respectively.

They also do a 1/12 'Exquisite Basic' range with some 6" figures priced $29.99.

For those waiting for the announced Dredd 12th scale set, I would assume you're looking at the Exquisite Super series with similar pricing each to the Robocop figure.

It would be nice to think they'll keep going, but the line will have to end somewhere, I guess.  If they go any further, my top three choices would be a Sov Judge, a fatty with a belliwheel, and Captain Skank or Chopper.  They've done really well to give us a variety of Judges.  They need to expand the pool of baddies.  Chopper is really my third choice, but he's just going to look like a surfer dude with a surfboard, so perhaps a more memorable-looking villain would be better.

Having finally got hold of some of the figures to marvel at, I can say both that they really are rather fab, but also way too small.  I hope they do jump to 'normal' sized action figures, though my wallet is grimacing.

TROUBLES WITH MUH SHRINK...ING

Mean has just arrived.  Looking at him prompts the dual thoughts that this is both a great figure, and way too small.  I would love to see Mean in a standard 1/12 size.

Thankfully his dial is set on 1, otherwise he would've bokked his way out of the packaging before he even got here.

Finally got my sweaty little hands on some of these for my recent birthday. I absolutely love them - the detail is immense! The Kleggs are probably my favourite bit of Dredd merch ever.

I've got to disagree with the naysayers about the size, though - I live in an already cramped three-bed house with a mildly disabled toddler (needs a lot of bulky apparatus) and a baby on the way. I could manage one or two 1/6th figures and that'd probably be it; 1/12th I'd still have to be pretty careful; but I feel like I can really fill up the bookshelves with these beauties!

Not as much a fan of the face sculpture as the 4" Dredd, but I like the wealth of accessories and options to swap expressions.

I've also been burned by preorders. I cancelled all my Zavvi orders, and am having unnecessary difficulty cancelling & refunding a Comic Warehouse order that had been paid up front. My emails keep going ignored so looks like a bank visit for a chargeback.

As much as I genuinely love the range, I've been waiting so long that buyer's regret set in before actually getting the goods. Some are popping up reasonably priced on eBay now, but I think the money will be going towards furniture instead.

Wow

I know the extras are a great edition and I expected a price increase at most double the exquisite mini range but that has pushed it past my price point unless I win the lottery 😳.

Imagine if they did the same amount in the super range as they have in the mini you'll be punting well over a grand!!

However if they produce a Lawmaster for the Super range then that may be a Birthday/Christmas/Birthday/Christmas present from the Family 😂😂😂
Let's see how fast they announce the versions as I'm definitely not gonna pre order a "super" Lawmaster (if produced?)
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: lincnash on 01 May, 2023, 03:54:17 AM
Wow don't frequent the forum for a month and the big news drops  :o  HIYA's 1/12 Dredd!
Looking at the preview pics I can't help but feel I already have this version.
The second figure released in MEZCO's One:12 series was Dredd in 2015 and I have him in my collection (with a modern version Lawmaster too) HIYAs teaser pics with giant zipper look very similar.
Great to collect for anyone that missed MEZCOs version(s), many skipped at the time due to price and also holding out for the ThreeA version.
HIYAs pricing puts this Squaxx out of the running (I heavily bitched about MEZCO and ThreeA pricing at the time but still ponyed up the Galactic Groats anyway) with both 3A and MEZCO Dredd with Lawmasters in 1/12 scale in my collection already.
Now if this series continues with many characters from the Dreddverse being released each month, I'll dig deep on the never seen before in 1/12 figures.
Definitely up for a HERSHEY, ANDERSON and especially a factory made MEAN MACHINE >:( , CAL or GIANT not so much.
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: Dash Decent on 04 May, 2023, 01:55:21 AM
Would putting the figure in a 'real' uniform, made of material rather than colouring the plastic, add much to the cost?

I don't think the uniform looks that great and the scale of the zipper is wrong (as it so often is), which is eye-catching in the wrong way.  The 1/18 figure looks much better.

The extra hands and heads are nice, but if getting rid of the uniform reduced the price that might be worth doing.  Not sure about all the spray effects etc but will reserve judgement until I see them in reality or modelled as they're meant to be displayed.

A lot of the model shots seem to hook the badge onto the corner of the shoulder pad, which seems a good solution but not an accurate reflection of how it's meant to look.

Just thinking too, if they're going the real uniform route, that would likewise apply to any other figures they make.  I can see problems with that.  Death is a real beanpole, can they get an outfit thin enough and figure-hugging enough for him.  Ditto Anderson & Hershey.  Will the uniforms be snug or loose (which would look wrong).  Will Hershey & Anderson have zippered fronts?  The only one I can really see this working for is Mean.  It can't be too hard to produce a real fabric singlet that fits.

Horses for courses, but I can't stand 'real' clothing on model figures. Things like zips just don't scale down effectively (not to mention creases and folds) and it feels like a line is somehow crossed between 'figure' and 'doll.'

So I actually like that fabric clothes is how Hiya have gone for the 1/12th range, as it justifies my descion to plump for the 1/18th, besides the aforementioned reasons of space!

Post by: Lawman of the Present on 12 May, 2023, 11:11:29 AM
I agree with material for 1/12 scale - never scales correctly and the thickness gives rise to all sorts of awkward poses. Mezco's figures tend to look very stiff to me. While 3A's 1/12 Dredd did look very good, the Dark Judges lost their skeletal appearance and seemed too bulky.

In other news - new 1/18 'Gaze into the Fist of Dredd' Dredd and Fear twin pack announced. Looks like both figures might have tweaked colours and Fear has a new head sculpt.

This would be far more palatable to me if Fear were a standalone variant, as the duplication is milking it a bit by now. To collect the entire set, between this, the Dredd vs Death set, Lawmaster sets, B&W and regular figures, collectors will have bought Dredd 5 times now, Anderson twice, Death and Fear three times each etc. And they ain't cheap. Granted the ghostly Death is substantially different, but on the whole I never thought I'd be hoping to read "figure sold separately"  :lol:

While the idea for this set is neat enough, it's a shame that the toys aren't quite capable of recreating the pose, especially with the shoulder armour having to weirdly flip upside down to lift the arm up. If Hiya want to produce variations then that could have been one issue to solve...
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?
Post by: Dash Decent on 13 May, 2023, 02:58:12 PM
Yes, the right arm just isn't straight enough to be convincing as a punch, and although the hole in Fear's helmet goes all the way to the back, I suspect we won't be able to stand the figures close enough for Dredd's fist to protrude out the back of Fear's head.
Title: Re: Hiya Toys Judge Dredd range?

Strange choice by HIYA for a limited edition twin-pack but loving their innovative, never before seen releases.
As previously posted, slight tweak of the colour scheme and a new head for FEAR (behind the scenes, it's getting full use of the previously manufactured 1/18 DREDD + FEAR molds, I'd think).
I believe CAL and GIANT both came with additional heads, FEAR came with a trap.
Could have offered this new 'holey' head with the original release, to create a bit of extra buzz at the time.

Anyway keep up the innovative releases HIYA, can't wait to see what else your creative droids will show off.

Another mash up of existing figures. This time Anderson and the Dark Judges 😫.
Do they have excess Anderson figures and Dark Judges heads?

What other Dredd/Anderson/Dark Judges sets will they do? Suggestion welcome.

The only figure I've managed to get my hands on is the Klegg and it's really good. I've been stung by Nerd Toys (pre orders) and looking like I won't be getting a refund 😡 so I'm wary on ordering anything else.
I'll leave it up to fate if I can pick up another one or two

I think this one would look a lot better if the ethereal trails of the Dark Judges were translucent. I thought it was branches on first look. Though, it does appear Cass has a new headsculpt for this one, with a different expression.

If you're having no luck requesting an order cancellation/refund through reasonable steps before the transaction is fulfilled, consider disputing the transaction via your bank with chargeback. They might be able to help.

In terms of NERD TOYS though it looks like they are going / gone under and Jason has done a bunk with everyone's paid up money!!!!!

He isn't replying to anyone and because so of these paid for pre-orders are a year old it's unlikely the credit card or PayPal will refund, so apart from driving down there and taking a kneecap in exchange at a bit of a loss....

So, any recommendations on how to get these?

HIYA have done figures with translucent detail before or even FIRE who's all translucent.

Thanks Dark Jimbo.  I think I got a bit too enthusiastic about it!

It's been on order for such a long time.  I had no idea it was on its way, or what it was when the box landed on the doorstep at about 9am, so it was a fantastic surprise. I've since received a "your parcel is on its way" e-mail from Hiya - at 4.30ish this afternoon!  Presumably now the Lawmaster is out the Dredd figure with bike will quickly follow.

I've got one niggle with the bike, which is that the main headlight/computer screen is angled a little bit to the side on mine (you can see it if you look at the overhead photo I posted above).  Maybe there's a way to adjust it.  Also, I haven't worked out a good way to have Anderson sit on the bike properly while holding onto both handle bars.  Her arms seem too short for it.  I'm wondering if Dredd's arms will have more reach.  I seem to remember the 3A Dredd had long arms.

But it's a great model and looks the business.  Also, the machine guns are pointed straight ahead rather than flopping towards the ground as they seem to be in some of the publicity shots.  The packaging seems to force them that way, as you can see from the unboxed vs half clamshell photos.

The packaging and 'manual art' is ZARJAZ!
Those side-mounted MG's would last about 4 seconds and break if this was a *cough* childs toy and not the high-end adult collectible it's designed to be.  :lol:

Well, yesterday, after I got it out of the box, there were some BRRRRRRRRRRMMM! noises, a mad perp chase down the stairs and a few turbo jumps off the banister but that's all I'm prepared to admit to for now.  And, er, it wasn't me.  No one saw it and you can't prove anything!!!

I haven't pulled the tab out the battery compartment yet. I believe it lights up the headlights and screen, though I don't think the screen has any detail.  I'll report back when I get a chance.

The bike wobbles a little when it rolls.  With a figure in the saddle, it's quite pronounced as of course the head and shoulders sway a lot more than down close at the base.

$90 Galactic Groats!!!
ThreeA's DEATH was $60 Groats including shipping seven years ago (Drokk me inflation on collectibles is bad) and I whined hard but purchased anyway.
One DEATH is quite is enough in my collection at these price points.
Still loving the innovative and continuing release schedule from HIYA, bloody fantastic.
Hopefully I'll see something that's a "must have" and be forced to dig deep sometime in the future.

These things always arrive when I'm racing out the door to work, and when the sun is in the wrong spot for photos!

More pics later but: different box art for Dredd (of course) though the backing picture is the same.  No brown standing plate in this one (I'm wondering if it is an oversight).  Also, Dredd's left hand had fallen off (I've stuck it on the handle bar for the photo; I tried reattaching it to the arm but it all felt too loose, like the ball joint is too small or the socket is too large.  The bike is identical to Anderson's Lawmaster.

Judge Anderson - the inaction figure.

I like that Hiya are doing different things however the different things are with the same figures!

I had my fingers crossed for a bigger range of characters but when you look at their other ranges the clues are there, same figures just slightly tweaked!

I can't see them releasing anything "new" anymore but hope to be proved wrong

The ultimate custom would be to make some cooking gelatin and seal ANDERSON in her Boing® tomb properly.
Bolland's classic art always had air bubbles frozen in time, along with a suspended Cass.

Gotta commend HIYA on the innovation behind the releases.
Dredd vs Spirit Death SDCC set.
Dredd vs Fear "Fist'o'Dredd" set.
Anderson vs Spirit Dark Judges set.
and now Anderson suspended in time set.
Very good, keep 'em coming.

The next Hiya Dredd is very tempting- a cursed earth Dredd for those of us poor suckers who missed out on the 3A Apocalypse war figure. Out next year so time to save.

I have went with the recommendations from fellow boarders and purchased a couple of times direct from Hiya and it was very straight forward. So if the stocks last I'll use them again on the future.

Judge Joyce please

As I said in an earlier post, don't hold your breath- have you seen the amount of variations of Aliens and Predators but no re runs of the Colonial marines or Any of the unit or major players in the films.

On the plus point I'm very happy with few figures I've purchased

Yeah, if the new Dredd is supposed to be wearing a distressed Rad-Cloak it comes across as a dirty brown rag.

Careful what you wish for T.Mc.F.
That unpopular 1/6 scale figure (Badge, Shoulder and Eagle pads worn over Rad-cloak by magnets? what the Drokk? :crazy: ) was the death of ThreeA's 2000AD line and about 20 months later the whole company went under/the two owners separated and went their own ways.
The original release ThreeA Dredd's in 1/6 and 1/12 (plus Lawmaster!) are both very nice figures, looking over my shoulder at them now while Mezco's 1/12 'Disco Dredd' is on his Lawmaster too.  :)

I suspect they'll look at more iconic characters before Joyce - Chopper would be my bet should they expand the range, although I'd love see some judges from different Mega Cities - Joyce, Armour etc. Judge Rameses would be amazing! I think that's possibly too deep a dive for the range though.

Payday coming up for me and it's a choice between Fear & Mortis, or a GI Joe Classified Scrap Iron...

Agreed about the radcloak.  It's great for a gritty Western gunslinger look but doesn't look like it would keep out the rain let alone radiation.

Potato sack Dredd and Snow White Hershey are up for pre-order on Hiya's website.

If they add any foreign Judges to the line, here's hoping they start with a Sov Judge.

If I get any Santa money from the kids I might get The big man himself with his bike.

Not sure what is going on with HIYA's 2000AD/DREDD line.
Releases have really slowed to a halt compared to 1-2 preorder/teaser sets of pics per month which seemed standard for a while.
Seems to be plenty of 1/18 teaser/preorder releases in HIYA's new GI-JOE line.

To be fair, they've given us quite a large range compared to all the previous licencees, and they will have to draw the line somewhere, but yes, I hope we get another wave of new characters rather than variants repurposing what they've already released.  Otherwise we're likely to see...
