2000 AD Online Forum

As a long time Dredd fan it kills me that there has not been a toyline dedicated to him and his universe. We've got upstart characters like 'Axe Cop' getting his own toyline, but DREDD who has had near 4 decades of history in comics has nothing. Sure we've got the fine prop replicas from Planet Replicas and we've had some sweet statues and models, and even 2 action figures of dredd himself (however they are out of print and expensive) but we haven't had a real series of highly detailed and super articulated figures of him and his friends and foes (the 'Mega-Heroes' series from Mattel doesn't count) Hell, we don't even have a deluxe figure of the recent movie version from Hot Toys or Sideshow collectibles and they'll release pretty much anything except Dredd apparently. So if you're like me and want Judge Dredd collectibles o n your shelf yet can't afford the high priced Statues Please like our Facbook page and spread the word that there is indeed a demand for Judge Dredd action figures. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Judge-Dredd-Figures-Now/141741822694080

Licensing of 'movie Dredd' merchandise is up to IMGlobal, I presume. 3A have a classic Judge Dredd figure on their schedule.

as you probably already know there is a funko Dredd out in January

Is the funko dredd the little metal guy I've seen pictures of?  I'd be super excited to see Dredd figures, or any 2000 AD figures for that matter.  I would pay way too much for a 3 3/4 Nemesis figure for example.  Package it with Grobbendonk and I'll offer up my liver.

Maplins were advertising them for £699 the other day.

As to the original question: I couldn't really care less but if it would make you all happy then it's fine by me.

Another Facebook page that doesn't credit any bloody picture they put up. Who made them custom figures?

If Greg Staples had 5p for every time his pictures were shared uncredited I bet he'd have nearly four pound by now. That's enough for QUITE A LOT OF WHAM BARS.

If anyone has a 3d printer, I am really wanting miniature figures of dredd, Hershey, spikes Harvey rotten, tweak and judge Lopez. I want them in the same scale as my matchbox land raider.

I doubt it will ever happen, but we can dream, can't we?

Isn't it essentially a fan site?  Still wrong, or are you just upset about the lack of a credit?

Doesn't matter if it's the lamest fan site or the official 2000ad page, every picture should be credited. In the case of Make a Dredd Sequel which was one of the worst offenders they shared a lot of fan art without crediting it. It's only fair, you've essentially stolen their work to promote your page. Fair usage and the internet blah blah but it's manners at the very least.

I see your point, though I don't really have an issue with it personally, unless the site is trying to in any way profit from the image.

Back to the figures - I don't know how well the Re-action figures sold, but the second wave never happened.

There has to be a market - and if you're pitching to someone to tool up for an articulated figure (compared to simpler stuff like the static ones) the conversation could be -

"We want to do a Judge Dredd figure.

What, the Stallone film?

No the one that came out last year.

Oh, I didn't hear about that, did it do well at the box-office?

...it sold well on Blu-ray

Oh is there a sequel then?

..."

And then even if it did come out, some people would be bitching because they're too expensive, because they think Dredd can reach the economies of scale of Star Wars, and should be priced accordingly.

You an artist? You ever had one of your pictures show up randomly with no credit on the internet? It's the whole "oh who cares about the artist behind the picture because internet lol" culture that makes nearly every joe-ballbag think that all artists do work for free - and that maybe, because they haven't been able to find the artist, they can print it off and sell it (under new copyright laws that's pretty much legal now). I'm not saying if you see an image you want to share you track down the artist and send them money I'm just saying at least find out who bloody did it and credit them. With Google image search (for example) it would take seconds. That's all it takes, a thought and a second.

[/rant]

Also sorry Steve yes there's no mass market for very specific 2000ad action figures per se although 3a and specialist statue people must do alright off 'em. Also I think Dredd (2012) is a culty enough film to get a figure down the line, surely? Look at all the cult films from the eighties that have loads of action figures now.

A Judge Dredd toy line would be fine by me-don't care if it's comic Dredd or movie Dredd, just give me those lovely action figures please!   :)

The problem will always be that people say they will buy the items but they always come out with a reason not to if such an item comes out.

A few years ago an artist showed 2 covers that he would make into prints to be sold to the fans. A few people on here said they would definitely buy B, while I was always going for A (it was Dredd). Come KAPOW, when myself and Mr Wells picked up our prints, we asked where the other print was. His reply was that no-one had contacted him for one.

A small but relevant anecdote, as of all the places to guarantee a few sales, you would think this forum would be it.

Even though I'd love loads of new Dredd stuff, I can see why firms would be cautious.

So, like I said... I get it, though I still don't necessarily agree.  And no, I am not an artist who would have to worry about such things.  Not trying to argue the point at all, but I'm curious: do you have a problem with Pinterest?

I am a bit surprised that there weren't any Dredd 3D toys made, even if in very low numbers.  Did I just miss them? 

It seems to me that in a short amount of time, we'll be able to design and share designs for super-articulated custom figures that we can just create at home with 3d printers.  I don't see any reason why those figures won't be just as good as the ones from Hasbro or Mattel.  I'd imagine there will be a slew of 2000 AD figures available then.

There was virtually no Dredd 3D merchandise. Bootleg casts of props turned up, and DNA turned a blind eye.

Yes it's possible that 3D printers would allow people to make their own, but you still need sculptors/modellers who are willing to make the things, and then what?

It's still unlicensed product, so they can risk getting shut down by the IP holder for trying to sell the model, or have action taken if they released a model for free for others to 3D print. (There's also the matter that some companies might be reluctant to touch copyrighted material)

If it's going to affect what Rebellion can make, and also passed on to creators (however small that is) then I don't see them just sitting there and doing nothing.

I think what will happen is that there will be models created by enthusiastic hobbyists, and freely distributed around the internet.  there's probably a whole community of hobbyist modelers already busy at work right now.  Clearly selling anything that was based off of copyrighted IP (or an artists original work) would be infringement.  I kind of see this sort of thing like the Judge Minty fan film.  Not sure Rebellion would see it that way necessarily though.

You are on very shaky ground with anyone else's IP - we only made Minty because we checked with Rebellion first and didn't take anything for granted.

I've seen propmakers pushing the boundaries by doing 'Brit-cit' versions of the movie costume, even to the point of someone claiming 'it's their copyright' because they came up with some slight variation on the badge.

I doubt Rebellion would see it quite that way.

And that's kind of the thing right, are silly old copyrights really going to stop people from creating these things in their own homes?  Not speaking for myself personally, but i'm gonna guess that people are gonna do it regardless.  People are already creating custom GI Joe and Star Wars action figures all the time - it's a thing.  I have no idea how Hasbro feels about it.

I also have no ideas what the laws are on this topic either here in the US, or in the UK.

Well indeed, ThePirateBay* currently has a 'physibles' section for 3D-printable wotsits, and has done for some time. 

Looking at a more established sub-culture, there are hordes of hobbyist modellers churning out gaming miniature greens even as we speak (a much smaller number of those sculptors are genuinely good, but some really are), some of them of licensed properties poorly represented elsewhere, but even though the marginal cost of casting additional figures once an expensive mould is made for personal use is *relatively* low, they aren't giving the cast products away.  With 3D printing the model can be distributed for free and the individual recipient can incur the costs of the printing themselves (note: it ain't free). 

It's hard to see how this can possibly be either monetised or policed, any more than any other arm of file-sharing can be. 

However, I suspect you may be waiting a good long while yet for a high-quality fan-made free-to-print 3 3/4" Dredd to bring your Darth Vader to book.

And just wait until you see what staggering levels tax on 3D printers and materials will reach once your government catches up with their potential.



*Which is of course barred by my internet provider, in accordance with Irish law. Did that stop me having a look to see how 3D stuff was going?  It did not.

So... I haven't done anything - other than conjecture what is probably going to happen once 3D printers become pervasive.  I don't have one of the things, and hadn't really thought about buying one anytime soon.  Now if it becomes a thing (which i never really considered) that would be frowned upon by the copyright holders, than that's going to become an ethical issue, and I'd suspect I'd respect the copyright holsders wishes.

I don't usually go in for merchandise, I like to READ 2000AD... I don't need all the fluff. But I already played Heroclix with my son so the 2000AD ones were required... And i already play with Lego so judge Dredd, Rogue & Stront Lego at least is required... Or Character Builder...

This model is extremely rare, basically one of a kind, only several were made. So its still one of a kind if only several were made?

Quote from Ashley Wood on his blog....

"I just love writing the name 2000AD, even though we have all trotted past said date, its still conjures up thoughts of the future, and thats why I'm writing this post today.

The future of 2000AD and 3A.

I could yap on about the details about the previous years attempts at making the toys ( best moment for me was Ro -Jaws ), but in short in 2014 we are going to relaunch the 2000AD line in 1/12th, I want to make many characters, and frankly the cost and support for large expensive versions just didn't add up, plus we all want a law-master with our Dredd figure ( much much easier and cheaper in 1/12th), hell, we all want an Apocalypse War era Sov Judge, Judge Anderson, Judge Death, Johnny Alpha with Gronk, Nemesis, fuck, even that todger Ace Garp, plus all the modern era characters... There are a shit load of them, I personally love them all, even Shako..

You guys who have the 1/12th Mongrol have already started your collections, so help me, help 3A get these done by supporting the new line, without you guys it's not gonna happen! 2000AD deserves a great toy line, fuck that, IT DEMANDS IT!"

Never bought the 2000ad stuff, they released. Though they was stunning. I like the idea of a smaller sized line of merch being released. That Sov Judge sounds rather grand.

As a proud owner of both 1/6 and 1/12 scale Mongrols, I can say that the quality of the smaller figure is really, really good - in a lot of ways I prefer it to the larger version...  Definitely cheaper too! US$55 for 1/12 vs US$250 for 1/6!

Oh my god, what a great idea!!!  Block Wars Risk would also be bloody amazing.  I freakin love Risk!  I used to have 12 player Risk battles with my pals back in the day.  I am bloody good at it too.  One guy got so pissed off he flipped the board and all the pieces up into the air when I gave him a good trouncing.  That made me cackle maniacally all the more.   :lol:

Hungry Fatties!!! That's a great one for the Spugs in the family.

Yeah, my girls would definitely enjoy that, but not sure how it would fare given the PCishness about obese people these days.  The Daily Mail would have a field day. I can see the headlines now - 'Shopkeepers crushed in Hungry Fatties protests!'  ::) ;)  'Won't Someone Think of the Large Children?'  etc etc

I'd pass on Monopoly

...and not collect 200 credits?

You win!

How many times have we came up with all these lovely ideas, only for the licence to kill them all, especially as we know the sales would never justify such a licence and it kills me to say that.

Obviously it's up to one of you creative types to invent a game, show it to Rebellion and if they say YES, then put me down for one ;)

Hmmm.... A trivia game seems like something that could be crowdsourced and put together by the hive-mind on this board. 

I'd quite like a Top Trumps set like the Marvel ones that Waddingtons released in the late 80s.
That could be crowd sourced easily but the sticking point is always balancing the categories and making sure the information is accurate (the modern Marvel Trumps I've seen have been pretty rubbish in this regard).

Quite so old bean. My suggestions are illustrative of the scope rather than actual serious suggestions.

Working with Mongoose a playable board game similar to Risk! or History of the World, etc (there are lots of this kind of thing) could easily be put together. A version for Dredd, Rogue, ABC Warriors, Dante would easily be created once the basic game is done.

A Monopoly or other city/life orientated game is similarly doable.

I will put serious thought to this and see if I can come up with a good idea to put to Rebellion. Don't hold your breath could take a while. I have two Board/RPG/Card game-designer buddies in mind to work with.

This may have popped up elsewhere on the board, but this custom Dredd figure is brill. Shame the price is so stupid. The phrase "hasn't a snowballs chance" springs to mind.

I have made a 3 3/4 inch Lawmaster and Judge Dredd figure.

That's fantastic Misanthrope - now you just need to make a few dozen more for the rest of us!

That is rad - ! Bring that to a convention I want to see it in the flesshhhh!

http://www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomfigure.php?FID=55782

summat like this would be nice!


wich I have just realised Russell posted ....how much?

£90 is just way too much for a figure. Even if it is nice, it better be made of gold, or have been up Miley Cyrus for that price!!!!!

Great Job Misanthrope  :cool:

Wow!  fantastic.  Do mind sharing the recipe?

That's some sterling work, Misanthrope.  Can you please post a pic of Joe riding the Lawmaster?

Here's my work in progress 3 3/4" Judge Dredd. Haven't had time to finish him yet. A bootleg Punisher figure is the base sculpted over with sculpy. More and better pics when he is done.

That is nice sculpting ( I have no talent were that is concerned). That is the same head I used for my custom.

More pics as requested.





The bike is just a tad too small for Dredd to comfortably sit on it. This is the best I could manage.

QuoteWow!  fantastic.  Do mind sharing the recipe?

The bike itself was a Tonka town police bike with a couple of Star Wars battle droid guns for the bike cannons. The eagle was a belt buckle from the Re:Action Dredd figure.

Dredd himself was made from a GI-Joe movie figure (Duke, I think) with desert viper forearms, the shoulder pads were from a bendy Dredd keyring from years back, the legs were from another GI-Joe figure (Firefly 2003) and the helmet was from a Tron figure (Sam Flynn).

Cheers for the props Misanthrope. Bloody lovely custom you have there, looks great on the Lawmaster too. Excellent mix of comic and movie Dredd. Hope you do some more 2000ad customs soon.

Nice work!

Yeah... love it.  I'd happily lay down good cash on these types of figures if they were a thing.

No details yet but design stages on a 2000AD related board-game are in session. Team of 2 so far (me +1) working on it, will bring in 3rd member soon.

Still be ages before I say more, unless the idea folds. So less I say means ideas are developing.

We'll not bother Rebellion yet... but will talk to them BEFORE revealing much detail of what we are up to. So again... me being back here soon might mean ideas are shelved.

There could well be some interesting Judge Dredd action figure news in the new year as well as some exciting announcements about other merchandise, including a new line of 2000 AD statues.

Oh - anyone committing copyright infringement can expect a good kicking from Tharg.

Happy Xmas all.

its march now, any news?
