Fans of “The Law” have been waiting with bated breath for a good look at Mezco’s upcoming One:12 Collective Judge Dredd figure, and damn if the company didn’t deliver today.
I wasn’t really big on the One:12 Batman, largely because I didn’t think the hard good and soft good elements blended well (especially where the cape met the cowl). I thought the figure just looked odd. And partly because I don’t really care for Miller’s DKR Batman (sorry for the blasphemy). But I absolutely love this and cannot wait to get my hands on one.
The plastic/fabric issue I had with Batman isn’t a problem at all here. I think it’s because there’s more (better-used) plastic and the fabric has a texture that scales down better.
The bike’s just set-dressing, right? We can’t possibly be that lucky.
He comes with an insane amount of accessories.
– Iconic helmet with translucent visor
– Real leather-like fabric uniform
– Equipment belt with working compartments for grenades and ammo magazine
– Boots with holster and knife sheath
– Boot knife
-Handcuffs
– Lawgiver pistol
– Lawgiver ammo magazine
– Daystick
– Two grenades
– One set of fists
– One gun/holding hand
– One open hand
– One pointing hand
– One choking hand
– Display base and posing post
I’m really looking forward to getting a closer look at Dredd at Toy Fair next month and definitely think I’ll be adding him to my collection.
Here’s how the figure is described in the press release.
Ripped from Rebellion’s award winning comic is Mega-City One’s most notorious Street Judge, Judge Dredd. Some time in the near future Mega City One is part of what is left of a dystopian society and the law is upheld by Judges. Charged with the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner Street Judges are on the front line of maintaining order in a post apocalyptic world.
Working closely with Rebellion and comic book artist Ben Willsher to design the most accurate figure possible based on the characters current look the One:12 Collective has crafted a finely detailed figure with some truly amazing features. The Judge Dredd figure has a comic accurate, digitally sculpted likeness, a specially silkscreened spandex uniform with a real working zipper to create a realism at this scale not seen before and numerous accessories as well as interchangeable parts.
The One:12 Collective Judge Dredd features:
– Iconic helmet with translucent visor
– Real leather-like fabric uniform
– Equipment belt with working compartments for grenades and ammo magazine
