Judge Anderson vs The Dark Judges – new HIYA Toys set coming 2024!
21st June 2023
“Open your mind, Anderssson! You cannot resssissst usss!” – it’s the titanic encounter between Mega-City One’s top psychic cop and the undead alien superfiends from a dimension where all life is a crime – Rebellion and HIYA Toys are pleased to announce the new 1/18 scale ‘Judge Anderson vs The Dark Judges’ action figure set.
Recreating the classic moment from 1985 when the spirits of the fiendish Dark Judges rose up from the bone-strewn earth of Deadworld to possess Judge Cassandra Anderson, the HIYA EXQUISITE MINI Series 1/18 Scale 4 Inch ‘Judge Anderson vs The Dark Judges’ set is scheduled to reach stores in 2024.
This new set, based on the original comic art by artist Brett Ewins, is the latest in the brand new range of 1:18 PVC action figures based on the world of Judge Dredd, from the pages of the bestselling comic British comic, 2000 AD.
Retailing at $24.99 (USD), this PVC set comes with 15 points of articulation. The four spirit-trails of the Dark Judges are fully bendable, allowing you to pose them around the figure of Anderson on the included platform.
With her powerful psychic abilities and irreverent wit, Judge Anderson is one of 2000 AD’s biggest characters – the perfect foil for Judge Dredd since her debut in 1981 but so popular she soon broke out into her own series. Co-created by writer John Wagner and legendary artist Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke, Camelot 3000), and immortalised by actor Olivia Thirlby in the 2012 movie Dredd, Anderson brings her special power to patrolling the mean streets of Mega-City One.
Also co-created by Wagner and Bolland, The Dark Judges are Judge Dredd and Anderson’s greatest nemeses, undead zombie Judges who decided that as all crime is committed by the living therefore life itself is a crime! Although regularly foiled by Dredd and Anderson, the Dark Judges still find ways to return to finish the job of extinguishing all life!
In an episode of ‘Four Dark Judges’, written by Alan Grant & John Wagner and originally published in 1985’s 2000 AD Prog 418, Judge Death fools Judge Anderson into crossing dimensions to his home planet of Deadworld. Once there, the Dark Judges’ overcome Anderson and use her to return to Mega-City One and recommence their murderous mission!
The latest addition to the brand new range of fully-poseable 1/18 scale figures brings to (undead) life another classic moment from the pages of 2000 AD and will come shipped in an attractive protective cardboard window box.
