Judge Anderson & Lawmaster set – coming in 2023 from Hiya Toys

Even a psychic cop who can ride the astral plane has to get from A to B – the twin-pack of Judge Cassandra Anderson and the formidable Lawmaster bike are joining the new line of Judge Dredd figures from Hiya Toys.

Rebellion and Hiya Toys are proud to unveil 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!

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.

Originally designed by Carlos Ezquerra when he created Judge Dredd, the Lawmaster is the fearsome motorbike the Judges use to patrol the crime-ridden streets and mega-ways of Mega-City One. With its twin bike cannons it can blow away perps as its on-board computer and artificial intelligence provides everything from criminal records to voice scans and can even drive itself.

Due to ship from Hiya in China in the first quarter of 2023 and retailing at $69.99 (USD), the Anderson figure comes with 16 points of articulation, shoulder and joint pads, chain and badge of office, utility belt, Lawgiver and ‘daystick’ truncheon. The gorgeously crafted Lawmaster bike comes with turning wheels and a turnable front section, while the headlights and computer screen can be illuminated.

This set is the latest addition to the brand new range of fully poseable 1:18 figures due to begin arriving in stores and online from this autumn, and will come shipped in an attractive protective cardboard window box.

Due to pressure on international shipping caused by the pandemic dates, the shipping dates for the new range have had to be set back. Please note, these are the dates for when Hiya Toys ships from China, not when they are due in stores:

  • Judge Dredd Sep 2022 
  • Judge Death Sep 2022
  • Judge Anderson Dec 2022

  • Judge Hershey Dec 2022
  • Judge Fear Sep 2022
  • Judge Giant Sep 2022
  • Lawmaster set Feb 2023

2000 AD Prog 2299 is out now!

PROG 2299 out now

BORAG THUNGG, YOUNG EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2299 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian overlord supercharging your realities with Thrill-power!

All the scrotnig current stories wrap up this issue, Terrans, with Dexter and Jaegir returning next year, and Skip Tracer signing off on its last ever episode.

Usually for an autumn jumping-on prog I have a line-up of all-new strips to follow a series of endings such as this, but this year we’re doing something a little different. Prog 2300 is going to be a bumper 48-page bonanza of zombie horror as the undead infection spreads across the whole 2000 AD multiverse, affecting everyone from Sam Slade to the Survival Geeks, Rogue Trooper to the Mean Arena.

Why are the stars of the Galaxy’s Greatest being reduced to shambling, flesh-hungry corpses? Well, you’ll have to wait seven days to find out, but let me just say that September 2022 marks thirty years since Sabbat the Necromagus was defeated in the mega-epic Judgement Day… This is a story too big to contain within the covers of the pulse-pounding weekly, so it’ll be crossing over with Judge Dredd Megazine 448, also on sale next week (though make sure you read the prog first). The ghouls are go on 21 September, my Squaxx!

2000 AD Prog 2299 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

CADET DREDD // Sentientoid’s Big Idea, part three

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Home to over 180 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, the Sov war-droid that had been hired to take out Dredd and Maitland on Atlantis seeks purpose to its life…

THARG’S 3RILLERS // The Crawly Man, part three

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of supercharged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Wales 2022, and the village of Cudd has its own customs, its residents keen to keep its traditions secret. Outsiders are not welcome, and any problems will be solved internally. So when a young girl goes missing, they hire Herne and his dog Shuck to find her…


Script: James Peaty / Art: Paul Marshall / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Simon Bowland

SKIP TRACER // Valhalla, part eleven

The Cube, the 27th century. This vast city floating in the depths of space was refitted by the Earth-led Consociation as a solution to a universal housing problem. It’s home to every kind of undesirable and wanted criminal. That’s where SKIP TRACER Nolan Blake came in, a former soldier turned psi-tracker. But now the Cube has come under the malignant influence of a nearby blackstar, and Blake has entered it on a mission…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Steve Yeowell / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

DEXTER // Bulletopia Chapter Eleven: The End of The Pier Show, part three

Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension, they found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knew who they were. But now a rogue A.I. is at large, and Dexter, Carrie Hosanna and Billi Octavo are on the run, trying to get to sanctuary in Mangapore…


Script: Gordon Rennie / Art: Simon Coleby / Colours: Len O’Grady / Letters: Jim Campbell

JAEGIR // Ferox, part eight

The Greater Nordland Republic. While the Norts are currently engaged in a galaxywide war with the Southers, it falls to military officers such as Kapiten-Inspector Atalia JAEGIR of the Nordland State Security Police to investigate war criminals. She’s also suffering from the Strigoi curse, a fault in the Nort DNA. Now, she’s entered the Miasma to appeal to General Kurga to give her part of a weapon that can wipe out the Southers…
