He’s ready for the most unforgiving place on Earth – the 1/18 scale Cursed Earth Judge Dredd action figure is coming from Hiya Toys.
The HIYA EXQUISITE MINI 1/18 Scale 4 Inch Cursed Earth Judge Dredd PVC action figure will be available to pre-order from July, and is due in stores in early 2024.
Retailing at $24.99 (USD), the Cursed Earth Judge Dredd figure comes with 16 points of articulation, plus shoulder and joint pads, and chain and badge of office. As well as his Lawmaster gun, formidable daystick, and sets of interchangeable hands, he comes wrapped in his special Radcloak to protect himself from the poisoned landscape of the Cursed Earth.
First introduction in 1977, The Cursed Earth is the irradiated wasteland separating the great Mega-Cities of the eastern, western, and southern coasts of North America. The result of the devastating Atomic Wars of the 2070s, this blasted landscape is populated by mutants, marauders, cannibals, and even rampaging Tyrannosaurs Rex. It is an unforgiving place, where even Judges fear to tread – but if there’s one future cop who can bring law to this lawless land then it’s Judge Dredd!
In 1979’s ‘The Cursed Earth’ by Pat Mills, John Wagner, Chris Lowder, Mick McMahon and Brian Bolland, Dredd famously crossed this seemingly impassable landscape on a mercy mission to deliver a vital antidote to Mega-City Two – on the way encountering blood-sucking robots, flying rats, alien slavers, and dinosaurs revived by science but let loose by the follies of mankind!
The latest addition to the brand new range of fully-poseable 1/18 scale figures from Hiya Toys, this figure will come shipped in an attractive protective cardboard window box.
The 2000 AD action figures from Hiya Toys are available to order from these retailers:
