Judge Dredd and Lawmaster figures appear

Hiya Toys and Rebellion Publishing have announced a new addition to the Dredd action figure line – Judge Dredd and Lawmaster.

Due for release in October, this gorgeously crafted MK II Lawmaster bike comes with turning wheels and a turnable front section, while the headlights and computer screen can be illuminated. The set also includes a Judge Dredd poseable figure with 16 points of articulation.

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. The MK II Lawmaster, designed by artist Mick McMahon and also known as a ‘Quasar’ model or ‘Q-Bike’, was a specialised model based on the existing street version of the Lawmaster but which came with twin side-mounted bike cannons and onboard A.I.. Debuting in the legendary epic storyline ‘The Cursed Earth’ where its formidable firepower helped Judge Dredd travel across a thousand miles of hell on Earth, it then returned for ‘The Hotdog Run’, drawn by Ron Smith, where Judges Dredd and Giant returned to the Cursed Earth with a party of Justice Department cadets on their final training assessment. So impressive was this new design that, on Dredd’s recommendation, it became standard equipment for the city’s Judges.

I like that the bike lights up and has actual turning wheels, which should add to the experience of having the entire line of 1:18 figures in your collection.
