A 'supreme sacrifice'

2nd August 2023

A “supreme sacrifice”, a classic moment of 2000 AD history – Rebellion and HIYA Toys are pleased to announce the new 1/18 scale ‘Hall of Heroes Judge Anderson’ figure set.

Her mind a living prison for the undead superfiend Judge Death, Judge Cassandra Anderson lies entombed in a slab of the miracle plastic Boing® – one of the most iconic moments in British comics made real in the latest in the 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.

Based on the original artwork by legendary artist Brian Bolland, the HIYA EXQUISITE MINI Series 1/18 Scale 4 Inch Hall of Heroes Judge Anderson is scheduled to reach stores in the first quarter of 2024.

Retailing at $24.99 (USD), this PVC set comes with 15 points of articulation, as well as a raft of accessories so you can recreate the drama and pathos of the conclusion to the ‘Judge Death Lives’ story from 1981, including a replacement hand, soul chip, a Boing® spray, a Boing® special effects accessory, and transparent coffin with eagle wreath.

Written by John Wagner and drawn by Bolland, ‘Judge Death’ from 2000 AD Progs 149-151 in 1980 is one of the most original and striking Judge Dredd stories, changing the course of the strip’s history as it introduces both Judge Anderson and Judge Death.

Anderson and Death are two of 2000 AD’s biggest characters – one a powerful irreverent psychic cop, the other an undead zombie who has declared that life itself is illegal!

After struggling to overcome Judge Death in his murderous quest to bring his twisted ‘justice’ to the people of Mega-City One, Judge Anderson realises that the only way to stop him is to psychically cage his spirit form in her mind – and then have her body encased in the breathable but impervious ‘miracle plastic’, Boing®. Her transparent tomb, bearing the legend ‘Supreme Sacrifice. Judge Anderson – A Monster Dwells Within Her’, is housed in the ‘Hall of Heroes’ in Justice Department’s Grand Hall of Justice – considered too dangerous to ever open.

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.
