3A Toys Releases a Photo of a Prototype Tharg Action Figure From Their 2000 AD Line

4

Last week’s issue of 2000 AD (Prog 1670) contained a teaser for 3A toys’ line of licensed 2000 AD figures:

This follows a press release from 3A toys, released on November 16th, 2009:

Fans of 2000 AD everywhere get set to rejoice, as 3A Toys are proud to announce their licensing agreement with Rebellion for a range of brand new 2000 AD action figures. Many characters from the pages of the galaxy’s greatest comic, from Judge Dredd to the A.B.C. Warriors and beyond are set to be made as 1/6th scale, fully-articulated works of art.

Ashley Wood, CEO 3A Toys said “2000 AD and the worlds within its pages was inspirational in igniting the dream of becoming a comic artist for me, which lead to my first professional comic job, illustrating a Dredd Story for the Megazine. It feels very gratifying and exciting to revisit this universe now with toys.”

Jason Kingsley, COE of the Rebellion Group, home of 2000 AD said: “We’re really looking forward to seeing what Ashley’s company comes up with. I need more high quality action figures for my office.”

Coming soon in 2010; the toy line that all 2000 AD fans have been waiting for.

The 3A production blog has just revealed very first image of these figures, and it’s a head-shot of a Tharg the Mighty prototype:

Isn’t that a thing of beauty! Every squaxx should own an action figure of The Mighty One! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!

Rumour has it that 3A will start with a set of ABC Warriors figures, and role out from there! This sounds pretty likely, as they recently released a line of beautiful figures based on Ashley Woods’ World War Robot, and transferring the skills utilized to make those figures to another set of robot figures seems pretty logical.

For more news on the figures, make sure to keep an eye on www.threeaonline.com and www.2000adonline.com. I will also be sure to post any updates here!

    Did I really read Judge Dredd there? I’ll conserve this information in my cheeks for later consumption.
