You’ll hate me by the end of this article. It’s a guarantee.
Let me begin to explain why by presenting the following image…
This beauty is the black and white variant for Mezco Toyz’s “Judge Dredd With Lawmaster” set. A full color version of it was released earlier this year for about $125.00. It’s still available to purchase, but the above black and white variant is exclusive to San Diego Comic Con.
But that’s not while you’ll hate me. Simply read on and discover why…
From Mezco:
The One:12 Collective presents a finely detailed figure with some truly amazing features. The Judge Dredd figure has a comic-accurate, digitally sculpted likeness, as well as a leather-like fabric uniform with a real working zipper.
Digitally modeled and specifically designed to interact with the One:12 Collective Judge Dredd figure, the Lawmaster is teaming with amazing details and features. In cooperation with artist Ben Willsher, the One:12 Collective team has created a truly stunning collectable loaded with some incredible features. The Lawmaster’s functions include 5 distinct sounds, multiple light-up features, free-rolling rubber-slick tires, turning handle bars, built in handcuff storage pod and a light-up Synitron GK13 onboard computer display.

Strictly limited to an edition of only 50 sets, this edition is available at San Diego Comic Con at Mezco booth #3445.
50?!? Yeah. 50 sets.
Even if you were one of those attending SDCC this week, it is more than likely that you’ll go empty handed when it comes to this Judge Dredd variant.
Why did I put you through all this just to burst your bubble? I dunno. Take it up with Mezco. Why are they so cruel for only making 50 of these?
