Art Figures AF-15 Heavy Armored Special Cop - He is the Law!

This is Django all over again. Watch all the sites pull it.

I doubt Art Figures would bother trying to make this at all if they had to pay licensing costs, and deal with all the other associated issues like getting licensor approval for this or that.

In terms of demand, I think there is definitely a niche demand, but it wouldn't touch something like a Predator or Iron Man figure. I don't think Hot Toys would touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Very different in the sense that Django was a licensed figure from a relatively big name company. Enterbay just wasn't going to make it because Miramax pulled the license. This is not licensed, and as Deckard said, might still conceivably be produced seeing as how about 80% of the figures these kinds of companies put out are bootlegs of a sort.

I guess the amount of attention this figure's getting included attention from the license owners. But yeah, I think there's no need to worry. It might be pulled out from US Sellers, but AF will continue with the production.

Apologies.

Posting what has already been said a page or two back.

Hopefully if poo poo hits the fan our orders maybe able to be switched over to an overseas distributer to get around it.
Well narked, not at art figures or the UK retailers but at Rebellion for sitting around on their fat arses and waiting for somebody to do all the work then step in for a slice of the cake.

So far it looks like only UK stories affected: CK, OSB and ToyHQ.

I ordered a second one from KG Hobby to cover the two that look to be lost from CK.

I bet you any money it all stemmed from somebody posting it on the official 2000ad forum.

Absolutely. People don't think.

As long as this guy is released, all is right in the world. Bring me Judge Daedd!

Someone really did that?

Not been on for a long time and have just logged in.
Can't find a trace of it anywhere but they wouldn't leave something up that would bring attention to this would they.

 

[J3D1_KN1GHT]

Should have called it Angry Magistrate.

Art had to be pretty far into production for the release date next month. This figure will still pop up. We will have to fight each other to the death for them.

"Have you seen this....."

Yes, I have and now it's canned!

We will not be working with Art Figure. We are constantly discussing new licenses with high-profile companies from around the world, bootleg and unlicensed merchandise undermines that work.

As far as I am aware they have only asked them to remove the sale page.

That's bull. All we have, to my knowledge, is a comic concerning this rendition of Dredd.

Well fack them then!
The cheek of them saying art figures isn't high profile.
Yeah maybe not as hot toys but they are getting work done!

Take note 3A!!!!!!

What a shame. I was very impressed by the figure. Hopefully we can still get it from eBay.
