Although Judge Dredd has been around since 1977 \"\"<\/a>he was not popular in the United States until after the horrible Judge Dredd Sylvester Stallone movie premiered. Though the movie was a steaming pile of excrement it did introduced a whole new audience to the character. Then in 2012 Judge Dredd was brought back to the big screen in an adaptation that was closer to his comic book counterpart. <\/p>\n

Since Judge Dredd wasn\u2019t a household name like Superman or Spider-Man there weren\u2019t many toys based on him. Now that the popularity of the character has grown there is a market for toys and collectibles from the post-apocalyptic world of Dredd. One such collectible is the Previews Exclusive Cursed Earth Judge Dredd action figure.<\/p>\n

The Previews Exclusive Cursed Earth Judge Dredd is produced my Mezco and is part of their One: 12 line. Mezco\u2019s One: 12 line is incredible. These 6 inch figures boast remarkable poseability as well as looking impressive. The figures in this line retail for approximately $50-$80 which makes them accessible for the casual collector. Not everyone can afford to pay hundreds of dollars for an action figure. Frankly, I would be apprehensive about playing with a toy that cost hundreds which makes the One:12 line even more appealing.<\/p>\n

The Previews Exclusive Cursed Earth Judge Dredd retails for $69.99 and is worth every penny. Looking like he is ready to take on the radioactive wasteland, Judge Dredd is dressed in a comic accurate costume with removable poncho. The poncho has a Velcro closure and a decal of Dredd\u2019s badge. The neck of the poncho includes a wire which makes it poseable to either cover Dredd\u2019s face or under his chin. As for the costume, it is straight out of the 1980\u2019s. The colors of the uniform are so vibrant he looks like he just stepped out of a comic book. The blue jumpsuit is actually a bit sparkly.<\/p>\n
