LCBH Series 1 Judge Dredd

Well I will now be reviewing figures from the past and present everyday, or sometimes a week until I run out. This review of the LCBH (Legendary Comic Book Heroes) Series 1 will take a week with the 6 figures and the BAF (Build A Figure). Today I'll be reviewing Judge Dredd.

Judge Dredd is a character from 2000 AD, he is one of the judges that give order in Mega-City One. The figure is really comic accurate, with the famed helmet, the guns and the huge shoulder pads. All are new sculpts, nothing was reused from the old Toybiz Marvel Legends figure except the use of the Longshot body. The head is made of clear plastic painted on top of. You can barely see his eyes and eye brows, but they are painted, nice detail! He has a badge on his chest that says Dredd, it does have an eagle and the American shield that looks like Marvel's Patriot shield. His right shoulder pad is in a shape of an eagle and his left is the pad with raised ridges. His elbow pads and knee pads follow a similar design. His gloves has sculpted pockets, his belt has sculpted pockets and an eagle belt buckle with an American flag type pentagon. The belt also has a holster for his gun. His boots also have holsters on each side for his "Law Giver" gun and a knife.

His color scheme is black with blue tint body. Goldish yellow shoulder pads, badge, belt buckle, and the ridge on his helmet. Green with a black wash on the gloves belt, knee pads, and boots. The helmet is dark blue with red out lining over the eyes and the yellow stated above; on the ridge near his forehead area.

Articulation is a ball-hinged neck, ratchet shoulder joint (it's restricted by the shoulder pads, can't go 360 degrees), swivel bicep, double hinged elbow, swivel wrist. He has a hinged abs, swivel waist, ball-hinged hips, swivel thighs, double jointed knees, swivel shins, hinged ankle with side hinge, and his toes have a hinge as well. Nothing new, regular Toybiz articulation.

His guns are the Lawgiver with silver and black wash, and the knife is serrated. He can hold "only one" gun at a time, his right hand is sculpted for the gun because of his trigger finger, the left hand is sculpted for the knife. He comes with Pitt's right leg, it has the grey skin of Pitt with a blackish wash. The ripped jeans have blue with a wash, and the chains are silver with a black wash.

Well for this figure I'd give a 9.5 out of 10. The restricted shoulder joints are kind of hurting it. You can still find these figures at Walmart and KB Toys. Walmart are selling them for $7, but some stores sold them for the regular $10. I got Judge Dredd at KB for $6.95, or something, so I for the series a bit cheaper. Well hope you readers like this, DTM out...
