Yes, this latest 2000 AD & Hiya Toys collab sees the classic moment from 1985 captured when Mega-City One’s top psychic cop faces off with the undead alien superfiends from a dimension where all life is a crime – it’s the new 1/18 scale Judge Anderson vs The Dark Judges action figure set.
It recreates the famous moment from Four Dark Judges by Alan Grant, John Wagner, and artist Brett Ewins from 1985’s 2000 AD Prog 418, where the spirits of the fiendish Dark Judges rose up from the bone-strewn earth of Deadworld to possess Judge Cassandra Anderson… just like this…

The set, due for release in 2024, is the latest in the brand new range of 1:18 PVC action figures based on the world of Judge Dredd.
Judge Anderson is still one of 2000 AD‘s biggest characters, the perfect foil for Dredd with her unusual attitude and irreverent wit. Created by John Wagner and Brian Bolland, some of her greatest and earliest adventures came when facing down The Dark Judges, undead zombie Judges who decided that as all crime is committed by the living therefore life itself is a crime!
Now, a few images of the new set and, below, a little bonus… the Anderson tale from 1985 that includes the moment the set is based on!
