New Dan Dare Figure And Chris Weston Character Designs

[Rich Johnston]

These are the prototypes for upcoming Dan Dare figures to be manufactured by day2daytrading, known for their retro-style Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon figures).

And they're based on these model sheets by Chris Weston.






Expected release is March/April. Handy for when the Mekon invades in 2010. Which he will.

No, it wasn't. It was a sequel.

It's not that its a reboot, it's that its the 42nd reboot while the 41st reboot is still going on.


It's chaos I tell you

Wasn't it set in far enough in the future, as not to be in conflict with existing stuff?

I'm not a guy who usually buys toys, but I'm damn tempted to make an exception for this.
