The original press release for 3A's 1/12 Judge Dredd figure was sent out on November 11th 2015, announcing that the figure would be released individually, as well as part of the set featured on this page. The pre-order opened later the same month on the 26th, with the item shipping the following week.

Using a design inspired by Carlos Ezquerra, Brian Bolland, and Mike McMahon with both Dredd and the Lawmaster MK1 being available in a weathered black modern look, there was also a Bambaland Exclusive Black & White Classic Comic Book Edition that was only available as a set. Judge Dredd features a faux-leather tailored outfit, while the Lawmaster MK1 has rubberized soft vinyl tires and 6 LED illuminated lights, one each for the main headlamp and on-board computer display and four for the secondary side lights.
