Figure It Out

A range of Red Dwarf figures are in the early stages of development.

15 June, 2001

Despite internet rumours to the contrary, the arrival of Red Dwarf toys is not imminent - but they are on their way.

Previous contractors Alien Connection were unable to complete their own development of a range of figures thanks to other commitments. Now a deal has been reached with Dapol - who have already manufactured Red Dwarf glassware - and initial prototypes of Rimmer and Lister were recently delivered to Grant Naylor for examination and correction. It will be some time before the final versions hit the shops, but costume details are already looking superb.

The full set of figures is expected to include Rimmer, Lister, Cat, Kryten and Kochanski, with costumes based on their series VII garb. No news yet on whether authentic meat vindaloo stains will be included.
