New merchandise gets the ‘Tharg the Mighty’ stamp of approval!
« on: 15 September, 2011, 12:04:58 PM »
2000 AD is delighted to announce a deal with Titan Merchandise to produce a range of brand new merchandise from the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

The deal gives Titan a three-year worldwide licence to produce 2000 AD-based products, including T-shirts, hoodies, travel pass holders, giftware and homeware.

These products will focus on characters across 2000 AD’s pantheon from 35 years of high-octane SF and fantasy thrills.

Titan Merchandise produce a wide variety of uniquely creative merchandise across global properties such as Star Trek, Doctor Who, Kick-Ass and Marvel Comics – their 2000 AD range will be available through worldwide retail outlets, online retailers and the UK’s Forbidden Planet chain of cult entertainment stores.

Matt Smith, editor of 2000 AD, said: “For 35 years, 2000 AD has brought us some of the most striking icons of British comics – everything from Judge Dredd’s badge to the comic’s changing logo.
“Now, thanks to Titan Merchandise, faithful readers can show that they are true Squaxx dek Thargo by purchasing Tharg-approved products.
“No traffic warden will dare give you a ticket and no thief will want to make off with your buss pass when they see the stamp of Thrill-power!”

Andrew Sumner, director of Titan Merchandise, said: “2000 AD has been on the cutting edge of the British comics industry since I bought my first thrill-powered copy in February 1977.  To most people, including me, it IS the British comics industry. It’s a real privilege for Titan Merchandise to be producing the range of inventive, quality 2000 AD products that Tharg the Mighty and his mind-blowing legion of iconic characters deserve.”

Won't you think of the poor, hungry Burdis family?

They haven't eaten properly for years!

YES send me samples now  ;)

I am thinking about buying a couple of new (second hand) display cases for the new influx of stuff that can be displayed.
T-shirts and the like end up being stored in the attic but I have certain stipulations with these. There are T-shirts I will wear and so they go in the wardrobe, there are ones that I like but don't want to wear, so I buy them and store them in boxes in the attic. Then we get to the ones I don't like, I just don't buy them  :o :-X

I wonder what "homeware" will be? Mugs and plates and stuff? I'd quite like a Dark Judges cereal bowl for my cornflakes, now I come to think of it!  :thumbsup:

I'd settle for a Nemesis tea pot. His nose is the spout, his spine is the handle and you lift his horns off to fill him up. And, if you're listening Mr Merchandiser, you can have that for free.

HA! I would definitely buy one of these. Especially if it came with a matching pair of Grobbendonk (he speaks Gibberish, a Fringe World dialect, don't you know) eggcups.
This fool got more comic books than a motherfucker!

Yes, I would also buy this. If enough of us say this, maybe it will happen?

Strontium Bog roll for me and maybe a Rogue Pooper scooper for the cat. A nice 2000ad mousemat for the office and some deep fill mugs, like the ones Starbucks do, would be great.

I was more hoping for maybe a CHOPPER ironing board. i can then be a sky surfer when the hired help has completed the days pressing.

The idea of UMPTY CANDY biscuit barrels has appeal though.



I AM VERY BUSY!
PJ Maybe and I use the same dictionary, live with it.

NO 2000ad no life!

Really in need of a new wallet. A nice Dredd themed one with “I am the law” printed on it would be great!
