Fish Collectibles has slashed the price of their Strontium Dog statue after failing to reach an agreement with Rebellion for inclusion in official products AD 2000 Online store.

The news first surfaced late last week in a Fish Collectibles social media post that has since been deleted. It is understood that we agree to sell through official AD 2000The /Rebellion online retail channel cannot be accessed. Alan Fisher has said he intends to stop building the statues and clear out all inventory by the end of August, when a storage lease required by the rebels expires and any remaining merchandise will likely be sent to a landfill. A tragic end to a labor of love.
This officially licensed statue was originally produced through a successful and widely publicized Kickstarter campaign, which produced 500 statues and raised $25,756 against a target funding goal of $20,000. Alan Fisher describes it as a passion project on his campaign page, saying:
“There’s no question that a guy like him, I don’t know why Judge Dredd is AD 2000 There are so many wonderful characters…I have to admit Johnny Alpha has always been a favorite of mine, but if I could get funding for the first one I’d be more than willing to do more and should be able to do it without crowdsourcing provide them with funding.
Unfortunately, as things stand, Fish Collectibles’ carefully crafted creations may have met their end. AD 2000 stable. Shipping on the statue is £15 within the UK and over £50 (approximately $65 USD) within the US.
