Chris Weston reveals on his blog that he’s designing new Dan Dare action figures:

There are rumours going round that a certain “Pilot of The Future” may soon be making his return to mainstream comics ( I stress “mainstream” as, for several years now, Rod Barzilay and Don Harley have quietly been producing some lovely NEW Dan Dare stories in Spaceship Away).

I’ll have to leave it to others to comment on that exciting possibility… but I am free to reveal that I am currently working on the design sheets for a series of all new 12 inch Dan Dare action figures, to be produced by Underground Toys Ltd.

The figure will be as faithful as possible to the original 1950’s character, as created by Frank Hampson… and I have received some input by Mr. Barzilay himself, Britains foremost Dan Dare expert, to help get it as accurate as possible.
