Cool Dick Tracy and Flattop Action Figure Set


From One:12 Collective:

When black marketeers hire a contract killer to eliminate the one lawman who has threatened to end their crime spree, the stage is set for a colossal clash of cops and robbers. Will Ace Killer Flattop Jones Sr. fulfill his side of the bargain, or will Detective Dick Tracy get his man?

The One:12 Collective Dick Tracy wears his comic inspired, trademark 3-piece suit, trench coat, and fedora. Tracy is ready to solve any case, equipped with the tools of his trade including a service revolver, handcuffs, flashlight, two-way radio wristwatch, and more. The legendary crime stopper comes complete with three interchangeable head portraits with varying expressions. 

The One:12 Collective Flattop wears an outfit inspired by his appearance in the comic strip – a tailored suit, overcoat with faux-fur collar, and dress shoes. Flattop is equipped with more than enough firepower to get the job done including a tommy gun that breaks down and can be stored in an oversized violin case. The rogues gallery hitman comes complete with four head portraits with varying expressions. 

Order from Mezco Toyz.





Cool! You can now own an official, working Dick Tracy watch

Dick Tracy's two-way radio wristwatch was as synonymous with the comic strip detective as his yellow fedora and trench coat - and now a working model of the "radio" watch can be yours via a crowdfunding effort launched on Indiegogo.

Details:

Since the first comic strip appearance of Dick Tracy's watch in 1946, its uniquely bold and classic look has made it one of the most recognizable timepieces.

But, for over 70 years, we've only been able to dream of owning one—until now! By partnering with the official licensor, top-notch engineers, and a master watchmaker, our watch looks great, feels great, and makes the call—just like the real thing.

Now, we need your support to manufacture the world's first real Dick Tracy watch.
Not a toy or a smartwatch, but a high quality Dick Tracy watch that does three things: looks cool, tells time, and makes the call. But, even after twenty five years of searching and waiting, it had yet to come true. So, we made it ourselves!

It wasn't enough for us to make the Dick Tracy watch real—we made it official. By partnering with Tribune Content Agency, we developed a worldwide exclusively licensed timepiece that proudly represents the historic Dick Tracy brand.

The minimum pledge to own a watch is $324.

For those who can live without the "two-way radio," manufacturer Ivory & Horn offers a non-radio replica of the watch for $249 here.
