Christmas shopping season approaches with the introduction of a Rob Halford action figure that includes a horn-throwing feature
In an exciting turn of events for heavy metal fans, tickets for the highly-anticipated Judas Priest and Alice Cooper co-headline tour are now on sale. The tour, known as the Shield Of Pain, is set to kick off in September, with the first stop being Biloxi, Mississippi on the 16th.
The tour will take the legendary bands across North America, with stops in Alpharetta, Georgia on the 18th, and various other cities. The tour will then make its way to the UK, with a performance at the London O2 Arena on the 25th of July, followed by shows at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on the 23rd and other locations.
In a separate but equally thrilling development, McFarlane Toys has released an official Rob Halford action figure. This six-inch tall figure, limited to 4300 pieces worldwide, is one of the most exciting releases of 2025. It comes with a microphone and a base and boasts 12 points of articulation, allowing fans to manipulate Halford to lift his arm above his head and throw the horns.
The figure, part of McFarlane Toys' Music Manics series, is available for pre-order at retailers like GameStop. It is priced at $35.99, with a discounted price of $34.19 available for GameStop Pro members. The figure is scheduled for release on August 1, 2025.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time a Rob Halford figurine has been released. In 2020, toy company ReAction released a figurine to celebrate Judas Priest's 50th anniversary. However, this new action figure from McFarlane Toys marks a significant step up in size and detail. Additionally, a Rob Halford Funko Pop figure was unveiled in 2022.
The new action figure joins other notable musicians like Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper in McFarlane Toys' Music Manics series. With its release, fans can now own a piece of Judas Priest history and commemorate the upcoming tour in style.
So, get ready to rock with Judas Priest and Alice Cooper this September, and don't forget to pre-order your very own Rob Halford action figure!
