Mutts nuts linc, he looks fucking amazing !

I've given up asking about anything new for 2000ad from 3A. If and when it happens it'll be a nice surprise but given the gap from 1:6th Mongrol and Ro-Jaws to the next tooth release I'm not holding my breath for anything soon.

Its been quiet for 2000ad since 1:6th Dredd came out. I've had a couple of quick fixes from Unbox Industries with their vinyl Death and also a Nemesis figurine from Hachettes ultimate collection of 2000ad books. Other than those 2, pre-ordered a 1:3rd scale Dredd statue from Pop Culture Shock and thats it. Wont see that piece for a year or so. They also have a Slaine statue upcoming but no dates yet.

I've got the wobbles from going cold turkey after being spoiled for a couple of years.

thanks for sharing this one mate.

From memory Sam used some existing 3A parts and was only $50 or so at retail. Alphas costs were pointing to an RRP of $130 which just isnt happening for a 1:12th scale figure. Last I heard they were looking at other factories and such like to see if the cost could be brought back nearer the right price for the scale.

3A said in a comment on their Facebook page recently that they have plans for 1:6th. Short and sweet but positive for us lot. I've given up trying to guess what might/could happen with 1:12th.

Thanks fellas, love playing with these things and not ashamed to admit it :)

I wonder if 3A are still thinking about swapout face plates, imagine having a Carlos one on these things. What next for 1:6th ? Anderson ? Death ? Lawmaster ?? Hope 3A have something new for us to look forward to soon.

It goes over fine SIP but it looked like a tatty sack :P I didnt spend long at it though, I'm happy to have something a little bit different on one of them.

Slide replacement still enroute. CS were understanding and shipped the 2 Apoc Dredds separately for me this time. Fingers crossed it was just the big box that drew attention/delay/charges and not my name being red flagged at customs on any package from anywhere. Left HK on Friday so hopefully wont be long !

I hope to see announcements in 1:12th or 1:6th soon. If they ditch 1:12th after Fire I'll grin and bear it provided they keep going in 1:6th. Just keep going !!

A new Shotgun would be nice, didnt have the heart to contact CS a second time about the bit sticking out that should be a slot. A new one would let me cobble together 2 from the bits.

New arrival last week, blown away by the sheer size of him. 1:12th would still be my preference for display space but wow they are good in 1:6th. Couple of Dredd pics too. Looking forward to the Apocalypse variant.

Yeah the one on the left is missing the slide. One on the right has no slot to insert the stock. I'll have a go at it with pliers tomorrow, see if it should have been removed and was missed.

Rogue looking good Linc. And you've painted the screws :) One of the thing that let 3A Sam Slade down for me was the visible silver screws. I got spoiled the last few years, Hot Toys, Mezco 1:12th and 3A have mostly been clothed and I dont like the idea of going backwards again. I'd gladly make exceptions for anything 2000ad rather than not have them at all, I'd just prefer not to see the artic or screws if at all possible.

I'd love to know how well the sales went on 1:6th Dredd, hopefully well enough for another release or two. After the job they did with Dredd I can imagine how good Johnny Alpha would be. I'd happily sell up all non tooth related statues and figures to make space if 3A made a handful at 1:6th.

Its behind you ! Nice pic ted, cool statues too, love the Darkseid PF.

I've not had the shotty in his hands yet, saw your pic and went for a look.  Can anyone spot the 2 differences between them ? Does anyone else have the same issue ?

Toon very good pose looking to see you most more :)

Thanks moly :) I will be doing more pics, posing and doing photos are what makes the hobby tick for me, when somethings as astoundingly good as this Dredd it needs to be shared. I've not moved him since I put him on the PCS Dredd base, keep staring it and loathe to repose just yet. Poor statue Dredd is under a chair on his back and not likely to get his turf back any time soon....ohhh the ignominy !

Good to know the replacement slider pop's on easily SIP, didnt fancy having to force it. I need to glue the holster back into its slot after being too rough but that will be a pleasure at this scale rather than a fumble and a prayer that the glue behaves like with the little ones.

I'd love to see Rogue....either scale. I do worry about the naked body though, visible artic would suck but a rubberised body comes with reliability issues or so I hear. I'd buy whatever 2000ad product 3A put out though.

Had the same email reply from CS Dash, it comes when it comes I guess, at least they were on the ball with the reply. Try to hide the fact its not there with the pose maybe, or have him cleaning it :) I wonder if the piece they supply will go on the shotgun or not, looks like it might force over  :o If not do we need a new shotgun altogether.

Leathers are wearing in nicely, soles of the boots look so good even with their dusty weathering. I think I need to try a Hot Toy flight stand or something next to try to get him running. Poor PCS Dredd has lost his base....again  :lol:

Giants ace, hope 3A take a look at doing him in the future.

I'll be interested to see how the badges turn out, so small to get that level of detail.

Thats cool, wheres Giant ? I've seen another mod in the Mez group with a Streetfighter head inside that looked ace. Cant remember the guys name, American with a comb in his animation :P

Would have been nice if Mez or 3A could have sold an alt head and badge set as accessories, that could sell some extra figures for them at minimal production costs. I went for 2 of each of these Dredds because of the switchout faceplates as much as anything.
