Yeah, the shoulder eagle is a bit too bat like for my taste. And that lawgiver looks wrong too. Sure, different artists have their own take on these things, and this isn't the first time I've seen a lawgiver with a flattish top (mainly both movie lawgivers and the some in the comics). And that's not a bad thing, but with an action figure which seems otherwise pretty close to the comic version you'd have thought they'd have gone with a more iconic curved top design for his weapon.

Unless they did, and this is just an alternate swappable prop of course...

I'd have preferred something a bit heftier, too, but this time I'm going purely on personal taste rather than the comic book where size is pretty fluid.

Otherwise, yeah that's a GREAT looking Dredd.


It's gonna cost a bomb though isn't it? (That  £40.00 quoted above looked a bit expensive to me, but no for THAT scale. I'd grab a figure that size for that!)
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Spaceghost on 10 October, 2014, 08:32:05 AM
Yeah, that eagle is way too big. I wonder how easy it would be to give it a custom trim?

The eagle, and the shoulder pad (and badge and belt buckle - all the yellow bits in fact), need some sort of weathering or shading effect applied to them too, as they look really plasticky, but that may just be because these are prototypes.

Love the detail on the gauntlets, pads and boots, and the helmet is perfect.

I'd prefer a gold chain and, as Mardroid has said, a more 'classic' looking Lawgiver too, but I'm just being picky. There's far more right with this than wrong.

I've read that it will be available in 2 colour options. It was a single tweet, so not sure how accurate that is.

Presumably if it is, that might be a more gold/bronze rather than yellow.

Looks like a Carlos sized eagle, he always does the chain as raw metal too.

Excellent! I'm a fan of the more yellow than gold/bronze pads but I agree they could do with a wash over them which I'm sure they'll get.

I wonder if the two versions will be a black or dark blue suit? A monochrome/greytone variant would be brilliant!

Possibly, I would have thought that a differently painted shoulder pad would be cheaper than a different costume though.

I'm a big fan of a larger eagle. In fact, one of my favourite things is when artists draw it as articulated so as Dredd raises his arm, the feathers still hang down the side of his chest.

I love the toe protection on the boots, it looks exactly right.

The way they've done the buckles on the shin guards/holsters looks very Cliff R to me.

I love the detail in the gloves, the loop hanging on the belt (for daystick?), the extra hands, and the spare mag and cuffs in addition to the Lawgiver, boot knife and daystick.

The shoulder Eagle is just too big.  It looks like it could lift Dredd out of an emergency situation and fly him away.  The badge chain shouldn't be silver.

The Lawmaster statue is the business!  I thought we were actually getting a bike for the action figure, but who can complain about this?  The pose and bike look great, and I love the working headlights.  It's massive too!  I'd prefer the reflections on the visor weren't painted on.

Better start saving the creds.  Planet Replicas better get that new helmet out smartish!  And where's that penguin???

Forgot to add, I don't know if it's the lighting or what but the seam going under action Dredd's crotch looks a bit, er, camel toe.  That's just not right.

The Eagle shoulder pad on the bike Dredd is much better than on action Dredd, but the other shoulder pad and knee pads look too small flat.  Also the boot holster seems to have been replaced by a pouch, but otherwise, bike Dredd is teeth-suckingly fantastic in a "how-can-I-convince-the-missus" kind of way.

Completely unwarranted and unnecessary but I painted over it a little bit to show some edits I'd like to see if this isn't the final figure.  So take it with a grain of salt :)

The eagle is kinda iffy - didn't know quite what to do with it, probably if it had 3 "sections" the last section would be more equal.  I actually like the big eagle but I think the shape is weird. 

Left is original, right is edited.
-crotch is straighter
-torso is less hourglass shaped around the tummy....thought the original looked a bit girly
-made the chain gold
-made the belt buckle larger
-widened the helm at the bottom a little
-made the eagle head more eagley
-DEEPER grooves for the eagle.  Even if they didn't fix anything about the shape this would give it more interest.  Might be a photo lighting issue though.

Seriously though, I like all your refinements.  I would also go so far as to suggest they remove the painted-on reflections from his visor.  It's a part of Dredd when rendered as an illustration, but he's got a 'proper' tinted visor here that is bound to catch the light naturally.

As to Dredd himself, full New Brazillia I assume - a judge should be clean shaven, after all  'we are not in a beauty contest'.

If Mezco's DKR Batman is any indication then one Judge Dredd will be the standard release and the other will be a Previews Exclusive.

The Dredd figure has a string in his back you can pull out which activates recordings from the movie.

Thought I'd share this here.

http://thefwoosh.com/2015/02/toy-fair-15-mezco-one12-collective

     The cool news around Dredd (for me anyway) is that Mezco intends to produce his bike as well! That's right–that prototype on display with the figure isn't just for atmosphere; they want to get that sweet ride into our hands. The price point and delivery is still under consideration–it could come separately, or in a pack with a variant of the Dredd figure–but they definitely don't think Dredd should settle for walkin'.   

Really hoping a figure isn't included with the LM as I feel the LM will be pricy enough by itself.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: COMMANDO FORCES on 17 February, 2015, 01:15:46 PM

Wish I had waited to preorder these though because ForbiddenPlanet are selling them now and I preordered them off sites where I had to buy them upfront or make a 10% deposit.

Previews is a magazine/catalog for comic shops in the US and in the UK to advance order upcoming products, here's a link http://www.previewsworld.com/Home/1/1/71/940 previews will sometimes have exclusives that you can only get from them.
Like with Mezco's TDKR Batman figure, the black and grey is available to all retailers, but the Blue and grey with classic bat emblem is a exclusive only to Previews Catalog. Hope that explains things.

I was going for the rad-cloak version too but it just hides too many sins.  I could deal with the huge eagle but I'm not a fan of the yellow kneepads and having gold shoulder pads too really negates it.

I keep thinking the only way to get a proper Dredd is to buy one of everyone coming along and create a home-made hybrid.  3A body & Lawmaster with Mezco head and rad cloak.

I got the Re-action series with its blister package and now 3A doing blister package too... Those i cant open! :'( But i might still go for rad cloak dredd! Just feels weird with the latex blue color. Must make him wear the rad cloak always!:D

The more they pair the blue uniform with the Lawmaster makes me think Mezco is trying to gauge interest at cons in the figure being packed with the Lawmaster or not. I'd rather the LM be it's own release. I don-t wamt to be forced to buy another figure if I don't want it. Plus, dollars to donuts the Lawmaster will be expensive enough on it's own. :'(

I would like to have the Black and white Dredd.

But Mezco doesnt send to Europe...  You have to use Bongo International service, they will give you an American adress and store the item for you until they ship it to your adress in Europe.

Have anyone used such service before?

I dont feel like using that. Anyone living in the states who wants to help a fellow dredd-fan? ;)

I guess that price isn't bad considering you're getting two items. (Particularly if you take the individual figures prices into account... although that's more than I'd like to pay for a figure that size, even taking into account the goodies.)

I'm not keen on the colouring though. Dark blue or black uniform for me. And while yellow elbow pads might be acceptable if this were a retro Dredd, the lawmaster design (which I really do like, although a darker colour would be more appropriate) suggests this is all based on the latest version of the character from the last couple of years or so.

Kind of a shame. While we've yet to see the designs I reckon the 3a version of the lawmaster will be the classic design, so having two separate versions is a great idea (or bad idea from the customers pockets POV), but they've got to be as authentic as possible even taking into account the variation of design and style in the prog.

I think he will be a Mezco exclusive eventually. That's the word from the booth at SDCC apparently.

And in regards to the bike, I was told it is a hefty thing with some pretty big and complicated molds and also has some size to it that's the reasoning for the price tag. Also, it will be sold separately and in a few color ways. I just hope they do more characters in the series. I have the 3A figures ordered, but 3A are usually very fragile things. If the One:12 Batman is any indication, this will be a serious "take it out of the box and pose and play with it" figure. 3A are more of the fragile "don't pose or play with too much" kinda guys.

Post by: Mardroid on 10 October, 2015, 12:01:16 PM
I imagine this has probably been answered earlier in the thread, so I apologise in advance for my laziness.

Does the Cursed Earth version (the one with the long duster) come with the proper uniform and eagle pad, etc underneath? If it does I guess I would lean more towards that one (although I can't justify ordering just yet), as long as there are more options than the duster. My reasoning is largely due to the classic style Mark 2 Lawgiver that comes with that figure.

I do like the new version, and I have seen it in some of the more modern strips, but, if I get a figure, I'd want it as close to the iconic appearance as possible. Should the Mark 3 lawgiver get past it's glitchy prototype phase, I wouldn't mind that design in future stories too (although the version in dark Justice just looked like a very chunky mark 2, but then the mark 2 is sometimes drawn like a carbine version of the mark 1).

I'm not over keen on the shoulder eagle either, but not so much the size as the style, which looks off to me. But I could live with it.

I think maybe I'll stick with the 3A version, I just hope they tone down the chin in that version. Hee hee. (I do love the sleek style Lawmaster though although if I had to pick just one, - like I can afford even one, heh-  I guess I'd go with the traditional mark-1 style 3A.)

I will say the black and white version of Dredd and Lawmaster look very nice, but I'd prefer the colour route with figures.

* Okay, no such thing really with Artist's takes, and I have seen both styles, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

Yes, I think so. By 'Mark 1' I was referring to the Lawmaster bike. But having both versions of the lawgiver is certainly an asset to the 3A version.

That's one area I certainly think Mezco dropped the ball on. They should have had both or all 3 versions of the Lawgiver avaliable for fans to choose from. Personally I link the 1st version of the mk 2 LG. I believe the version they have packed Dredd with is the 2nd version (it dosent have the circular readout) of the LG 2.

Oh dear. Too sparkly for my liking. I'm not actually all that fussy. Dark blue, grey or black would be fine, but that's a bit much. (Edit- I might have forgiven that, but the gold arm, knee pads? So to get the authentic gun*, you have to get the wrong colour** pads? Grr!)

I think maybe I'll stick with the 3A version, I just hope they tone down the chin in that version. Hee hee. (I do love the sleek style Lawmaster though although if I had to pick just one, - like I can afford even one, heh-  I guess I'd go with the traditional mark-1 style 3A.)

I will say the black and white version of Dredd and Lawmaster look very nice, but I'd prefer the colour route with figures.

* Okay, no such thing really with Artist's takes, and I have seen both styles, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

** Okay, technically not 'wrong' as Dredd was coloured that way in some earlier strips. But they're in the minority!
From what I understand the 3A Dredd will have both mk1 & 2 Lawgivers.

Yes, I think so. By 'Mark 1' I was referring to the Lawmaster bike. But having both versions of the lawgiver is certainly an asset to the 3A version.
That's one area I certainly think Mezco dropped the ball on. They should have had both or all 3 versions of the Lawgiver avaliable for fans to choose from. Personally I like the 1st version of the mk 2 LG. I believe the version they have packed Dredd with is the 2nd version (it dosent have the circular readout) of the LG 2.

Just received my NYCC Dredd and I must say it is glorious.  :D I even love the packaging it comes in, hoping this will be how further Mezco one 12 collective figures are packaged as i thought the DKR one was too big and takes up way too much space.

It's a fantastic figure. 3A has really got to up their A game for their Dredd, seriously I think quality wise 3A might not be able on par with Mezco's.

Think so too! I got Mezcos Batman and its a great figure! And I love that Mezco has the collector friendly box! Not such a fan of the blister pack style that 3A decided to go with.

3A's 2000ad stuff is coming out retail so blister packs probably help to shift units.

Mezcos look to have done a bang up job, the B&W in particular. I'd order a Cursed Earth one but the disco colours are just too much. Grats to all who scored but could you turn down the 3A knocking just a touch? It's clear 3A have done an unreal job on Sidney and Sam so far. Celebrate what you have, don't snipe at the purchases of others.

You have Mongrol, Tharg or Ro-jaws from Mezco? Yes, 3a have been slow, they've had problems getting the stuff made and a bit lacking in communication but they've made a concerted effort to get the line going over the last while. What they have produced looks incredible - and I don't understand why some people think they'll be more fragile?

Anyhow - that Dredd looks incredible Pete! Really can't wait to get mine...

Wow! The black version is looking good! Happy that the shoulders are painted gold!
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 17 October, 2015, 11:26:35 AM
Yes that black version looks really good. Even the shoulder eagle looks better to me.  I'm not sure if they've changed it or I'm just seeing it differently. (I'm referring to the design not the colour, although I prefer gold over yellow.)

And the news about the dark blue Dredd and Lamaster is welcome, assuming the elbow pads are green. I wonder why they left that variant until last?

For the sake of those who prefer the black*, it would be nice if the bike is available sepearately. Unfortunately I'd imagine they'd pay more buying the separate figures than together. Although that might still be a viable route if you wish to spread payments out and can't afford to pay a big chunk -albeit lower priced overall- at once.

Concerning, 3A fragility, I only have the smaller scale (which somehow still manages to be rather large) Mongrol, so I'm probably not worthy to comment. But it seems all right. You wouldn't want to drop it, but that goes for most figures, I'd say.  The armour plating around the legs on one side has a tendency to come unclipped on occasion, but that's not actually broken and can be easily fixed. I'm very happy with the figure and I look forward to Sam when he comes.

*As I've said before, both black or dark blue are fine with me.

Edit- I'm actually rather warming to the flat top gun. I think that should be the design for the Mark 3 Lawgiver.

I'm absolutely in love with this figure! I have two quibbles a) his feet should have been on a ball joint as wide legged poses are difficult; b) a better left hand would have allowed him to grip another weapon. I'd have liked a Lawgiver/day stick combo. Other than that, he's perfect!

2 they are minor. One is the length of the zipper/colar it's just too high up and looks like one of those 80's d-bags who went around with the flipped up colar thinking it looks kewl. Two there is no left hand to hold the Baton. I missed it completely with the B&W version because I was going to display that one with a clenched fist anyway, but was very disappointed to find I can't display my figure with Both the Lawgiver and or knife and baton at the same time (something 3A already has over the mezco toy). Other then that the figure is almost perfect.

I found the zipper easy enough to close. I just placed my thumb under it and gently forced it up and it closed perfectly.

Burdis, I want you to say this to me slowly and sexily at Thought Bubble.

Video please.
Well that's one door of the advent calendar bashed in already.

There was a review video posted a while back that showed the Eagle boot tread in passing, and that (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php?topic=26850.msg893986#msg893986) was the detail that sold me on this getting one of these.  I ordered the Cursed Earth version because it also has the (disco hiding) cloak and the shottie.

Pete, given you haven't commented on it earlier, does that mean the colour version doesn't have the tread?  I assumed they were all the same.

The zip is easy.
Take the eagle and shoulder pad off, pinch and slightly pull down the leathers around and under the neck. With you're other hand use your thumb under the zip and slowly push up.
I've had no trouble!

Post by: Mikey on 28 November, 2015, 10:29:22 AM
Oh, it's not getting the zip fully up,it's more the size of it. A totally minor niggle but I wouldn't be any kind of fanboy if I couldn't find something to quibble over! Rest assured I totally love it - but I reckon 3A do the scale much better, though they're different beasts. The packaging from Mezco is far better than the 3A Death.

Controversial!  But an aesthetically satisfying compromise, and within its own immediate context, chronological (I'm a 'between 13 and 14' person).  But for the love of anally-retentive Grud is there no way you could fit that Restricted Files 1 on the lower shelf!?!

Shelving debates and I'm missing them cos they are hidden in some action figure, collectionable (whatever) thread. I'm writing to Tharg about this trangression.

Anyway I think I have an understanding of whats happening there Flip-r and given some of the irregular thinking in my own systems I really respect that of others, BUT such strict adherance to alphabetical leads to some very interesting orders. Can I just confirm the thinking behind Deadman placement, I'm assuming post Cases alphabet BUT there is clear chronological consideration straight after with the America to Tour of Duty run. Its leads to questions I can't shake...

damn we need to get a thread for this but clearly we have no right to start that Flip-r I'm begging you start one...

After deciding not to get into the dredd figure collecting thing (star wars black series is hurting my finances), I buckled the other day and bought the 3a dredd on lawmaster. Then I saw this out of his box and on display in Liverpool forbidden planet......just couldn't resist.

Not that I paid the crazy £80 that they wanted for it,  straight onto eBay and picked it up for £60.

Can't wait to get it.

Nice collection Pete. The Mezco Dredd is just lovely isn't it.

The Cursed Earth variant does look nice (with the rad cloak firmly on - I suppose for the old school yellow pads look, the name badge should be silver?), so that release only comes with the glittery blue uniform underneath?

I've just gone back and looked and that cloak is woefully disappointing compared to what we were promised.  The left one looks right and cool, the actual one looks like a cross between a sparkly Jawa's robe and a potato sack.

I think the mezco dredd is pretty much as close as you can get to action figure perfection.......and I buy a lot of tat! I'm sad that one just died in front of me.

I'm getting that cursed earth figure for my birthday,  can't wait.

3a dredd has a lot to live up to.  At this point I much prefer the mezco dredd for the head sculpt.  Can't wait for 3a dredd and lawmaker to turn up though.

Have to say as long as Articulation meets or beats MEZCO I will be a very happy man. To me that is more Dredd. Maybe a headswap as Mezco dredd face looks better IMHO or maybe sculpt my own.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Mezco and like you SIP, A Lot of varied brands in my collection of toys too.
my only one regret is not enough crunch articulation with the 2 part torso, though may totally strip and see if I can improve that.

As for the PX, alas this was Always on the cards for me, Radcloak, shotgun and MKII lawgiver to goto the Black clad Dredd. The MC1 Judicial acc's to be removed for a custom Judge and the Blue uniform body as base for my BRIT CIT Judge.
So had to take him apart, plus always nice to know how they come apart/together for customising, which for myself is essentially All i do with my toys. As none have truly ever got them perfect.

A sacrifice worth doing for the Brit Cit Judge I think.

This is the PX Cursed Earth Dredd Mezco released. The original Mezco Dredd is Most assuredly in BLACK.

Why Blue for the Cursed earth, no idea. Though think moreso a variant on the Black/Blue debate, so MEZCO could over both corners with buyers is more likely LOL

Well good luck with the customs sir! I do a lot of repaints myself and have done a few star wars customs so can appreciate the fun to be had.

My time is currently taken up fixing the dreadful paint apps on the often excellent sculpts of the star wars 6 inch black series. Jango Fett fixed,  old Han Solo up next.  😊

Yeah noticed a lot of folk having to repaint Hasbro. Personally I think Hasbro is dropping compared to the likes of S.H.Figuarts etc in detail, Articulation and paint application.

I got this brand new for only £57 from amazon posted.

These are toys Yes? I like to customise so tbh a cheap custom when I also customise HOT TOYS as well as other brands.

I have never yet bought a Toy based on a franchise that has been Perfect. There is ALWAYS something that needs redoing, resculpting etc.
Way of life if i am honest.

More importantly this figure was bought purely for the acc's and the figure to become a BRIT CIT Judge.

Yes and NO Dash Decent.

This is the PX Cursed Earth Dredd Mezco released. The original Mezco Dredd is Most assuredly in BLACK.

I actually meant the all one-piece vs shirt & pants argument, but I can see I didn't word it very well!

I know it's black but sometimes the blue uniform looks good too.

I have the Mezco disco Dredd and I haven't dared unbox it yet.  I was really sold on the radcloak but my heart sank when I saw Pete's photo of what we were getting.  Mine arrived the very next day and I didn't open it because I felt so disappointed I was thinking of sending it back.  I got busy and probably missed my opportunity so I guess I'll keep it.  I'll probably even steel myself to open the thing soon.  I look forward to seeing more of your quest to put together the ultimate Dredd figure.

Post by: teckno viking on 05 February, 2016, 02:32:49 PM
Thank You and sorry for the misunderstanding.

I personally would have loved to see the two part uniform in Black, alas MEZCO did not, now will ThreeA??

As for the PX and disappointment, I felt robbed in some ways that the only reason (for me) to get the PX was due to the shotgun, MKII (should have been with Black uniform Dredd anyway and of course the RadCloak.
I was adamant I would not but due to the hideous Blue uniform But when I started the Sculpting of BRIT CIT JUDGE parts, well the Blue uniform now gave me a base body to make a Brit Cit Judge.
Slowly all coming together now :d

As for Ultimate Dredd, well ThreeA looks like my ideal base over Mezco but that depends on articulation and any issues with the release version. Thankfully have a couple ordered so one is for customising towards the Ultimate Dredd (my pespective) with Lawmaster.

Would not say disappointed with the PX, moreso for me Judges of MC1 wear Black.
The extra new kit is awesome.
Just not a fan of the Blue for MC1 but I honestly think that is a personal issue for the buyer and thankfully for me I already had my custom idea for him.

Okay, I will, but it's still with all my six other Reaction figures.  The other Dredd,Death,Anderson, Johnny & both Slaine variants!) & the other Mezco Death figure. Along with what few Lord of the Rings action figures (A badly mutilated Cave Troll!) &  Cyborg-Gorrilla from the Spawn universe. Some Duke Nukem & two of the earliest Warcraft figures.  The head-Knight & Thrall the War-Chief. The Arch-Demon from Diablo. Along with several Star Wars figures. There all on a book shelf in my old room back in the old house. I need to climb over my bed to get those.

I had taken photos of all these on the shelf in my room years ago and thought I put them up on this message board and Facebook. They have since been removed from the latter my account got closed and the ones up here might still be found. There that clear though.

Maybe a mod can dig those up if they're willing. I'm not going to bother looking just yet.

Nice one Teckno viking!

I noticed the golden shoulderpad and I thought mine isnt shiny like that but then its a bit smaller and it must be from the Re-action figure. My idea was later confirmed when I checked your other topic on the creative thread.

Nice work! It looks great!

Im not that handy in custom making figures so I tend to leave my figures as they are!

Thanks Atreides appreciate the kind words :D

Was fun and think I need make a white Leader of the pack werewolf next time.

Yes switched the eagles around as not a fan of the Mezco eagle and shoulder pad, so used the ReAction ones instead with a gold spray paint.
It is easy to do, just hotglue a magnet in place inside the eagle or as in my case dremel a hollow area so the Earth Magnet can be embedded and jobs done.

Just finishing the work on 3 Lawmasters I am scratch building (impatient for the ThreeA release). So new dio photos soon :D

Mezco havent given dates on the navy Dredd afaik. I asked on their FB page but didnt get a reply. I hope it isnt going to have its own Lawmaster. Regular's on order and I might go for the black and white one if and when it comes out but dont have room for 3 or 4 alongside 3 from 3A. I reckon Navy Dredd will look good enough on the reg bike but its an easy one for them to do so who knows.

I may have read somewhere that the Navy figure will be some kind of special release like the NYCC. Hard to keep up with so many sources and so much speculation. If it is a special via their website I just hope its made available to intl customers.

I'm right with you on the navy blue, hope we see it sooner rather than later.

Mardroid - Disco Dredd's definitely an acquired taste mate. I really like it but black and whites my favourite so far, that might change if and when Navy comes out.

£50 is a great price but if you dont have the regular yet I'd recommend it first. That said the Rad Cloak proper MKII and the Shotty with Disco are really nice accessories so its a toughy.

Despite what I said above, I don't mind the lighter blue costume too much. I was even seriously considering ordering it (and I still might if they're not sold out too soon), but suddenly remembering those gold knee and elbow pads kind of put me off...

I guess I could paint them green, but with little experience nodding I'm not sure I trust myself.  :lol:

That is a nice array of accessories...

Yeah the pads first thing I repainted once I stripped them off the figure.

Currently trying dyeing methods on the 2 Disco Dredd suits to Black.  Hopefully work a treat and with the dye and repainted pads only niggle is the helmet LOL  Truly prefer the Standard black clad helmet over the PX but TBH not much in between them.

On a positive note, just won another PX for £30 so Three to mod now :D

But many of the early colour renditions of dredd by both Bolland and McMahon feature the gold knee and elbow pads - I love them on this figure! 

This is supposed to be a (sort of) earlier dredd after all, hence the more rounded helmet (though sadly they didn't round out the eyes).
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 18 April, 2016, 10:37:18 PM
With the style of lawgiver and the rifle, and the version of the Lawmaster that disco Dredd uses* I would say it's closer to the modern Dredd. Or an amalgam at best considering the colour scheme.

Curiously the version of the lawgiver is more like the general Mark 2 style used in the comics than a mark 1.

I have the 3a Dredd and lawmaster combo, on order, so I was thinking of having that as the yesterday Dredd and the Mezco version, preferably with that beast lawmaster, as the modern take. Could do that with the black or later navy Dredd of course, but those cost/will cost a fair bit more...

Mind you this was mainly an "if money were no object" scenario.  I was just gonna stick with 3a and give the Mezco version a miss but then they discounted the figure, and I thought...okay, maybe....

....but it was this version.

Which isn't bad, to be fair.

Decisions decisions. Heh.

I think if you can get this blue one at a decent price,  go for it.  Yeah, I've also got the 3a lawmaster and dredd on order as that's my ideal looking dredd, but the mezco figures are excellent,  and that mezco lawmaster looks incredible.  I'm saving for that one!
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 18 April, 2016, 10:53:27 PM
Yes. The 3a lawmaster is the most iconic style, but I really like the Mezco version. I guess I could always swap the figures on each bike. Disco Dredd on the classic Mark 1 and 3a Dredd on the Beast....


Yikes. Part of me shudders at that thought. I've a thing about figures being with the stuff made for them. I guess I'm not much of a modder after all. :lol:

ThreeA have a Dredd/Lawmaster combo pre ordered and a single Dredd to customise.

Have to say I truly like the Iconic Lawmaster but have to admit warming up to the Mezco one, so May have to get one.

Though with the Three Iconic Lawmasters I am building too and maybe a H Wagon, should have plenty of transport for all the Judges now.

The main thing that turns me off the Mezco Dredd is the goofy Zipper. I know Dredd has a big ol zip up the front of his uniform but the scale just looks completely wrong on it and spoils the figure (IMO)
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TordelBack on 19 April, 2016, 11:33:03 AM
I have wondered about this too. Given the difficulty in scaling down a functional zipper, wouldn't it be easier to have it  as non-functional decoration and use some sort of invisible fixing at the back or side instead? Is this normal in the 1:12 world?

Incidentally, I have chuckled at Disco Dredd in the past, but some of those photos make him look fantastic after all.

Totally Agree with that statement.  Alas now bought 3 PX just for acc;s. However leaves me to customise the figures now. Dyeing the Disco Blue suit looks to be promising and repainting elbow/Knee pads and ofc Helmet too.

Add was able to completely break down one so totally stripped. Next to see if it is possible to mod the feet for greater articulation.

So yes acc's Loose would have been Fantastic, as it is however having fun getting to grasps the durability and build of the MEZCO buying 3 PX.  Though still prefer my standard one above all from Mezco.

Spikes - Is that you Iain ? Followed the original art link on your sig and saw the Kennedy VC's page.

Selling variants with exclusive accessories is evil but I dont blame the toyco's for maximising return on design work. I dont like it mind you but I do get why they do it. 3A's 2000ad display at the Emerald City con showed their navy Dredd and guess what.....it has an exclusive shotgun :P

I'd honestly never thought about the Zip on Mezco Dredd. Just looked at pics and now I see it...thanks ! ;) Its the piece the zip attaches to rather than the teeth but it does look on the large side. I'd guess it was done specifically to minimise breakages. Instructions say dont pull on it so maybe it gave them problems and they upped the size to counter. 3A's looks similar in size.

On the Lawmaster I've not read the comic since the early 90's. I dont think I ever saw anything but the MK1. I was dead set against the Mezco bike when I first saw it but its grown on me over time. I'm a bit worried about the strength of 3A's MK1 I can see snapped handlebars if I'm not careful sticking his hands on the grips. Hopefully I'm wrong and its solid !

I'm not really buying anything these days except 1/12th 2000ad and an odd statue so I hope to be able to find the cash for all 3 3A sets. Reg Mezco bikes on order, I'd love to add the b/w bike to the figure but not heard anything regarding release date or how they will issue it. PX set is a real toughy, if I'd known they were doing the PX as a set I'd have held off on buying the single. I cant customise for shit so an extra Disco Dredd would have to be sold on.

Hi TooN,
Yes, that's me. And welcome, btw - I see you have recently joined.
So, you are one of the chaps on the FB 2000ad art pages?

Yeah, I'm mostly a lurker in there (Scott Wilkinson) I've commented on your superb Carlos Apocalypse War commission in the past.

I'm hoping to buy some art soon but struggling with the prices on pages I want. Almost bought a couple of Carlos pages last month but just couldnt pull the trigger. Prices have gone up so much in the past few years. It'll come with time :)

Ta for the welcome mate.

Ta mate. I'm trying like mad to keep away from them tbh Jason. Trying and doing aint always the same tho ! I bought the first 60 Marvel ones and have barely touched them. Could have had a really nice Carlos SD page for the same money which makes me think.

I know if I get a couple and enjoy them I'll want them all. I probably wouldnt read that many and I definitely have no space to put another 60 books. I'm tempted to ask which ones you have doubles of but thats the first foot on the slippery slope !

I've seen comments on facebook about the yellow pads on Disco Dredd and scratched my head. I see an older version of Dredd but the pads didnt stand out to me at all as being wrong. Its been a long long time since I read the comics tho and my memory isnt the best. I had a play with the rad cloak and pads on disco Dredd and took this pic. I was convinced I could remember seeing Judges with capes/cloaks with pads on the outside. Jason (and others) confirmed it wasnt the case and I was a fruit loop :P I still quite like the look of it. Oh and those are 3A Deaths hands, I was going to add some text that he's been in the cursed earth a wee bit too long ;)

Heh. I like it.

I didn't vet the discounted Dredd in the end, although I was planning to until pretty late. £50.00 isn't bad for this quality figure, but it is still expensive for something one isn't entirely happy with.

And I've the classy 3a combo coming anyway. (I hope that Dredd's feet are more firmly attached than Sam's! I like the Sam figure but straight out of the box his foot came off!)

I will likely keep my eye on Mezco Dredds and lawmaster to see if there are any deals to be had. I entered the recent competition for the Monochrome Variant too.

I will keep my eye out for other Mezco

No worries Scott, as said three doubles so if you change your mind mate LMK.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 20 April, 2016, 01:27:29 PM
Yeah £50 is too much for a figure your not knocked out by, better spent elsewhere.

I cant wait for 3A's Dredd, it seems like forever already. Gregory's said Dredd's boots will have some articulation so they need to be a firmer fit or they'll never stay on. Sams trousers seem to be preventing a tight fit with the peg. I took it apart to have closer look.

Sam's boots....Mine were the same and I'll say again as beautiful as he is, maybe best left in the packaging. His bandolier snaps open from the slightest touch, bandolier came apart on the diagonal section too, one boot tassle fell off, boots fell off. Superglue fixed the tassle and diagonal easily enough.

I had a real chew on to get the bandolier to sit at the correct height at the waist so it just covers the top of the trousers. Ended up putting a small elastic band around his waist which holds both pieces of clothing in place and also makes the bandolier tight and snug. Added a blob of blu-tac on the clasp at the back and it stays put now.

All in all it was worth it, he's a lovely looking figure just a little bit fiddly.

I saw the regular Lawamster online at just under a ton the other day. They had the PX set at £140 which made me wonder if they had priced them incorrectly. Same sets £200 at FP.

Competition for the monochrome..? What have I missed ? I want that black and white Mezco bike bad.

I love chopping and changing bits n pieces on the figs Jason, just keep me pointed the right way when I make schoolboy errors ;)

Post by: Mardroid on 20 April, 2016, 02:18:44 PM
Yes, the trouser bunching seemed to be affecting the tight fit of Sam's boots. Fabric clothing on premium figures is a nice touch, but the fit needs to be right.

Both are feet are  loose, one more than the other. Once in place he can stand okay though.

Conversely the hands are fine and they're made to be replaced! They are pulled off with little effort, which is nice as it saves on wear, but they don't just come off. I don't plan to exchange them much anyway, picking two that I like, gripping hand and fist.

The competition was in the last 2000ad mail.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 20 April, 2016, 05:17:31 PM
With the lack of artic it might be worth thinking about gluing the boots to the legs. Not like you'd be losing much as the rotation doesnt do much for posing.

I've had no problems with the hands but I've never changed them since day one. I've read comments elsewhere that people were frustrated they were falling off so maybe its the luck of the gods. I've posed my Mezcos to the point the wrists are a bit limp, Dredd would not approve ;)

I dont read the comic these days, was that a subbie based mail ? And is the competition the only way to get one ? Or just to get one for free if you won ? I dont think I'm ready to start reading the comic again but I love the figure and really want the b/w Lawmaster to go with him so who knows  :crazy:

If anyones got their box for the McMahon how to draw Dredd statue handy, the spare Eagles work quite well for an old school vibe. Fit is far from perfect but its nice to have an alternate from the one supplied.

Has anyone had new Eagles commissioned yet ?

It was an email, yes. They refer to it as the Thrill Mail, an electronic newsletter. I received another today, in fact. I think I was introduced to it via subscription (digital in my case) but I'm not sure if that is the only way to subscribe to it. I am sure someone else will be along to answer soon.

I believe the figure is a comic con exclusive (apart from this) but I am uncertain. There are a few available on eBay but the starting price is £79.99. There is one at £82.50 which has an "or best offer" option but I doubt they'll go much lower. But that might prove the cheapest option.

Don't do it! It's a right old slippery slope,  ;)

Skullmo, of this very parish, is the guy to go to, if you are thinking of buying some art by King Carlos. Why not drop him a PM, if you haven't spoken to him already that is.

I'm a sucker for a slippery slope  ::)

I think thats partly why I havent been able to pull the trigger yet. Its not a cheap hobby and do I really want to get into that kind of money. I'll happily pay it for statues but arts on a different level.

I've spoken to Julius from 'Art of Carlos Ezquerra' is that Skullmo ? I really liked some of the SD pages he was selling for Carlos but there were too many and I just couldnt decide. Indecision also cost me 2 pages of Dredd 'The man who knew too much' I still dont know if I'm pleased or sad. Sums me up with original art, I'm confused and kinda scared I make a mistake.

My wife didnt help, she said I couldnt have a title page from SD as it was 'Bitch' and she didnt want it on the wall. She liked a harmless but beautiful colour centre spread from Necropolis, my little lad wanted me to get Sisters/Dark Judges from Necropolis.

I just couldnt decide and eventually I left it mid conversation as I was running out of things to say and felt I was wasting his time. I will buy, as soon as I find something that ticks all the boxes.

As I understand it, its the 'previews' limited edition. Not sure how they are distributed as lots of online retailers have it for sale. Anyone else elaborate ?

Wish I'd known they were doing the set prior to buying the standalone. Much as I like Disco Dredd I dont think I can cope with 2 and no way would I try to customise one.

The way i'm going to display it is Disco Dredd in his Cloak and him on his Lawmaster. It gives the owner a chance to see Disco both with and without the rad cloak.

Good idea, Rad Cloak's not been on since I first got it and it was one of the selling points. Wonder what the bike/fig set comes with. I've ordered it but for the bike not the spare and accessories.

I found it hard to get the Rad Cloak to look good on him, it need folds putting in it or it looks like he's wearing a sack  :lol:

Well I dyed One of the DISCO DREDD suits and the Black certainly stayed. Just waiting to dry fully and reapply to A Body (going to try on another High articulated figure.

Glad your liking the custom Lawmasters. Be great with the 3A one's once they are released and now warmed to the Mezco one, so maybe one of those too.

Disco Dredd x 3 for me has been purely about the accessories. That the repaints and now Dye seems to be a Factor, HAPPY Days for full use of the PX now. Just need do some head mods so not 3 FARGO/DREDD clones lol  Though then again that Would be accurate too HAHAHA

MEZCO to date have released DREDD in three styles:-

A, Con event exclusive Black and White style.

B, Standard Black clad Uniform Dredd.

C, PX aka Disco Dredd. Shiny Blue uniform But with accurate MKII Lawgiver, Lawrod/scatter gun shotgun and Rad cloak. Plus different style helmet. As well as the standard kit of the previous releases.

There looks to be a FOURTH Dredd in Blue uniform with Blue Lawmaster but I believe an exclusive?? Though that is yet to be released.

I remember a catalogue being included with an order that was from or on behalf of Diamond. It contained a number of 'exclusive' items supposedly available only through Diamond or its distributors.

I think the McMahon statue 3 pack might have been where I've seen it before. I bought those from an online retailer not a comic shop though so who knows.

Edit :- Just checked last years Ebay purchases and the McMahon 3 pack was titled as follows - Previews UK Exclusive Judge Dredd Mick Mcmahon 3 pack Statues Brand New.

P=Previews
X= Exclusive

PX ?

Using RIT DYE I dyed One of the 3 PX uniforms Black a few weeks ago.

I have waited this long before showing as each day tested the material by pulling and seeing if any reactions happened.

Happy to report for those (like me) who see Judges in Black uniforms PX now becomes the DOUBLE WHAMMY (sorry '95 haters HAHA) in that All the awesome PX Acc's and now salvageable Disco Dredd figure itself.  Yes I know some like him, I don't which annoys me all the nice acc's came with him, meaning multi buys. Least however 3 Judges will be able to join my standard Mezco Dredd now :D

Just don't forget to repaint those Elbow/Knee pads and Helmets too.

NOTE  The only Blue visible is on the INSIDE of the suit. So as said WIN in my book here.

Anderson had the LG mk 1, Suction Trap, Boing can.

Closeup of the hands Mardroid. You can get the ones supplied to grip the bars but it a bit of a tight fit. These have much more room and look pretty

Thank! That's a nice touch. No pun intended.

Thanks Dreddzilla, I didnt pick up Re-action Dredd so I've never seen the Birdie. Loved the Boing spray that came with Cassie, good accessory for Death ;)

That may change I hope with the Lawmaster now released.

When I first saw the Mezco Dredd I wasn't sure about it, especially because of the eagle shoulder pad.
Anyway, the more pictures I saw of it and the stuff I read about it on this thread made me want one.
But I decided to keep spending down so I'd just stick with the 3A 1/12 stuff rather than buy more Dredd merch.
That strategy of course failed.  :D

Yesterday Mrs Albion gave me Mezco Dredd for my birthday. I love it!
I have now of course ordered the bike as my 2000AD toy fund had just enough cash in it to do so. :-)

I almost ordered the black Lawmaster for a decent deal from an eBay seller. (They had 'make offer' deals.)


And of course I would probably get the black uniform Dredd too. (Like Albion. I initially planned to just stick with the 3a stuff, and have since wavered.)

I declined the offer in the end as I have some expenses to pay off. Just found out today that I'm back on part time work too, so it was probably a wise decision.

I will keep my eye on these though. Thankfully they don't sell out as quick as 3a.

After seeing that ad in the FCBD prog 'midnight blue' Dredd and Lawmaster, I'd kinda like to opt for that one. That colour scheme is fantastic. Unfortunately, I believe it is Mezco pre-order exclusive. Never mind....

Not gospel But hearing that MEZCO are not going to do the other Lawmasters due to poor sales.
Think people hanging on moreso for the ThreeA release.

Personally IF this is true, the issue lies with Mezco with it's DISCO DREDD and making Disco Dredd Lawmaster the first release.

As said been hearing Dredd not sold so well but this is annoying if true. Guess we will see.

Would like to get the Mezco Lawmaster but having bought 3 PX Dredd's just for the radcloak and shotgun, Don't justify £200 for another PX Dredd and a Lawmaster I will need repaint.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 12 May, 2016, 01:22:02 PM
From what I've seen you can pick them up cheaper if you buy separately. Of course it might still be around £200 by the time you factor in postage.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: SIP on 12 May, 2016, 01:35:26 PM
I don't think disco dredd has hurt sales, in the end dredd just isn't a wide appealing a character as say batman. He's always going to sell a lot less. I was surprised when the marvel legends line released a dredd.

Psychology.  Still love disco dredd, my favorite of the mezco dredd figures.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: teckno viking on 12 May, 2016, 02:02:12 PM

I think the THREEA sales will be the test of How popular DREDD is. Thus far in Hand 2000ad and pre Orders he seems to be, the question of In hand is the Key!
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: teckno viking on 13 May, 2016, 07:23:11 AM
Well decided to contact MEZCO concerning DREDD & moreso the Black release Lawmaster.

Mezco stated they have NO idea what these people are on about. DREDD has been sold out for Months and all releases are still coming.

So I guess that shuts up the DREDD Nay sayers if Mezco has sold out of the figures.

Here's a picture of the ad I took this morning. Not great, as it was taken on my phone, sorry, but you can get the idea.. Last I checked (which was a few days ago to be fair) it was not on the  Mezco website yet. But that could just be a matter of time...

Anyway, it seems, they're selling them as a combo like they did that earlier release with Disco Dredd.

Few more pics of the PX set, had some fun doing these  :P

I've asked if its possible to commission a new badge for the spare Disco along with a few other custom accessories. Was going for my first name (Scott) but maybe Rico would be better. If the fella can sculpt that well I'll be seriously impressed.

He's also doing me a Law book, a daystick more like Jocks style, a Stub-Gun and hopefully some old school Eagles for the shoulders. If those turn out well next up will be Carlos MK II Lawgiver. You can never have too many accessories !

Post by: Mardroid on 26 May, 2016, 09:20:14 AM
Just ordered the Black version of Mezco Dredd. The price wasn't  quite as good as suggested.(The price given in sterling for international goods - from the US in this case - tends to be less than you actually pay. To be fair eBay state it is approximate but I do wonder where they get their conversion rates and how much is also added for conversion with PayPal.) But it was still a very decent offer.

After ordering the 3a version I was not going to order this. But I would really like to get that lawmaster* and you can't get it without a Dredd, right?

And while I do like the scrawny 3a version of Dredd, the more powerfully built Mezco version seems to fit my mental picture of how Dredd would appear. And I love all those extra bits and pieces!

It's nice to have both takes. He says, as if he is made of money... ::)

Interesting note: this particular offer did not appear when I did an eBay search. I don't know why, something to do with the way it was labeled. This might be why the price was so low, I.e. nobody was buying. (I'm pretty sure this seller is a full business seller.) It took a Google search "buy Mezco Dredd' for it to pop up, although a more broad search on ebay picked it up, but that leaves a lot more results to search through.

Look out for theblacklotus9 seller in case they have more available.

*Although not quite yet.

I'm with you here, Mezco Dredd is 'almost' perfect for me. I hope 3A's is a good match but honestly I dont know if their build quality will be strong enough to keep me happy once the initial wow over looks have passed.  Fingers crossed they knock it out of the park.

I must check 7 or 8 places for news every day. Still June for the b/w and outside of the ad in the FCBD nothing on the navy release.

Still no dates from PCS on their Lawmaster, still a June eta on 3A Dredd/Lawmaster.

Paypal exchange rates are woeful.  It's another way for them to squeeze extra money out of the transaction.  If you google it you'll find heaps of articles and commentary about it.

PayPal Steals from Its Customers with Hidden Fees (http://www.petersandeen.com/paypal-is-stealing/)

Are You Losing out from PayPal's Exchange Rates? (https://jeangalea.com/currency-exchange-rates-paypal/)

What if Paypal told you that it charges 9% per transaction. That doesn't sound very attractive does it? Almost nobody's going to use Paypal's services if they were straight-forward with what they wanted to charge you. Therefore, Paypal advertises a 4.4% fee on their website and offers poor currency conversion rates (4% lower than market rates) to make more money off you.

Aye she took the long walk after Omar (Head of PSI) sacrificed his life energy to beat a PSI opponent using the machine from the "Haunting if Sector House" story.

Then Necropolis came and she returned with the DEADMAN/DREDD. Quickly had Judges jumping and for the first time ever TWO judges who took the long walk returned to stay. McGruder as CJ and DREDD Senior Judge.

Alas Cursed earth had slightly played with her Mind and now refereed to herself the Royal "We". Later she would become more and more erratic and paranoid.

More haggard face and Yep Beard too, which she kept LOL till the day Dredd saved her from the Council of Five Death sentence and let her go down as a JUDGE in the cursed Earth saving some Meggers!

She was a GREAT Character as Head of SJS, CJ, Ex & CJ.

But a little extra fiddling with batteries (and some swearing), and - viola - sound and light!

It's nicely designed, and will make a lovely reference if and when I get to do another Dredd for Tooth!

I saw that. Very tempted, as that was the main reason I got the Mezco Dredd after all, but I've been spending a bit too much lately.

If I leave it, with the price go up?

The Mezco stuff seems more readily available than 3a after pre-order, but that question still applies.

Curiously, while I would take black or dark blue Dredd over Disco, I do think the metallic blue colour works well on the Lawmaster. But the black one seems more true to the comics somehow, so I think that's the one i'll go for.

Hi, thanks.  Yes I saw it at lunch time today but didn't pull the trigger. Have been mulling it over all afternoon because even though I'm a purist insofar as dredd 100% wears black..... I can't help but feel that this Lawmaster looks so much nicer in the metallic blue. So, think I'm going to remortgage the house and go for disco bike.

Will pick up the black one maybe at a later date. Don't think it's going to be scarce.

Well there for whoever wants it then LOL

As for MEZCO, well the figures apparently ALL SOLD from MEZCO themselves, so for them a Success. The market and second hand market is now the Key question. I personally forsee the B&W probably being the scarcest of the triple set figures.

As for the Lawmasters, Honestly I have NO idea. As we still have to see the Dark Blue Dredd & Lawmaster set to be released (the only way to get the Dark Blue DREDD too).

I see these as toys and others see these as investment collection pieces. So I guess it will boil down to GREED and forced inflation?

I found the black and white dredd is still available in online shops and readily available on eBay. I don't think that any of these will be scarce any time soon. I think the mezco dredd's and lawmasters are absolutely fantastic. I can see me owning the lot before I'm done.

I don't think that the 3a Lawmaster will be anywhere near this good.

I think the 3A Lawmaster has a LOT to live up too, just like their Dredd. However Impressed with Sam & Death so we will see.

Post by: Mardroid on 04 June, 2016, 12:12:23 AM
From the pictures (which granted don't tell you everything) I would say the 3a lawmaster is just as good, just in a different way.

I suspect it won't have all the 'piu piu BOOM BOOM' sound effects stuff of the Mezco*, but I don't think 3a are really into that.  It looks a highly detailed and quality thing.

*Not to knock Mezco. The sound effects are a nice touch.

Oh The SFX was a surprise I did not expect and tbh can live without. After hearing JBs review (working one LOL) not sold on it at all.

So Be happy the 3A does not have it. Just hope they sort the Comp Light so the whole section lights up than seeing the single bulb in the centre.

Mezco seem to have the lighting sorted but then it seems a smaller screen too. So I guess we wait and see.

Looking more closely, thinking may have to paint the Gold Eagle and rear shield once mine arrives. Looks far to plasticy in Your photos SIP.

Think your photos have been the brightest or is it just the light giving that effect?

Don't think it's the lights,  must just be the finish.  Unfortunately it's been taken off me and boxed up now. :-( Looking at dredd's pads in the pictures, they look as they do on the figure,  so I think this is a faithful representation. Didn't strike me as particularly plasticy when I did look at it though.

As for the eagle, Painted mine gold as you can see with photos I have posted, so yeah looks like painting Lawmaster Eagle and shield once here.  Curious to see what other mod's I may do to mine.

It looks like a pre-order of the Dark blue lawmaster is on eBay already. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Judge-Dredds-Lawmaster-by-Mezco-One-12-Collective-New-in-Box-Dredd-/272263779854?hash=item3f642f960e:g:mlsAAOSwzJ5XUsvL)

That being said, it isn't described as such, so I wonder if the seller is just using the wrong stock photos...

Price isn't quite as nice as it first appears once you notice the postage cost, but overall in the same ballpark as the others.

Gratz SIP :)

I think they have the wrong pics on that ad Mardroid but its worth keeping an eye on. I'd have thought Mezco would be the first to put up a pre-order for new product but who knows.

The more I look at the pics of the Navy bike the more I prefer the Disco one. Black bikes ordered but I'm not sure if I'll grab the Navy set or not. I want the monochrome more than anything, def my fave Mezco Dredd. Winter 2016 if this pic is correct, shame I'll have to buy another Dredd to get it but hey-ho !

(http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/19/40/95/97/dsc_0010.jpg)

I'm feeling mixed on 3A's Lawmaster, looking forward to them for sure but also a little worried the scales off. Mezco Dredd is a perfect fit on the bike, 3A's looks a bit small like an adult riding a kids bike. I hope its just me worrying and it blows us away.

It really does look tiny in that picture in proportion to Dredd.  Hadn't noticed that before. Might not look as strange in hand.

And that mezco black and white version looks lovely.  Haven't got the monochrome dredd yet, but if he's coming in a set with the Lawmaster then that might be the best way for me to go.

Strangely, me neither. Despite having seen the pictures on the 3a site several times. And here it looks comparatively small in two pictures....

I think that's because, in itself, it actually looks fine. It's only in comparison to the Mezco lawmaster that the 3A one looks a bit tiddly.

3A's lawmaster is truer to how Dredd actually looks on the bike in the earlier (classic) strips in my opinion. Mezco is more a modern, self-consciously 'cool' Ben Willsher-esque kind of design.

I think you probably hit the nail on the head there Dark Jimbo. Mk1 wasnt far off the size of a typical road bike it just had tons of Justice Dept bells and whistles. Mezco bike being the size it is sure makes the MK 1 seem small but thats because it was.

Sorry for alarming everyone, I just want it now and have to keep looking at pictures instead. Maybe I should stop as I'm seeing things  :crazy:

Well TBH waiting till in hand before crucifying it. Have to say Hated the look of the Mezco Lawmaster originally but warmed up nicely to it now LOL

Oh For those who liked the 3A Dredd being more slimmer to the Mezco, you maybe able to mod your Mezco Dredd to a slimmer body.

Mezco have recently released Start Trek Spock (1/12 scale), slimmer but near enough same height. Plan to get one to try the Mezco Dredd suit on him.
Looks like the legs are fine with pop off ST boots. Hands/Fore arms however will be the taxing part.

Just scouring to see if any UK sellers have them in Hand that oversea so I can try this out.

As for the Statue, nice indeed.

To me I have always seen the Lawmasters as a Little Bigger myself. After all in times of crisis the Lawmaster can take on a RADTANK or worse. Can bring down structures. So some serious power and Firepower onboard those Bikes.

As with everything from the comic world, personal interpretation :D
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 07 June, 2016, 06:25:53 PM
I've always imagined it as pretty big myself, but I'm sure the commenters above are right.

From a realism POV it does make sense for a judge to use a smaller vehicle though. While there are plenty of massive multilane highways cross-crossing the Meg(s) there are smaller roads and alleyways too, and a smaller bike can weave through the traffic easier.

Big looks good though.

I do like those statues.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: SIP on 07 June, 2016, 07:23:29 PM
I'm not Convinced, Check out a Steve Dillon picture of the original lawmaster ,  or a McMahon........the wheels are BIG, the bike is big. The 3a is definitely on the small side.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: teckno viking on 07 June, 2016, 08:19:40 PM
Smaller Bikes cannot be good for the Judges posture. Being on those all the time bar the 10 mins sleep machines.

With that, I have always seen Dredd as a 6ft 6 (akin to my height) as he is always looking down at the majority of Cits and even Judges.
So maybe when you have Cadets, other smaller height Judges and of course small females (DeMarco for instant), you need a Lawmaster they can ALL fit surely?
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 07 June, 2016, 08:59:10 PM
Those of you thinking of going the ebay route for these items*, I have noticed that the postage shown when looking at an item in a list  under the international sellers (I.e what you get when do a search.) is often a LOT less than what comes up when you view said item in detail.

I suspect it's a small bug. Since it only seems to be international sellers that have this, I suspect the initial postage you see is the in-country postage fee, or example what a U.S. buyer of a product located in the U.S. would pay. Clicking on it causes the site to bring up international charges. It will also show any import charges too, which isn't included with them all. ( I know some sellers will help the buyer by deliberately keeping the contents description vague or absent to stop customs slapping on an extra charge.)

In short- you can get nice deals from international sellers, but make sure you check the final overall price.

Sorry if I'm preaching to the crowd here!

(Just had this vision in my mind if someone seeing an $11 postage fee and banging onto the item and straight in to 'buy' and suddenly wondering why they're paying an extra $40 on top....)

:lol:

*Not a bad route to take, as far as deals are concerned.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 08 June, 2016, 06:27:32 PM
I received an email from Bongo in the States. You know that company that provides you with a U.S. address for those companies (<cough>-Mezco-<cough>) that won't post outside the USA?

Anyway, they told me to take note of their Florida address, because they'll be discontinuing their CA one. That my goods would be sent to Florida instead, and that I would be contacted when they arrived so I could request they send to me here in Sunny England. (They might not have phrased it that way, but it's definitely sunny today...)

I was a bit confused since I didn't order the Mezco Dredd from Mezco. Had the ebay seller ordered from Mezco and set something up for me to deliver? Looked like this was going to take some time. I do also vaguely remember considering setting up a Bongo account thing back when the Mezco figure was first available for pre-order, and I think I might have set it up, but I didn't utilise it at all. So could it just be a coincidence that they mailed me while I was expecting Mezco Dredd?

I doubted it.

Then a parcel just came a short while ago. That will be the 50 pence Megazines I ordered in the recent sale, I thought, what with Dredd on his way to Florida now. It will probably be a week or two to go for that. It was a bit late in the day for post though.

Nope. It was Mezco Dredd. So a coincidence after all? Maybe. Nice to know there's a Bongo address set up I could utilise in future, although I'm not sure I will. Not sure I trust all that paraphernalia.

Anyhow. I haven't got it out of the box yet, but first impressions are great. It was well packed. The box itself is a nice thing. I won't photograph it, since others already have. And I'm kind of struck by how big the figure itself is considering this is a 1/12 figure. And it really looks great.

There are minor scratches on the box, but I'll not fuss over that. Accrued in storage, I'd imagine. I think this figure has been about for quite a while.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 09 June, 2016, 12:21:52 AM
I'm back  home, and he's been taken out of the box. Very nice, although shoulder armour restricts arm movement. Those magnets are powerful aren't they?

The loop on the back of his belt seems too small for his daystick. I'm sure it would squeeze in as the attachment to the metal loop is plastic and would squidge in, but I dislike forcing things. That would cause wear.

Actually, I noticed one of the loops that fit his grenades is a tighter fit than the other too. It stretches though, so not an issue.

Hands are easily changeable, and seem a nice fit. I wondered what the wider grasping hand was for but it holds the handcuffs and a  grenade just well. I am not that fussed that he can't hold his gun and daystick or knife at the same time, although the option would have been nice. It seems to me he'd only be holding one or the other in any given situation on the streets anyway.

Lovely stand. The peg for his foot is a nice feature, although I am nervous about wear over time. As for the crane bit, I understand that it's used for jumping / mid-air poses, but where does it plug? I thought the stand to start with l, but they're both male. Not that I'm homophobic 😊 but they don't fit together man!

My quibbles are small. This has got to be the nicest figure I have, with the exception of 3a Mongrol, who is a  different kind of figure anyway. I think the reAction Slaine looks smashing but this is obviously a premium quality.

That plastic bag to hold his unattached bits was a nice surprise. I'm easily pleased, I guess, but when you spend so much on these things, these little practical additions are really appreciated.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: Mardroid on 09 June, 2016, 01:28:23 AM
Okay,I see elsewhere that the foot post comes out of the stand allowing the posing post* to fit in. Not that I've tried that yet. I suspect I'll have him standing anyway. That jumping about is a bit of a Batman thing to do.

*Or 'crane bit' in Mardroid parlance.  :lol:

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 10 June, 2016, 09:13:36 AM
Mardroid - I take the shoulder pads off, rotate and position the arms where I want them then put the pads back on. Range of articulation on the arms is spot on but the pads sometimes end up touching Dredds face.

Baton goes in the other way, put the thin end in from below and push it up, locks into place around the groove. Seen the same question several times now so dont feel daft ;) I'm not a fan of the little belt loop for the baton and have taken it off on one figure, easily glued back if I want, I think it improves his looks (when holding the baton) loop sticking out looks off to me.

Flight stand is a pop in/out replacement for the foot peg. Turn the base over and use the plug on the flight stand to push out the plug on the base. I've still not found a use for the flight stand tbh but its nice to have it, same with the little bag for attachments.

The footpeg seems really solid but the little hole on the sole of his boot does wear with use, mine are filled with spots of blu-tac to keep them in place. I also blu tac a little layer on the sole of the boot. Doesnt do any harm and comes off nice and clean. I've even got bits of blu-tac in the gaps on his boots where its worn from constant posing.

100% the best action figure of the last couple of years, Mongrol is the only other I have that beats it so great minds and all that !

Selection of hands wasnt bad but I wish they had included a pistol grip left hand, a pointing left hand and also an open right hand to maximise options. I took the left hand with 2 sets of 2 fingers offset and dunked em in a little pot of boiling water, left for 10 seconds, fished out and bent the top 2 fingers in. Dunked it in a pot of cold water and the plastic re-set. Holds a pistol or baton no problem now.

Thanks for the feedback TheToon. No dipping premium fingers in hot water for me, but I'm impressed by your bravery with all this modding and they look good!

And, yeah, those shots of the black Lawmaster look great.

Going to the Mezco site I noticed the price (which was still stated as preorder) was $125. So about the same in dollars as we pay in pounds. Give or take...

Makes it tempting to use the Bongo method, although they do state on the Mexco site you need a U.S. billing address too, but I wonder if there's a way around that.... 

Mind you I'm sure all those extra delivery charges mount up!

I have to say Modding the Reaction DREDD eagle with an earth magnet and spraying Gold does Not hamper articulation of the arm/shoulders at all.
He moves with the Eagle always fixed via magnetic connection.

Can Dredd sit on the bike seat properly?  He looks like he's suffering from piles. (That might explain his sour disposition.)  Maybe Mezco could bundle the bike with a little ring cushion accessory to add some support and fill the gap.

No worries for asking Colin, I did the art for the Dredd story in those six progs. Given it's so hard to find 2000AD down in Oz comic stores these days (no-one likes getting it through the US distributors - Diamond do a very poor job of handling 2000AD because it's over-sized), I figured I'd get a bunch of copies for the conventions I'm doing down here and have them for signings and whatnot, spreading the word of Thrillpower!

And 50p an issue was too good an opportunity to miss... :)

STOMM!

The Mezco Lawmaster is a DROKKIN Beast.

As you know my 3 custom builds are based on the Length of the THREEA lawmaster given on Bamberland.
I have a sneaky feeling mine are taller and wider but have to wait till ThreeA in hand to compare.

With that here is a compare of Mezco to custom build Lawmaster.

Mezco Lawmaster has been signed off after a test run by the CHIEF JUDGE no Less.

Chief Judge Hershey thinks with the current plight on staff and resources, these new model Lawmasters will give the Judges a much needed Back Up when None other is available.

Well, the blue Lawmaster box took it's journey into the loft tonight, but not before I freed the Disco Dredd that came with it from his little plastic iso cube. I popped him on the bike, swore at how hideous he was and put him back in the box.

OG Dredd is back on the bike. Maaaan, that Disco Dredd, what were they thinking!?!

Good to see you having fun with them Tekno :)

Definition of Marmite - Disco Dredd !  I love him to bits too SIP, better than black but monochrome still my favourite of the 3.

Just got the box for the black bike sealed up ready for storage.....then found the white slipcover behind a door...DOH !!

I dont know if its just the 'wow factor' has diminished since its my second bike but I didnt get near the same kick from the black variant. Paint job on the blue is gorgeous and this one seems a little flat in comparison. Still a cracker but PX paint wins the day for me.

Black uniform Dredd, but I think I prefer the metallic blue Lawmaster scheme from a pure aesthetic perspective. With cars I tend to gravitate towards silver and metallic blues in preference.


That being said, if/when I buy a lawmaster, it will probably be the black variant. Apart from being generally cheaper, (and most I've seen are dual purchases with disco Dredd) it feels more authentic somehow. Which is silly as I have seen the metallic coloured version in some stories as well.

DREDD Marmite I Love it LOL

Have to admit after seeing Black Clad DREDD on the Blue Lawmaster that Is an Awesome combo. Great contrast too.

However having bought several PX Dredd purely for acc's and fodder. Cannot bring myself for Another HAHAHA
So second Mezco bike is another Black Lawmaster.

Post by: SIP on 22 June, 2016, 12:52:35 PM
I was torn between the two lawmasters initially, but after studying all of the pictures I just thought you could see more detail in the blue. The guns, exhaust and seat all blur together on the black version. I think the damage detail looks more realistic somehow on the blue.  The metallic is lovely as well. I would like a black version at some point, but im very happy with the choice of disco bike.

Dont get me wrong the black bike is superb and if I only had that one I'd be a happy chap. Blue bikes just a cut above to me personally. Black ones a little flat next to the blue, all the detail is still there but in matte black its a bit harder to pick out. More lifelike I guess  :lol:

I've had 8 cars in my life, 3 black and 5 metallic blue ! Kindred spirits here Mardroid.

I've not done many pics yet Jason. Its kinda frustrating you cant do more with the bike and figure together. They look great in a typical seated pose but there isnt much more other then one hand two hand.

I took a dismount pic and then fiddled around with filters in a free software package, found a Dredd font online too. Had fun with it which is the whole point ;)

Whats your thoughts JB ? PX or black your favourite ? And who woulda thunk you would ever be asked a question like that ???  :cool:

No worries on Not taking photos Scott.

I was pleasantly surprised I was able to get Dredd to wheelie and Perp kick as easier to pose on the classic LM. Still It was doable.
Major problem is the feet tuck in isn't it :/

If I had the Blue I probably would kind of agree (as said when saw Black Clad on Blue, that was just Drokking Cool) but alas have only the black.

Seems Disco LM certainly has a following as akin to the Black LM. 
Wonder how the Dark Blue will be, flat again colour??

I have to admit a part of me wants to give the Black LM a new coat but Metallic Black as I have with my classic builds.

I''m getting used to it but its still sometimes freaks me the way he chops up new toys !!

I've not tried a 'perp kick' yet but the wheelie was day one. I'm such a big kid  :D

Nice to hear the blue bike has its fans. Either one would have done me just fine if thats all they did. 4 might be pushing it a bit but if they space out the last 2 releases (and theres nothing else out there needing my pennies) I might still cave in and go for the full set. Hope they dont make it too difficult to get them over here.

Fella in a facebook group I'm in received the black bike with knackered electronics yesterday :( After JB's thats 2 from the 15 or so I've seen people get so far. I bought the PX set from a UK re-seller so I asked him to check the electronics prior to dispatch. Might be worth thinking about for anyone about to pull the trigger on one.

Jason - I did take the dismount pic from another angle yesterday. Such great looking toys, thank you Mezco !!

Are the batteries included? I understand they won't be for this 3a lawmaster.

Now as far as Ebay sellers, Mine came from a shop in Vegas and They DID check for me when i asked after JB's original vid. So guess No harm asking. They even used old batt's so Mezco pack was still sealed.

NYCC single figure release didnt have any numbers given. Those did show up on Ebay in decent numbers at a price I grumbled about but not that much. Bike set limited to 50 pieces :(  Hopefully proper fans at the con will get a good chunk of them. Scalpers that pick up the rest will have a field day on Ebay.

I've asked on Mezco's FB if they are planning a single bike release later. I'm not hopeful on a reply tbh, even if it is to be released later its unlikely they would admit it until after SDCC. Asked if any implications for the Navy blue set as well, any reply I'll post.

Post by: TheTooN on 20 July, 2016, 04:43:47 PM
Had a brief PM from Mezco. No plans for a single release on the b/w bike. No reply/comment on news of the blue set.

Maybe we could whip up a storm of protest and let them know these variants are very much wanted. If they can make 50 they can make 500 or a 5000. Sell them like 3A do with payment up front. Same with the Navy blue set if it doesnt see light of day.

Am I wrong in thinking there are plenty of folks who want to add the black and white bike and the Navy set in future ?

After investing over £500 in Mezco Dredd/Lawmaster combo's this tiny 50 issue size feels like a smack in the face.......maybe I'm just anal but collecting isnt near as much fun if its made nigh on impossible to complete. I'm guessing the odd sets that show up on US Ebay will be $500-600, add customs and its getting silly. Pop Culture Shock Urban Dredd or a third bike variant ?

And yes, I've got nothing better to do with my time today than whinge about little plastic men  :-[ :lol:

I have always been a believer that the limited run is the home to scalpers. I still remember when the Mondo Dredd poster went live and was sold out in seconds. Obviously before hand quite a few were listed on ebay for sale at 3 times the price, how is that possible!
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 20 July, 2016, 09:57:47 PM
Scalpers are both the bane and the saviours of collectors. When they take short packed toys off shelves in Supermarkets and toy shops they deprive the kids for a profit which is sad.

When they scoop up exclusives, folks who cant attend the cons get a choice. Buy it at inflated prices and see the process repeated over and over. 'But' get the toy/collectible. 'or' Do without the toy/collectible only to see it sell anyway....and then see others photos online and feel even worse.

On a more positive note Mezco just Pm'd to say the Navy set will still be released. Not sure I want it if I cant have the full set. Toys well and truly out of pram  :rolleyes: :lol:

Woke up with a sore head this morning.  :crazy: :sick: I'd told myself I wasnt going to pay that much for one but I'm so weak after a few beers. As soon as I saw JB had one I was off to Ebay to look for one like a rat up a rope.

My browser should have a breathalyzer before it lets me on Ebay !

I'd been pinging PM's to Mezco asking if they would release a standalone black and white bike at a later date.  No plans to at this time. 'various reasons' why they only made the 50. Never say never though, I hope they do but they better change up the packaging so the SDCC one doesnt lose too much value. If its just an SDCC sticker difference I'll be feeling even more green than I was this morning.

I managed to secure a 2nd SDCC set yesterday at cost + a tip for the guys time.

Messaged the Ebay seller to apologise and ask for a cancellation on the $500 set. 14 hours between buying and cancelling.

Seller not interested, no cancellation, no returns....package already gone to Fedex. Asked for the tracking info....cant give you it as the paperwork has 200 items on it and its against data protection. Sounded fishy to me but I said if he could provide proof of posting prior to my cancellation I'd accept it with good grace. I was at fault for drinking and Ebaying after all !

He said I was calling him a liar by asking for the proof of postage. Decided to end the conversation as it was going no-where.

Tracking info arrived at 4:14am this morning 12 hours after I asked for cancellation. Phoned Ebay and Paypal for advice, they say he shouldnt have sent it out after your cancellation. Wait for it to arrive, open a case and return. Worst case scenario I'll end up with 2 sets  :-[ :crazy:

As of last night sets were still available at Mezco's booth.

I'll ask if the guys there again today, friend of a friend of a friend deal so I dont know either way. If he's still there I'll see if he's happy to PM you his facebook details.

Update on Ebay. Seller hasnt shipped, he printed the label at 4:14 am but its still with him. Wont accept a cancellation, wont accept a return. Messaged him to say this was silly but he's staying firm. I've bought from Ebay for years and years but selling seems to me to be a bit of a nightmare. I appreciate drunken buyers dont help at all and I feel embarrassed to have asked to cancel but feel I'm within my rights given the very short duration from hitting BIN and cancelling.

Dont drink and Ebay folks.  :-[

Post by: TheTooN on 25 July, 2016, 08:49:22 AM
I've bought from several different suppliers. Black Dredd and separate black bike both came via UK Ebay. £65 and £130 from memory, shipped within the UK. Might be another few Euros to ROI. Both were still for sale on there last time I looked. Blue PX Set was also still on Ebay at around £200ish.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: jflynn on 25 July, 2016, 12:42:06 PM
Mezco tells me that any additional stock of the Black and White Lawmaster set will be sold via the website. No confirmation of whether they had any left at the end of the con...

...keeping my fingers crossed...
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 25 July, 2016, 06:44:42 PM
Mezco will probably mention it on their facebook page first, assuming they do have stock left. First come first served, I dont imagine it will last long. 3A had a limited stock of SDCC Mongrol up on Bambaland and I'm told they didnt last 10 minutes. Missed out on that one myself.

Or, maybe they will run a competition, but they dont usually open those up to non US residents from what I've seen so far.

I'm the only idiot thats bitten the scalpers hand off to date, 2 up on US Ebay now but none sold since Friday night. If they dont move soon maybe they will start dropping the ransom.

First pics I took were really awful, I've since learned to leave badge, belt, zip alone until the figs in the right pose. Once happy, twist the gloves around so the pockets face out, make sure the belt sits at the correct height, badge is in correct position and vertical. And finally the zips up as far as it goes in case John see's it  :lol: Zip's dont behave very well tho, its that bloody chin !!

From memory we had to send in five round 'tokens' cut from the backing card the figures were attached to.  My brother and I had hung on to all the cards for all the figures we ever got (so we could keep the pictures of the characters; we had no idea about future collection value or any of that malarkey).  We were able to send off for two sets straight away, no sweat.  As a kid, that was so great!  The kits were also good because they came with some extra guns which solved some of the problems with characters being bundled with wrong guns (e.g. Bespin Han coming with some other gun rather than his DL-44, not that the accessory kit solved that).

@Judge Brian

I've pre-ordered a couple of time online and seen stock come in everywhere else 'but' who I chose. I just bought elsewhere and cancelled with no problem. Customer services lady said they buy up unsold stock so its a little later than everyone else. Usually cheaper though. They did eventually get the PX bike set in for £160 which was a bargain. Dont know if thats the same with your lot but it could make sense.

Good luck with it.

SDCC set arrived. Collar/zip have been improved ! I hope that will carry onto the final blue variant. Much easier to pose without his chin opening the zip now, especially on the bike when he's looking down the handlebars. SDCC fig on left. Lower collar, shortened zip on SDCC compared to NYCC, black and blue.

Bike's white parts have a hand painted feel to them, quite different to the 1st 2 bikes. Shoulder pads even more so, distinct paint lines. It wouldnt work on a colour figure but its good on b/w.

Couple of oddities on the packaging pics. Glass at rear is show red as the 1st 2 bikes but its actually clear like the front lights. Screen display is shown as green as 1st 2 bikes but its actually white. No mention of SDCC at all, printed Mezco Direct Exclusive badge on one side and a silvery sticker saying the same on the opposite side.

Missed out on the latest black and white lawmaster on eBay. Was really hoping it wouldn't go for mad money as it had no bidders until late last night...

Have to say...I'll be gutted if the don't do a solo release...I have the disco lawmaster and had plans to buy all four but would be less tempted to stump up for the black and blue versions if I know I'll never be able to complete the collection...
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: SIP on 04 August, 2016, 08:17:10 AM
Yup, I feel the same way. I'm a completist when it comes to these things but when it comes to releasing incredibly limited figures it prices me out of the game. I could find the money, but there is no way I'm paying that much for something worth £100-£150.

As such, I can't get the set.....so I'll just stick with disco dredd and lawmaster (which i love) and mezco just misses out on really easy sales. Don't imagine I'm the only one who feels this way. The star wars black series just did the same to me, got fed up and dumped the line.

Sideshow and hot toys are currently getting my money.

Nice one moly, he's a cracker. 3A 1/6th Dredd will be up for pre-order soon if you fancy an action man sized play/display Dredd ;)

I admire your willpower Smudge, mine leaves a lot to be desired at times. I think most if not all of us were like 7 year olds when we opened the Lawmaster. Watch Johns unboxing on Cellar of Dredd if you havent seen it, magic !

Go back a couple of pages and I was saying exactly the same as you guys. I'm still miffed/nonplussed at Mezco for the way the b/w set was handled, same applies to the Navy set being Mezco direct US only.
I'm sure its business reasons but It feels like they have done their best to make life difficult for us.

There are ways around it, for example a forwarding service where you have a US address which will forward their mail to you.

I forget the name of the company (likely there's more than one) that do this, despite actually having an account with them.

Thing is, when I worked out the cost of postage, etc overall, it still worked out cheaper to go for a more expensive item via eBay!* But this was the more really available black bikes. The limited edition stuff which could be astronomical prices on eBay might still be worthwhile that other route.

*Not that I've ordered it yet, but it's still an agenda when finances improve...

I've still got my Legendary Comic Book Heroes Dredd and Death and a couple from Re-Action. Great toys not beaten until now at many times the price.

I'm hoping the guy who was at SDCC will help out on the blue set. If he's willing to help (for a small fee for his time) I'd be happy to pass his details on to anyone else. He helps out a few of the guys in a Facebook group I'm in and has been solid so far. SDCC Dredd and Captain America were here in 6 days with no customs.

My fave bike is still the blue PX one moly. If you want a matching set and dont hate Disco Dredd thats the one I would go for + the extra's with him are solid. If you want a bike to add to your NYCC Dredd I think he looks pretty good on the black one.

Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 11 August, 2016, 09:38:45 AM
Mezco's packaging is top notch, opening 3A's blisters feels like sacrilege. I ruined my first card opening Death but used a knife on the others and kept them looking good. Accessories only coming with specific variants is sneaky but they are all at it. Mez did it with Disco Dredd, 3A are doing it with their 3rd Lawmaster set. Wonder how many folk would still have bought Disco Dredd if not for those funky extras tho.

Gratz on the PX set moly :) I've been up and down on 3A's Lawmaster, its the bike I grew up with and love but I'm still worried about build quality. 3A toys look amazing but they are definitely delicate in comparison with Mezco. I hope the pre-orders we are waiting for blow us away.

Ebay update.

2nd SDCC set arrived, Ebay have now changed their tune about being able to return it. 3 separate phone calls to 3 different Customer support folks over the last 10 days. No problem to return it. We will help you despite the seller saying no returns.

Open a return, within 10 minutes it had been closed by the seller. Called UK Ebay this time. Nope sorry nothing you can do. I'm absolutely fine with that, I'm a big boy and I was on the piss when I bought it. What on Earth do they teach their support staff if 3 different people told me I can. I'm waiting for a callback from management today to have a whinge ;) Its not the money, I told the seller (politely) that Ebay said it could be returned and now he's having a giggle at my expense.

I'm not sure what I want to do with the 2nd set. I'm fine to keep the pair but I dont want to look like a greedy git and have 2 of the 50. I've added together the cost of buying, importing (and the taxes on the Ebay one) divided by 2 and it comes out around £410. If anyone's interested at that price gimmie a shout. I can provide full and complete breakdowns of both items, this is cost and I'd make a £100 loss selling the Ebay bike at that price.

I'll give it a couple of days, if no-one asks I'll open it and add to my display. It wont be going up on Ebay or be offered elsewhere, just wanted to give forum peeps a shout.

Final blue variant is going by Apocalypse War Dredd. I asked about a Stub Gun and the reply was 'its not an Apocalypse War without a Stub Gun'.

Maybe I'm adding 2 and 2 and getting 5 but I took that to mean it will come with the blue set in the same way Mezco did Cursed Earth with the cloak and shotty. I hope I didnt get the wrong end of the stick, Stub-Gun is a must if your gonna call it that.

Gratz Inkymonkey its a beaut.

Word of warning tho, mine have already lost paint from the seat from a one time sitting for a pic. I asked Mez if these 50 were hand painted as they look very different to the others. All they would say is that yes a different paint app was used. Black and blue bike have been used a lot with no issues but this one needs kid gloves if you want to keep it pristine.

Post by: TheTooN on 17 August, 2016, 11:46:14 AM
I sent Mezco that photo along with my query on the paint app but I didnt get much of a response other than saying it wasnt the usual paint app. I didnt complain about the seat, I just wondered why the paint was so different to the others. Hand painted would have been a logical answer.

Its no biggie, my toys lose paint over time anyway cos I cant leave them alone. I know others like to keep them perfect which is why I posted a headsup, hopefully it was useful to someone.

As far as what its worth for the quality. Better paint on the seat would have been nice for sure but its not a killer for me as I re-pose and re-arrange my stuff all the time. I accept that joints wear and paint rubs off if you play with adult collectibles. I'm a big kid so its par for the course. Imagine the carnage with my 3A figs  :o >:D

Preview pics promised so much but that rad cloak is just a hard look to pull off. If your prepared to spend 10 minutes adding creases its a bit better but its a pain.

I appreciate its supposed to keep him covered up but it really restrict the arms too. Holding the shotty in both hands can be a 5 minute fiddle, hand falls off, clip falls out....AGAIN  :crazy: Even with blu-tac that thing has a mind of its own. Anyway, its such a beautiful uniform its a shame not to have it on show  ;)

What do you guys think of the new collar and shorter zip on SDCC Dredd ?

'Pete Wells block' diorama for those bikes ? Some talented folk around making professional looking pieces, on my list of things to look at at some point, really sets them off. Mezco's promo pics had an Otto Sump poster on the wall which I thought was cool.

Sorry to hear its in Customs JB, really should be a law against it on toys.

I've asked them that on Facebook but didnt get anywhere so who knows. As much as I love what they did with Dredd and the Lawmaster I think they will stick to 'bigger' licenses. Hands well and truly full with Marvel and DC at the mo as well as Star Trek.

3A will do Anderson and Hershey in time.....assuming they get Dredd right, and the next wave of pre-orders are positive. Judge Giant up next whenever wave 2 goes live. Judge Giant ! I still have to pinch myself :P

Nice pic Pete !

Pic of black Dredd on the blue bike so you can see what it looks like skurvy. Blue bike was only sold as a set iirc so you would end up with a spare Dredd if you went for that one.

I have had a reply from Mezco about why they don't send to the UK and it looks like more of you need to message them and explain that we are prepared to pay even with the extras, as we do with other companies.

You know that the UPS/FedEx charge will be ridiculous and will have to
deal with customs that will do be beneficial for you or me  Thank you


If they do a Death or Anderson then I think we need to push this with them!

I wonder if we could get a bulk shipment to one comic shop in the UK and then get them sent on from there! Obviously, this is for the specials.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 07 September, 2016, 08:15:58 PM
I've bashed them a few times for not offering UK shipping. This seems like a good plan although I'm probably done with Mezco now unless they spring another 2000ad character.

btw the Website has been altered and the production run of 50 has been removed. Still no reply to my PM so someone else must have highlighted it too.

Mine was from the same guy who sorted me the black and white set. I pay him for his time and effort but its a lot cheaper than trying to get one on US Ebay. Dodged customs on the last one too which was a nice bonus. He's working in the Azores atm but has said his wife will post on to me when it comes out.

Yeah, it seems incredibly backwards. If places like Sideshow Collectables can offer international shipping I can't see why Mezco couldn't. Shipping costs would be much less on the bulk of their items.

I guess I'll probably be missing out on this latest variant, which is a shame as it looks to best of so far.

Congrats dodging customs, always a pleasant bonus.

Yeah I am kind of thinking just another pro US dealership tbh. US centre of the world attitude if you will with Mezco.

With that however the new tidbit that has people worried is the frieght company bringing MEZCO goodies to the US is a Korean shipping company. Well they have 80 vessels all at sea as due to Bankrupcy they cannot be paid to dock and unload.

  Not sure how this affects the Dark Blue Lawmaster/Dredd combo but has ramifications on some of the other MEZCO figures I have pre ordered from their One:12 line :/

From chats with MEZCO I don't honestly seeing them revisiting DREDD or that does seem to be the general attitude.

I truly hope Not as So much more fun could be had. 3A have the Dark Judges, MEZCO the ANGEL Gang?  How Drokkin Cool would that be. Enough Perps out there for both companies to make characters without stepping on toes.

Though I am Dreddzilla surprised neither are wanting to do 2012 DREDD. Hell even 1995 Dredd (would they let his helmet come off?) would be perfect for MEZCO.

I wish they offered these special edition units separately too (I.e. so you can get the lawmaster without the figure, for example. I like the dark blue figure a lot, but owning the black one, I'm not such a completist.)

Still, I guess if you're only going to get one lawmaster it makes sense to get the black.

Does Dredd have a blue or a black helmet ? Reason for asking is I'm hearing they are shipping with black and not blue. Mines still over the pond and the fella who bought it for me is away working. His Wife is fine to ship it onto me but I wouldnt ask her to open it up and check his helmet ;)

Preview promo's definitely looked blue to me.

They always put disclaimer that final product can vary from pictures. I'm at work so I can't check this out right now but from what I remeber there's also similar disclaimer on box somwehere.

Not that I wasn't somwehat disappointed when I saw black helmet (but its better than golden kneepads from previous version). I think I'll repaint the helmet myself since I still have full set of paints for 28mm Judges.

Thanks for the reply jacob g. Fella on Facebook PM'd me with a screenshot of a customer asking Mezco about it via FB PM.

22nd October Mezco said they were 'looking into it' for him. Next contact they say no new info other than 'they all have it'

Its not the first time the box has been wrong, the SDCC b/w set showed the bike with red lights but they were clear/white on the product. No probs with that at all but the black helmets thrown me ! All the promo pics it was the same colour as the uniform, box art the too. How on earth they managed that is beyond me.

If I hear anything else I'll post it here.

Wow thats a shocker ! Yes its a f***up but they are all f****d up !  No apology, no solution.

I'm could do with seeing more customers reactions elsehwere before I contact them. Tekno do you have any good places for Mezco 1:12th discussion ? Have you seen anyone else talking about this yet ?

Thanks jacob, I honestly dont know where we stand as consumers here. Its irritating, if it was the first figure rather than the fourth I think they might be a bit more helpful. After only 50 SDCC sets were made, then this one only direct or at the con I wonder if they just want see the back of them. Is the paint app as good as the PX or black bike anyone ? I know it was a lot different on the SDCC set.

'Final product may change yadda yadda' is fine if its the entire figure changing shade for example. When its a uniform with one part a completely different colour its an error rather than a design change. Surely thats a whole different kettle of fish ?

I searched for pics today and most are blue but an odd one or two certainly look black to me. On the ad on their site right now one of the photos is this. http://www.mezcotoyz.com/mas_assets/cache/image/b/3/9/2873.Jpg

Very disappointing CS if Mezco dont think its an issue for collectors, some of whom wanted the dark blue over any other.



Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: jflynn on 03 November, 2016, 06:35:01 AM
Latest response...I replied to their last message with:

"Many thanks for the response but it doesn't really address the question. All the promo images and indeed the box art have him with a blue helmet which would suggest that this is a production error rather than a design choice. As such, will you be offering a replacement/solution for costumers."

And they came back with this gem:

"Since they all were produced that way, there are no replacement parts available. You're welcome to send it back for a refund if you like."

Must say I'm really surprised by their attitude on this one.

I wasnt expecting them to offer replacement heads in all honesty but an admission of error and apology would have been nice. I guess an offer of a refund is all they need do to meet their obligations.

If it turns out I cant look at it without it winding me up I'm sure I can find someone to repaint it for me in the figure groups on facebook.

SDCC sets have come down on US Ebay if anyones still looking. One at auction finished just over the retail price at the con. Another at auction right now from the same guy I bought my first one from. He must have bought a shedload, I can see 5 sold in the last month or so from him.

As it was once suit off figure I fixed the zip and now a Black suit instead of Disco.

BBTS  has Disco in Spud Sack discounted :-

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=OOC10003&mode=retail

and also Disco/Lawmaster Combo on clearance :-

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=OOC10006&mode=retail

Not bad prices for a Mezco figure or combo (but colour bleh ).

Wanted to see Mezco Dredd for myself, I have Spud Sack in hand.
A good figure, the magnets are are quite innovative.
But the uniform around the "crotch area" and Disco colour are a big negative.
Fortunately the Rad Cloak covers most, looks good holding the shotgun.

So glad I forked out  £220 for that exclusive......

£136 + shipping + VAT and handling. Probably not much cheaper than we paid SIP ? Got that set for £200 and very happy for the price. Imho its the best colour scheme overall, bikes beautiful and if you like Disco Dredd its a win win. Cant get that bike without buying the set either so again its well worth the money if you like that bike. It's irritating that Mez released the single figure for PX and NYCC B/W and then sold the matching bikes as 'sets' meaning you end up with doubles of the figures. Both single releases were superfluous. Sneaky, crafty marketing ? Or the only way they could make it pay ? Who knows ! I'm pleased to have seen them made at all.

If you dont care for the colour of his uniform you could always dye it like Tekno did lincnashoZ. Check back in the thread for pics or I'm sure Tekno will add some on request.

If you stand the figure in vanilla pose its easy to smooth away the wrinkles in the suit. Its still easy enough in an action pose. Dont hide that sparkly suit under the tatty sack dude  ;)

The Lawmaster does look awesome.
The Color Scheme suits the Bike really well, too pricey for my collection though.
Even though I now have him, Metallic Blue Uniform does not thrill me.
Although as posted above, easily remedied with the Cloak/Shotgun   :D.

I wonder if Mezco is done with Dredd ?.
Scope for more Figure/Bike Paint App's ?.
More 2000Ad characters ?.

I love the set, and disco dredd is my favorite of the mezco dredd's, just something cool about him.  The px bike is by far best lawmaster in my opinion, the paint is lovely.

I would love it if Mezco would release the navy blue Dredd sans bike and with color corrected helmit.  >:(

TBH black helmet is not a problem.

Navy blue Dredd for me is the best Mezco Dredd (and they used golden paint for eagle and shoulder pad, not yellow), the only one I like as much is B&W version.

Maybe I'm the only one but I just can't stand disco Dredd.

Black or navy Dredd, but I rather like the disco bike. That metallic paint looks good on the Lawmaster.

It's a shame the blue versions (disco and blue) are not available separate from the figures.

I haven't gotten around to ordering a MezcoLawmaster yet, which is kind of ironic as I ordered Mezco Dredd mainly due to loving that design of Lawmaster and you can't really have the bike without the rider, right?

Originally I was just going to settle for the 3a combo (which I did order. Soon to arrive apparently...😄) but I loved the idea of old school Lawmaster on one side, (the Dredd on that probably with the Mark 1 lawgiver too) and the new version the other. So I ordered Mezco Dredd, with the idea of saving up for the Lawmaster later.

I'm glad I did, though. It's a wonderful figure.

Well I have been slated by 3A fans due to my high praise of Mezco. However that is easy to understand when I have So many Mezco Dredd's IN HAND! With 3A only teasers.

I always thought Mezco was stockier and I DO like the 3a lean n mean look But alas still waiting.

You know I stripped my Mezco Dredds and then tortured them to give better articulation to thighs and torso. Also switched the dreadful eagle they supplied him with.

I am Black Uniform Fan so all disco Dredds uniforms purchases had been about the acc's. Then experimented with RIT DYED to Black (all are still perfect), actually I think better than normal black due to the sheen Disco Blue had.

Surprised with Mezco with 2 types of helmet designs but hey ho.
The Lawmasters well only got the Black one but if I am honest sorely tempted on blue metalic. My Dredd head won't let me though lol
Sat humming and arring for an hr over the BBTS sale mezco disco twin set. Alas not.

Well just went and got myself this Marvel Mezco One:12 figure.
Look at his pants and tell me you don't see what MEZCO missed out on making.

Mezco One:12 PX NYCC Shadowland DareDevil usally retailing if you can find them for £130ish onwards. I scored this for £80.

This bad boy is being turned into a DREDD 2012 figure.  Already have a 2012 Lawmaster in the pipe from when I first saw this figure and just knew I had to get him to customise.

Bought my first Mezco figure, the cursed earth Dredd. Really tempted to get the Lawmaster also, is the front part as bulky as it looks in the pictures?
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: teckno viking on 15 December, 2016, 08:29:56 PM
It Is indeed and congrats. We are spoilt now with Mezco & 3A Dredd goodness. Lawmasters being a personal choice which.

The figures from both have Pro's & Cons. Lawmasters I keep saying Do Not compare as two completely different Models. However Both are awesome too for various reasons.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: TheTooN on 15 December, 2016, 08:55:46 PM
Gratz fella ! Just remember the blue Lawmaster isnt sold separately, I ended up with 2 copies of Disco Dredd by getting the figure first. Only Lawmaster sold on its own is the black one.

Tekno....what was the issue with Daredevils pants ?
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: ted5536 on 15 December, 2016, 11:45:45 PM
Ended up grabbing a Lawmaster also can't wait to get them and compare to the three a stuff. Hoping mezco deluxe Punisher next year can ride the Lawmaster.

Lawmaster and Mezco Dredd came in, big fan of the Lawmaster thing is a beast. Dredd is solid, but def prefer the 3A design. They did a great job with belt being able to hold the grenades, and the Lawmaster lights are great love the simple button system, much better then the 3A button system.
Title: Re: Mezco Judge Dredd!
Post by: teckno viking on 22 December, 2016, 11:31:41 PM
The Lawmasters from both 3A & Mezco only similarities end with the name really LOL.
Two completely different Bikes but both with Pros & Cons.

One thing I have noticed the Brits/Internationals (None US) seem to Truly go for the classic Design from 3A whilst the majority of Yanks go for (unsurprisingly) Bigger and Badder looking Mezco.

I Say enjoy them Both for what they are, Awesome parts of anyones 1/12th DREDD collection or even Just apart of your collection.

The figures themselves are again both Pros & Cons. Think Mezco has Greater Upper Body (even if bulked up torso) articulation over 3As restricted Upper body.
However the reverse lower with 3A leading the way and having to do Dremel work on Mezco to even get him to be able to go to a draw pose (from boot holster).

Though again Enjoy them both is my Motto or as I plan see about combining or even coming up with a new option that maximises Max articulation Top & Bottom and utilise 3A & Mezco parts for it.

Yeah definitely love both takes, and very happy I grabbed the Mezco ones also. All the pictures from Toon and Teckno sold me on needing the cursed earth Dredd so I make a diorama for him to team up with Mad Max. But I feel if you buy Dredd you gotta go for the Lawmaster also cannot leave him without a ride.

Yeah the N2 ones, not even close in quality to Mezco and 3A, but he is basically the same exact size on the 3A Dredd so little bit smaller then the judges. I got the whole Road Warrior line they did, Lord Humongous is same size as the Dark Judges so works out well.

They are perfect size, just got to find the best way to build a clear base with sand and maybe a wall with some buildings behind it for cursed earth fun.

That is a metal gear rex by 3A, I got the Ray also they did a great job with them. Would love something Dredd related in that size. That is the new US Godzilla, Dredds backup.

I snagged a black Lawmaster as a post-Xmas gift to myself  :D.
Found one with $15US off original retail, "free shipping" to OZ.
So resistance was definitely futile.
It is a great big thing, Drokkin' awesome  :P.
Gave the Mezco PX Dredd a ride for a while.
At the moment, 3A Dredd is getting his turn. :)
