Which one?

http://www.streethawkonline.com/bikeinfo.php

Meh, it doesn't really matter (I do favour the round nosed one though) There's the Pilot bike and the series bike, the variances in the different series bikes weren't intentional (they all came off the one blueprint), and aren't really important. What's key is what the Series bike has over the Pilot version - namely, it's bigger, has weapon pods, and it's airfoils are more angled (best seen in front-on shots)

Are you serious?

I was actually thinking more of the Series version of the bike (the one you posted is the one from the Pilot) which was a bit bigger and had weapon pods on the nose and bigger, more sticky-out airfoils behind the front wheel, but essentially yes, I am serious.

There are a lot of trolls appearing on this forum who claim to be fans but all they post is negative bollocks

So fans are not allowed to have a negative opinion of the new film or else they're not really fans...is that how it works?

I too would have preferred to see the Mk1, much better gun...would look great beefed up for the big screen.

Seriously though, the new bike makes Street Hawk look like a Harley Davidson....

The shoulder pads on the Stallone one were pretty damn good, unlike these new low profile ones. And the cod piece sort of made sense, okay so he never had one in the comic but are you telling me the Big Meg's perps have never tried to kick a Judge in the goolies?

I agree, the new helmet is better than in the Stallone version, but that doesn't make up for the rest of the uniform being totally wrong

While the original post is clearly trying to antagonise everyone (and it would seem he has achieved this)

This guy is only looking for a reaction

Couldn't be more wrong, actually. I had the option of posting separate posts in the separate threads (bike, uniform etc) or starting my own thread which I ACTUALLY hoped would serve a double purpose of a) letting me hear from other people who don't like the new look, as I figured I can't be the only one, and b) hearing proper arguments as to why those of you who do like the new stuff actually do. Sadly, a lot of the arguments FOR the new look seem to be a pure and simple case of 'It's not the Stallone one so it's automatically better'...which to be honest is what I sort of expected. This new uniform is, IMH, even more 'radically different from the comic in a bad way' than Stallone's was, but no, that doesn't matter because HURR WE HATE THE STALLONE ONE SO ANYTHING ELSE IS GOOD REGARDLESS

Yes, really. Look, it's got the trademark giant shoulderpads! Look, it's got the big chain going from the zipper to the badge! Key elements, ladies and gents...and the Stallone bikes sh*t on the new ones from a great height, even with the flying mode malarkey

The helmet is the only bit that looks right, though Urban's could do with being a size or two smaller.

The bike is more '60s Batcycle than Lawmaster, and that uniform is just crap. Seriously, at least the Stallone uniforms and bikes LOOKED right. Bad plot, and Rob Schneider was annoying, but at least it LOOKED right. I'm taking back a lot of things I said about that film, and needless to say all my hopes for the new movie are circling the drain at this point.

NECA or Art Asylum/Diamond Select, if it has to be a more mainstream one then Hasbro,

NOT MacFarlane Toys under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, too many good licences have been wasted by them and their 'pre-posed, little/no articulation' policy. In the old days their sculpting gave them the edge, but now other companies like NECA, AA/DST can deliver excellent sculpts AND articulation, MacFarlane can take a hike. I prefer a neutral posed figure with articulation any day. I went through THREE of MacFarlane's Snake Plisskens because his stupid squatting pose threw off the balance and they all toppled off my shelf, their hands snapping off in the process. That said, their Robocop was bloody brilliant, great sculpt AND articulated

You know I vaguely remember those...maybe from Argos or Index's catalogues

My mistake, it is actually the 2009 shirt!!

Just saw one of these on Facebook...I MUST have one. If you have one large or extra large for sale, please message me!

I reckon he does push-ups...WITH HIS CHIN

LOL! The bathroom has the best lighting for photographs...and my mum is anally retentive about keeping the bathroom clean, so no worries there :p

Well I'm not really trying to compete with anyone, I just wanted a Dredd helmet and couldn't really afford a Termight one. Of course it's sod's law that now I have a new job, Termight have stopped doing them!! But yeah, just as there are different interpretations of the helmet throughout the history of the comic, I just wanted to do my interpretation of the helmet. Eventually I'd like to put together a full costume. The Judge Minty stuff is absolutely jaw-dropping but I imagine the guys that put the costumes and helmets together have more experience and the right tools, and more patience. Whereas I'm just winging it
