Very nice! Thanks for posting Steve.
That picture of the three lawgivers together was interesting. Ezquerras version looks very much like a transitional model. I know it's not, it's an alternate take on the Mark 2*, but if you mentally swap the original Mark 2 and this version around, so the order is Mark 1, Ezquerra's then the Mark 2, I think you'll see what I mean. I.e. it starts elegant and slender, thickens out with Ezquerra's (while remaining fairly true to the original design), then its the chunky short barrelled design most artists draw today.
It's a nice design. It's true to the old take but looks like it would do some major damage with that barrel.
*Or was he drawing it like that back in the Mark 1 days too? I forget...
Thanks Chris,
Carlos' drawings vary a bit - there are some shots early on where the muzzle is pretty wide.
I think the lengthier MK1 tended to come from Brian and Ian (and I think Ian introduced the top magazine)
It's mainly because Carlos never adopted the MK2, but artists have their own variations anyway - Henry and Ben have flattened off the curved ammo dial for example.
Good to see that first 100 sold out straight away.
New batch of these (un signed no doubt) has just gone live - final run apparently.
I went to the site a couple of hours after this was launched expecting them all to be taken but thankfully I was able to get one.
Just checked again (3:26am on writing this)* and they're still available! 250 were available this time, I believe.
*Why am I still awake? Partly habit... partly mice in my room, one of which I've managed to catch in a humane trap and deposit outside.
** I think that's 5 or 6 now. Wonder if the heat-seeker round works on creatures so small? Not that I would... cute little buggers...
So much for not buying 2000ad this month so far managed to buy this, space bastards and some stuff off eBay ahhh it never ends :)
I'd love one of these but they don't sell them to Australia (because of our strict gun ownership rules which also cover 'realistic' looking replicas).
While I applaud Oz's commitment , it does sound harsh. Can someone not buy it , then ship it to you?
I suppose it'd have to be declared at customs though...
It's dicey.
There's someone who had to order it specially but they have some paperwork for a licence.
They don't seem to differentiate between replicas of real guns/airsoft and this kind of thing.
The impression I've been given is it would probably get turned back or destroyed at customs.
Yes, I wondered if there was a way PR could colour it in some way I could easily remove. Toy guns are all made in bright blue/green/yellow/reds etc. Maybe a balloon stretched over the barrel?
I'm not sure what difference having a balloon would make to the average customs official.
I don't know if unpainted or a bright green primer makes a difference either.
I'm also based in Oz. It's very difficult to get these types of items.
However, somehow...my PR Mark 1 Lawgiver got through customs back in the day. :)
I had a Stormtrooper E-11 resin kit blaster seized because it was based on a Sterling SMG. They also weren't keen on a Han Solo DL-44 resin kit blaster that I ordered - because it was based on a real-life Mauser. I finally got my hands on them by applying for a special permit.
Have the second wave of these been posted out yet?
Hi,
nope - Dan had an iffy batch of resin which slowed things down, he's in the workshop today working on them.
Cheers
Steve
i was wondering as i have an order outstanding for the Carlos lawgiver..
Any update on these?
Hi,
your best bet is to e-mail Dan at info@planetreplicas.com.
They're still arriving with customers, last one I saw posted was 2xx of 250.
I don't have customer details, just help Dan out on the social media side while he's in the workshop, and there have been some updates on the facebook page.
Dan apologises that they've been so delayed.
Last post from him was at Christmas.
"Wishing you all a Happy Christmas!
A small note from me (Dan)...
Its been a....bumpy end of year to say the least, the remaining Lawgivers are still being worked on over the holidays as shipments will continue in the New Year. Most have now shipped out!
Its not been easy -a turbulent last 6 months that really didnt want to do me any favours made planned output very hard to maintain, so I'll certainly be changing the way PR operates in 2020 to reflect the lessons learnt.
A massive thank you for the patience and support to you all- I am seriously grateful to call you my customers and I dont take any of your orders lightly.
Lastly , a big thanks to Steve Green for handling this page in the last year. I'm not very good at handling the pressures of social media and he's stuck his head above the trenches for me- so a huge round of likes (applause) for his help this past year too.
Onwards and upwards- 2020 here we come !
Dan

Picked mine up from the post office today 206 of 250 very happy today
Great, cheers Moly!
Those of you still waiting, it might be worth checking your email today, as Dan gives an update and estimate of when the remainder will be completed starting from next week including order numbers!
A couple of weeks time for me. That's fine with me.
Mine arrived last week 250/250
It's lovely. Many pew-pew sounds were made (mainly by the other half who has fond memories of Carlos).
Great, I'm glad to see we're in the final stretch of these.
I'd asked Dan to e-mail out with estimates for the remaining orders, as people were asking on facebook and I don't have access to orders, as I just handle facebook as a favour while Dan's in the workshop.
Apologies for them taking longer than expected.
I got mine in January and it's a thing of beauty but I'm sure Dan will be glad to get this run over with and on to something new. (After a wee break obviously)
I know it's been mentioned about the new badges which look great but I'm looking forward to see what other creations he'll come up with hopefully in the near future.
Cheers, there are a few things planned, but no idea on timescales yet.
