From the Red Bubble T-Shirt site I would say this image is a mish mash of The MacNeil droid and The Williams droid. Visor cross and nose don't marry up.

urgh, that's horrible!

Emperor

Might have come up elsewhere - a model of the "Hammerstein" robot from the Judge Dredd film going for 400 Euros:

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Christ on a bike, I have two of those built & painted and one still boxed and they cost a lot less than that rip off price  :o

Mardroid

 
QuoteDuring the movie the villain Rico (Armand Assante) gets a discarded archaic ABC war robot from the last Hammerstein war at a pawnshop.

Eh?

That's a great model though. And that robot was one of the things that film actually did well.

Oh look.. he's suddenly managed to draw exactly like Bryan Talbot

people are such dicks.
If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.

Man, that ABC Warrior robot model is amazing looking, Mardroid is spot-on, it was the very few things (alongside the Mega-City One skyline and Mean Machine Angel) the 1995 movie managed to get right.  Ironically, this actually might fit in even more with the new Dredd movies, gritty but still futuristic, and a completely photo-realistic CGI Hammerstein would be much better and more agile than the hulking animatronic used in the aforementioned 1995 movie, look at the robots in District 9, say no more...

Are these people allowed to sell the ABC Warrior head from the other movie. I wonder if it effects 2000AD as the figure is from the comic first!

That looks pretty blatant - he's just taken some prog-images splashed on a bit of paint and framed them.

It's a pretty clever idea, Dredd arresting various well know graffiti artists..but if he's passing it off as his work and profiting from it...well...

just noticed that the website is quite honestly-titled!

Seen this "Gaze into the fist of Dredd" copy?
Interesting after what Bolland said about the artist who ripped his Tank Girl cover.

To flip the thread on its head, I thought it'd be nice to show some non-infringement merchandise -- a bright ray of sunshine among the rip-off tat to give us hope that things are still done the right way by some people.

This appears to be fully licensed by Egmont back in 1995 (see top of large helmet badge).  It has (what I presume is) original artwork, and it's nicely composed, too.  Anybody know the artist(s)?
