Title: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: ming on 25 January, 2012, 11:11:50 AM
Remember the Pete Fowler t-shirt design from the Zarjaz! exhibition?

As posted on Bad Librarianship (one of the best blogs I can think of):

Ahh.. ain't they cute! Stick that pair on either end of your mantlepiece or window ledge will give your home some kudos. Fantastic!

WANT TOO ! At last a collectible I could convince my wife it would fit perfectly anywhere in the house (I will not say "collectible" to her but "pieces of modern art").

There was a T-shirt. It sold out.

Yeah, I remember t-shirts being sold for a few of the designs at the exhibition.

Just had word from Pete about when these might appear:

"I believe it's being released this month though not exactly sure when"

I'll keep my eyes peeled and report back when something's announced (or someone else will, I'm sure).

Title: Re: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: ming on 04 May, 2012, 10:52:26 AM
Pete also mentioned some other 2000AD-related stuff that will be coming up (but gave no details).  A little digging, and I came up with this (via Toysrevil):

Title: Re: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: Emperor on 04 May, 2012, 04:11:06 PM
Might not be as bad as you think.

The design appeared at the Zarjaz! exhibition in 2005:
http://toysrevil.blogspot.co.uk/2005/11/aye-am-duh-laawr.html

And the toy has been floating around since 2008 when some pricing was revealed (although they will not be the current pricing but there might be something we can all afford - I'm getting one, probably the small variety):

QuoteTADO Death Plush will come in 2 sizes:
- SMALL @ approx 8-inches with a SRP of £12.99 (tentative June-2008 drop)
- LARGE @ approx 20-inches with a SRP of £44.99 (tentative September-2008 release)
- if the response is good, there may well be a Special Edition!

http://toysrevil.blogspot.co.uk/2008/02/tado-judge-death-plush-by-corgi.html

We Are Tado have announced when it'll be out, so we'll know soon enough:

QuoteHere's something very horrid indeed! At long last our 2000AD x Together Plus mini Judge Death's are ready to break out and cause some BADNESS!! TogetherPlus will be flying in a load of the little guys specially for the Kapow! Comic Con at The Business Design Centre in London. Wahoo!

I'm going to Kapow , so if anyone wants me to pick a Death up for them - assuming it's guaranteed - please get in touch.

The shiny version of the Pete Fowler Nemesis is now available via the link below; $28.50 each plus (probably) $15 shipping (trackable, from Hong Kong). Not sure when the TWO others will appear - one orangey-brown, one green - but I'll try and keep an eye out and update here when I know more.

Lurvely.

Ordered.

And I'll have an Orange and a Lime when they're ready.

Cheers Ming and good going to the Merchandising Bot involved in this.

What happened to the wooden looking one? Or is the orange one what the wooden one ended up looking like?

Anyone know?

Cheers.
Title: Re: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: ming on 18 November, 2012, 11:27:59 PM
I'll see if I can find out about the plain brown wood-effect one and report back (travelling now, so might take a day or two).  Would be a shame if the orange one is a replacement / colour tweak, but they're still great.

Given that these are probably made in pretty limited quantities, I'm surprised we didn't get an official heads up - they're bound to be popular, after all.  I'd completely forgotten about them until someone pointed out to me that they'd just gone on sale.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

No big hurry though. :)
Title: Re: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: ming on 19 November, 2012, 10:58:14 AM
I asked Pete Fowler about it and he's sure that the original brown Nemesis is still on the cards (and he referred to it as the regular colour).
Title: Re: Pete Fowler Nemesis
Post by: Judge Fish on 19 November, 2012, 04:51:38 PM
Cool, thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it.

I'll hold out for that one then. :)

Wow, big surprise my Nemesis just got delivered to work. Thought it'd be a couple of weeks.

Thought it would be bigger too, but it's still a lovely bit of 2000ad merch.

Dunk!

It looks like the other versions of Nemesis will go on sale on Friday; not sure if this includes the 'regular' brown one or not.  It also seems like 2000AD will get a supply of their own (next week?) so I guess those will be in the online store - and we'll get a heads-up for that, I'm sure.

Glad to hear people are liking these; will pick mine up tomorrow.

Just to confirm final cost via Unbox: $28.50 for the figure, $8 shipping (UK), $15 Europe / USA

Good to get confirmation, K33F - I'll spread the word and point people at the store as soon as they show up (and I'd have done so sooner if I'd known they were going to appear there as well as Unbox).

Picked mine up this morning - a very nice little bit of 2000AD merch and something of a classic design.
