DROKK!

The law has never looked so cute.
Everyone's favorite lawman from Megacity One .... Cosplay Penguin style.

Released Q2 2013, standing 11.5cms tall this PVC statuette packaged in a window box all ready for display, for those that like it mint, the Judge Dredd Cosplay Penguin has comic accurate costume, NON-REMOVABLE helmet (as it should be), removable Lawgiver and all the attitude a little penguin can contain.

Designed by Steve Scholz and sculpted and painted by fan favorite sculptor Joe Amaro, this is a must have for any Judge Dredd fan.

NOTE: This is a PRE-ORDER ITEM. Numbers for this Penguin will be limited so pre-order yours to avoid disappointment.

* This is an adult collectors item.

Is this going to be another company that takes a 2000 AD licence and fucks about and doesn't tell the potential customers what is going on. I did email the company when I got that newsletter but had no reply and I've emailed them again today but I expect no response!
Title: Re: Blind Mouse Toys - Cosplay Penguin Dredd
Post by: Dash Decent on 14 October, 2013, 10:07:29 PM
Guys, it's still not available for sale.

The company have said they are very close and just need to make sure of a couple of things so it is the very best it can be.

Post by: Dash Decent on 15 October, 2013, 12:16:36 PM
Blind Mouse Toys sent it to me.  I've been pestering them about the penguin.

Apologies to anyone I misled, that wasn't my intention.  I can see now that the "just kidding" was ambiguous as to what I was actually kidding about.

I've had a reply myself, in fact once I had my say the other day I logged onto my emails and there was their reply :-[ :lol:

All is good and they may pop on here to put our minds at rest!

By the way, they do have a facebook page, which shows info up a lot quicker :thumbsup:

If he aged in real time like the strip he'd be one dead penguin.

They go on sale next week. I'm guessing it will take around 2/3 weeks for them to be sent out.

Three cheers for the post office running their close-to-Christmas Saturday delivery schedule!

Judge Penguin also has seven settings on his Lawgiver, thus making up for the five settings on the Unbox Industries figure.  The universe is in harmony once again thanks to the law of averages. (Though perhaps one of those dots is a tip to the selector needle.)

Title: Re: Blind Mouse Toys - Cosplay Penguin Dredd
Post by: Dash Decent on 29 November, 2014, 09:02:31 AM
One tip: to get the penguin to hold the Lawgiver, put the tip of his flipper in the trigger guard first.

A nice surprise, I had a couple of A3 posters turn up yesterday from Blind Mouse Toys.  They have that image CFM had in the first post on this thread.  Mine are 30 & 31 of 1,000.

Post by: Jamie1000013 on 24 February, 2015, 06:15:57 AM
So tempted to get one of these but shipping is expensive, costs as much as the actual thing
Is this sold anywhere in the Uk? The exchange rate Aus Dollar to Pound is pretty strong.

For the people who have them were you pleased with them? Also can you raise the arm so it looks like its aiming the gun?
Title: Re: Blind Mouse Toys - Cosplay Penguin Dredd
Post by: COMMANDO FORCES on 24 February, 2015, 07:03:34 AM
No idea if any shop in the UK has ordered any in, so can't help you there.

I have mine in the dining room, on top of one of the bookshelves and it goes well with the other figures up there. As for the arm, no it doesn't move!

Penguins' arms are called wings. So is his Lawgiver a sidewing?

I've not really been paying attention to this as its not the type of thing I'm likely to buy but just looking through the thread I notice the packaging on Minty's picture and was left wondering what is it about a penguin Dredd that requires it to be for 18+ age range?

Does that gun actually fire or summit?
