Before your time eh?
Here you go, maybe this will explain...

I met Judge Dredd in person. Cambridge Forbidden Planet, even got cautioned by him ;)
Wow. It reads like an onion article, especially with the benefit of hindsight. But it doesn't answer the question: Who is the Judge Dredd gimp suit?
I believe Fleetway spent a small fortune getting that costume made.
My, there was money well spent.
I don't mind it - its pretty accurate - but the colours are another case of what works in print doesn't in the real world.
The gloves and pads look all moldy, yeck!
And if they'd spent that much money on it you'd think they'd spring for a decent photographer and a more suitable background.
I think the pics might come from the Dredd constume's world premier appearance on stage during a 2000AD panel at a convention about 10 years ago.
Trust me, you had to be there to realise just how toe-curlingly emnarrassing the whole thing was.
That's Jeremy Clarkson, that is.

I never knew Dredd had a beer-gut.
almost as tacky as the recent Durham Red Megazine cover...
So where's the costume now? Surely if Rebellion had it, it'd been at Dreddcon3
i how he put talc in that before he slipped into it,

I don't think Rebellion have it, and Reaction Figures lost the Dredd and Anderson costumes they had at DreddCon:1.

Wasnt that Dredd costume stolen from Rebellion at some point?
