Post by: PlanetReplicas on 19 October, 2014, 05:08:09 PM
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post to say YES we do read these pages.......and we'd like to invite you all to take a look at our stand at this years Thought Bubble Show

Heres a link to our latest news letter- and a shot of the prototype Black and White McMahon Statue- one of a few colour versions we are looking into- which will be on the stand too !

We've got some offers on at the time of the show, so it could be a good time to suggest to family what Christmas presents you'd like this year ?

Hopefully we'll put some names to forum faces- see you there !

Awesome.  They're ALL great, I particularly like the colour and the grey-tone options.  Though the McMahon linework version is pretty bloody close to genius.

Any ideas when these will be on sale?
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Karl Stephan on 25 November, 2014, 01:39:53 PM
Looks amazing. 1) I'd like a full colour one done with the standard cover palette at the time
2) a black and white version with black lines (like Mike Mignola's Batman Black and White and Neca Ninja Turtle Black and white set) and zippotone dots for the shadows.

Say, would it be possible to get a plain black and white one you could customize yourself?

£30 I believe. Which is actualy very good for a statue, which I wouldn't normaly be into.

I don't know where you got that figure from Hawkmonger - it wasn't the one given at TB.

Anyway, Dan's asked me to hold off - but hopefully price should be this week.

Gotta say I like the way they showed four different designs to see which to run with, and decided to do all of them!  I like the full colour one best, though it seems it'll be the only one not available from PR.

Like a fool, I forgot the time (I know, I know...) and only place my order (The black and white variant, of course!) at about 8:25pm. So I imagine I've missed out on the signed version, but hey.... 

The figure does look stunning, so I'll be more than happy to receive that, sometime next year.
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Steve Green on 05 December, 2014, 09:00:43 PM
According to PR on twitter, the webshop should adjust if it had gone past the 100 pre-orders.
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Spikes on 05 December, 2014, 09:04:48 PM
It's still listing it as 'In stock' for the signed variant, and refreshing the page doesn't change that, so maybe.....?

And Planet Replica's have just confirmed over on FB, that all orders up to now (ie; 9:20ish) will receive the signed print. Bonus! 

So get ordering chaps!

I had to call my husband first and make sure it wasn't coming as an xmas gift, haha.

I bought the BLACK AND WHITE one. BUT am very confused as I wanted the greyscale (or monochrome one) but I think the version labelled "LINED" is the black and white one. poop.

Now have to tell my wife I ordered it...

VERY CONFUSED.

me too - not sure which I bought, but as I was wavering between the two right up to clicking the button, I'm not that bothered.

Looking forward to getting this. :-)

Post by: hippynumber1 on 06 December, 2014, 09:30:11 AM
Hmmmmm, now you mention it, I'm now not sure which one I've bought. I initially thought that B&W meant exactly that and LINED meant GREYSCALE. Now I'm not so sure...  :(
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: hippynumber1 on 06 December, 2014, 09:42:11 AM
Bugger! I wanted, counting from the left, number 2. That's not the B&W one is it...  :(

Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Spikes on 06 December, 2014, 10:31:33 AM
Going by that photo, the figures are; 1.) Kit form 2.) Lined 3.) Colour and 4.) Black and White.

So, if you ordered b&w then you'll be getting the figure on the far right. I guess as its a pre-order, and not due to ship until sometime next year, you could ring up/mail PR and ask to change your order?
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Steve Green on 06 December, 2014, 10:38:40 AM
It could be clearer. (Although I'm not sure how you equate lined with grey)

I've mentioned it to them.

Hopefully a good omen for the success of other variants.

Post by: hippynumber1 on 06 December, 2014, 12:09:38 PM
Of course, it doesn't help that on the order page they've called the 'shaded' one B&W! Could definitely be clearer. The good news is that I emailed them and they're happy to change my order from B&W to LINED!  :D
Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Steve Green on 06 December, 2014, 12:23:09 PM
Cool, yeah not sure if changing the name after the fact makes things more confusing or not, would have been better to just add the variant number to the image IMO.

Glad you got it sorted.

Got mine today but I messed up. Great sculpt and love the print.

I tried ordering the coloured version on release day and couldn't. Ordered on my phone and ordered the B&W (black & grey) instead of the lined version.

The colour one can't be ordered from Planet Replicas. It's coming in a 3 figure box (includes the lined and black and white versions) and can only be ordered a certain way.

Yeah, the coloured version was an exclusive to comic shops in a three-pack.

The webshop still has the lined one listed as available, maybe worth asking if a swap is possible?

I've put mine back in the box for now but I'm thinking superglue should do the job, shouldn't it?

Well, as largely predicted by me (granted I expected it to take a little longer) I dropped the eagle from a bit of a height and broke it's wing off. gnnnnnn...

Will superglue help? only if I find the fecking wing...

Mine arrived today and like John Mills said - worth waiting for!

It has a satisfying weight to it and really captures McMahon's Dredd. 

Dredd stands well on the plinth and the eagle stays on his shoulder if you just put it there - not sure I'll use any glue.

Yes, it stays there so well that you forget it's not glued so when you lift it to move it it falls off on the floor and breaks a wing.

Can I recommend you DEFINITELY use glue.

a tiny blob of blu-tak in the socket gives a firm stick without the permanence of glue.

I know Mcmahon was famous for his big boots, but I was still surprised by how tiny dredd's head is compared to his knees and feet!

So, stupid question but google isnt helping me out.... this polystone stuff - I can use Army painter primer and acrylic  paints as per a Resin kit?

Title: Re: McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble
Post by: Steve Green on 09 August, 2015, 04:08:06 PM
Google tells me it's a mixture of Polyurethane Resin and stone powder - I've e-mailed Dan to see if he has any recommendations for what works best.

Cheers

Hiya,

from Dan...

"that's in primer so any paint would work, spray or other wise.
I'd presume they use a non waterbased paint for the primer, so any paint system should be fine on that"

Post by: Leigh S on 10 August, 2015, 09:33:10 PM
There are indeed - trying to blend a few different McMahon styles, from his early Annual style to the Titan covers - avoided the temptation to go yellow knee and elbow pads, mainly due to how hard it is to paint yellow!  Silver badge that McM started and ended his colour versions with (he gave in to the yellow badge for a time in between the early annuals and the Titan books, when the silver badge returns! 

One thing I've noticed as consistent in McMahons Dredds are a slightly different tone of green for the belt... Having noticed it I can't un-notice it, but wonder if people will think I ran oout of the correct colour paint!

Here you go - still a good bit of tidying up to do, but the overall effect is all there - even got the lightning flashes done tomy satisfaction, which was my greatest fear! Feel free to use it, most flattering - My full name is Leigh Shepherd, and this photo is already up on my FB! I'm no model maker, and am using my old miniatures paints that spend a lot more time in dusty drawers than actually painting minis, but this is a joy to do - fits together there without any glue while I'm painting it - no real visible joints to worry about - only a fool could mangle it :)

Well despite being pleased with how it'sturned out I can't take much of the credit, being very loyal to Mick Mcs original vision, from  off ilver badge to slightly different green belt to crumpled uniform - it's all the genius of McMahon's vision I'm feeding off! :)

Just had a message from my local comic shop. The triple packs are in on Wednesday and myself and Pete are sorted. There is a spare set going if anyone wants one!

I thought I'd post it here before I mention it elsewhere, as these three sets are confirmed.
