To be honest..how many of us could pull off Dredd?

I'll be having nightmares of pot bellied midget judges dispensing justice down the local..

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

You could always claim that it's extremely prog-specific cosplay...

 

or even...

You wear the Dredd badge at home and your own when mixing with the cits.

Can't see them selling many of the costumes at that price - but then I don't really understand the impulse to purchase a full-size Judge uniform full stop, so it's not really my area!

The keyrings look great though, and are more my sort of thing. Going to try and hassle my girlfriend into getting me one fro Chrimbo!

We'll have to wait and see how many they sell. All you have to look at is how many bods are Stormtroopers and Batman at cons and such events to see people pay a decent amount of cash for such outfits.
Obviously I was always going to buy a set of this and I actually did a few nights overtime for it (something I try never to do). As for wearing it, after wearing the Judge Minty stuff at KAPOW, I can now understand why many people do. I found it was great fun, especially with the smaller children and their reactions.

P.S. Just think if they wanted a few Judges for the red carpet on the Premier next year, I'd be up for that  ;)

Wow, this stuff looks great! The full costume is out of my price range but I think it would be cool to own a helmet.

The last helmet I bought from Wake / Sloopy Joe (last year) cost me £250.

This was my sentiment for Termight Replicas. There will be people who would buy a helmet but not a full uniform, but there won't be anyone who would want a uniform with no helmet.

My leathers cost me around £200 including Velcro shoulder pads, a chunky gold zip and a cloth patch on the breast. They came from AS Supplies and I bought two sets several years apart: one made for Adam Lavis to promote the Here's Johnny DVD and one for me.

My uniform was definitely over £1000 in total and could still do with some upgrading so I'll be interested if the Planet Replicas components become available separately and I have enough spare cash.

I can honestly say I have *never* spotted that joke before!

Exactly why I'd love to have one - wouldn't wear one to a con on my own - but knowing there was a Judge squad would be great...

A stormtrooper costume is around a third of the price though and star wars fandom is far greater :)
Kudos to Planet Replicas for the job they have done though. One day if I have the money I'll hopefully get some components.
