Mezco Judge Dredd!

[Citi-Def_Joe]

Don't want to nitpick (pardon the pun) but wasn't it Wash n' Go? I think it's important we face these big issues with a frank and open discussion

[Mardroid]

I imagine this has probably been answered earlier in the thread, so I apologise in advance for my laziness.

Does the Cursed Earth version (the one with the long duster) come with the proper uniform and eagle pad, etc underneath? If it does I guess I would lean more towards that one (although I can't justify ordering just yet), as long as there are more options than the duster. My reasoning is largely due to the classic style Mark 2 Lawgiver that comes with that figure.

I do like the new version, and I have seen it in some of the more modern strips, but, if I get a figure, I'd want it as close to the iconic appearance as possible. Should the Mark 3 lawgiver get past it's glitchy prototype phase, I wouldn't mind that design in future stories too (although the version in dark Justice just looked like a very chunky mark 2, but then the mark 2 is sometimes drawn like a carbine version of the mark 1).

I'm not over keen on the shoulder eagle either, but not so much the size as the style, which looks off to me. But I could live with it.

Have you seen the pic of the Lawmaster/Dredd combo? That's what Cursed Earth Dredd looks like without poncho.

[Dreddzilla]

Can you see the attachment? That's what "disco" dredd looks like sans poncho.

[Mardroid]

Ah, thanks.

Oh dear. Too sparkly for my liking. I'm not actually all that fussy. Dark blue, grey or black would be fine, but that's a bit much. (Edit- I might have forgiven that, but the gold arm, knee pads? So to get the authentic gun*, you have to get the wrong colour** pads? Grr!)

I think maybe I'll stick with the 3A version, I just hope they tone down the chin in that version. Hee hee. (I do love the sleek style Lawmaster though although if I had to pick just one, - like I can afford even one, heh-  I guess I'd go with the traditional mark-1 style 3A.)

I will say the black and white version of Dredd and Lawmaster look very nice, but I'd prefer the colour route with figures.

* Okay, no such thing really with Artist's takes, and I have seen both styles, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

** Okay, technically not 'wrong' as Dredd was coloured that way in some earlier strips. But they're in the minority!

From what I understand the 3A Dredd will have both mk1 & 2 Lawgivers.

Yes, I think so. By 'Mark 1' I was referring to the Lawmaster bike. But having both versions of the lawgiver is certainly an asset to the 3A version.

That's one area I certainly think Mezco dropped the ball on. They should have had both or all 3 versions of the Lawgiver avaliable for fans to choose from. Personally I link the 1st version of the mk 2 LG. I believe the version they have packed Dredd with is the 2nd version (it dosent have the circular readout) of the LG 2.

Are you kidding me? I can't delete a duplicate post? 

[Dreddzilla]

Just received my NYCC Dredd and I must say it is glorious.  I even love the packaging it comes in, hoping this will be how further Mezco one 12 collective figures are packaged as i thought the DKR one was too big and takes up way too much space.

[Atreides]

Awesome! Cant wait to get mine! So slow to receive stuff to Sweden.. =P

It's a fantastic figure. 3A has really got to up their A game for their Dredd, seriously I think quality wise 3A might not be able on par with Mezco's.

Think so too! I got Mezcos Batman and its a great figure! And I love that Mezco has the collector friendly box! Not such a fan of the blister pack style that 3A decided to go with.

[BPP]

3A's 2000ad stuff is coming out retail so blister packs probably help to shift units.

Mezcos look to have done a bang up job, the B&W in particular. I'd order a Cursed Earth one but the disco colours are just too much. Grats to all who scored but could you turn down the 3A knocking just a touch? It's clear 3A have done an unreal job on Sidney and Sam so far. Celebrate what you have, don't snipe at the purchases of others.
