McMahon Statue and Planet Replicas at Thought Bubble

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?

got mine! it's glorious! So... how are people fixing the eagle on his shoulder and sticking him to the base?

Look PJ took his out of its packaging, unclean, unclean!

Only the one, I only took out the one! I left the other 12 in their boxes!

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

I have a tear in my eye

No point having these things if they're not on display!

pauljholden · 17 July, 2015, 04:33:45 PM

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...

PJ's pitch for a Star Wars / Dredd cross over.... Dredd: EX-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!

Geoff · 18 July, 2015, 12:43:31 PM

Yes, the head is tiny isn't it!
