Exlusive Edition has the full figure and ejected bullets ( slightly different Mk1 too), regular edition is with the skull base.

I'm liking it a hell of a lot more now ..

They always seem to be sculpted by people who read different Dredd comics to the ones I grew up with.

How 'bout a decent classic Apocalypse War style Ezquerra Dredd? or even a Bolland or McMahon?

Yes, now that would be nice, all these Dredd statues do seem to be superhero style muscle men. Not the Dredd i grew up with either.

You ever notice that everyone who believes in creationism looks really unevolved? Eyes real close together, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day." Yeah, looks like he rushed it.

Sorry Rich but I didn't grow up with Biz Dredd, never considered a particularly 'classic' version of Dredd in the Bolland or Ezquerra fashion, so I wish they'd tap into true classic Dredd than the rather brief and gaudy 'Heavy Metal' version.

I'm with joe on this one.

How about a series of sculpts in the style of different artists, like the batman black and white statues from years ago.

What would be cooler than a bolland dredd beside an esquerra dredd beside a Dillon dredd etc...

Never really liked the body builder dredd trend biz started and so many followed.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Biz,  :'( ....im sure he has his fans, but he's not for me.
An Ezquerra Dredd circa '81/,82 would be a good alternative to the usual fare, and as someone who worships at the church of McMahon, a version of his Dredd circa '78 - before the boots got too big, would be most welcome too.

Teivion I hope by saying exclusive edition you don't mean there are two of these coming out, do you?

Well it looks good to me. It's not a million miles away from how I imagine dredd. He's got to have some muscle given that he doesn't exactly have a desk job. If it retails for about 20 quid I'll be buying it. Might stretch to 30 quid once I see the paint job.

Yes, at least times 10. Which is a shame. If they'd gone for 1/6 scale rather than 1/5th or 1/4th (!!!) it would probably have been more affordable. I'd love a Dredd statue on my bookshelf, but not for that sort of money.

And actually it looks massive. I don't think it will fit on my bookshelf in any case. sigh  :(

Hmmm. No thank you.

Best wishes to those who like this sort of thing but it's not for me.
