3A Toys/Rebellion Press Release

[TheTooN]

Its possible they gave the date for the blue Dredd set or maybe it was the 1/6th ? We wont know until Gregory replies on one of the forums. Fingers crossed !

When it comes to a release being delayed Pop Culture Shock are right up there. Lawmaster was penned in as October 2015 ship. Pushing on to Q3 16 and we still dont have a release date from them. Paid in full over a year ago. Seen a couple of pics of it on the factory workbenches, once 30th March and then again 18th May. Funny thing is the later picture looks an earlier stage than the first ! Who knows !!

Since the day I ordered it I've had ZERO communication from them. No replies to comments on their website. I've seen loads of folks complaining on others statues, Robocop is also a year or so behind.

Top stuff but man do they make you wait and the lack of communication in a modern business is shocking.

Gregory has stated Pushed back from June to Early Q3.

So now we see which Q3 or Q4.  A little annoying all on track a week ago and suddenly push back but hey here's hoping NO QC issues once out.

[TheTooN]

Delay could be as simple as the factory cant meet deadlines and something had to slip. 'Or' it could be for more work on the fig or the bike. It comes when it comes, if its top shit, I wont mind the wait.

Hopefully they wont have the blue up for preorder before we get a set in hand to evaluate.

From June into 'early 3rd Q' could be as little as from June 30th to July 1st.

It's 3A - you have to be a little zen when it comes to their shipping. Personally I've not seen any line of 3A get the levels of customer service that Gregory gives. He always answers prompty and fully and openly. He never misleads or gives a false estimate. Compare that the the Sawyer line where the figures were 18 months behind and even the designer was reduced to saying 'sorry, i don't know what the fuck is going on' or the Marvel line that is way way behind but zero offical word aside from ever shifting dates on the shipping schedual. 

If Gregory is saying 'early 3rd Q' then that, atm, is what it is. So from sometime June to sometime July. Thats cool.

Delays seem to happen with 3A, but the quality is generally top notch. I have the Metal Gear Rex and Ray they put out and the amount of detail they do is absurd. Would much rather them take time to do it right and put out the best figure possible.

[teckno viking]

 True. As said only a week or so ago Gregory said one thing then the reply from Bamberland and now Gregory. Causing confusion I guess plus hearing from many of Long delays the Norm, kind of puts you at unease of what is going on.

Cannot fault comms, that is key and 3A seem to have that with Gregory.

From Sam Slade I have & hopefully DEATH tomorrow arriving, here's hoping Dredd and Lawmaster will be something sweet.

In the meantime I have a HYBRID Judge underway.

Body is a ThreeA Grunt with Mezco Disco Dredd set. RitDyed the Disco suit Black.

No mods needed for the belt. Plenty of mods for boots and gauntlets to fit though. Plus Knee & Elbow pads, helmet having to be repainted. Also sanded DREDD off the badge so sculpting a new name.

YAY Judge Death arrived and what a bargain of £45

[teckno viking]

Death is Awesome. Not sure of the negative on Balance as he holds others up as well as himself nicely considering construction is thin.
Articulation I have been slow on working joints due to the negatives of broken limbs etc. Again all ok after working them in.

Death has come to JUDGE!!

Dredd "Hey JIMP, your one Drokkin ugly Mother!"




Death "The Crime issss Life. The Sssssentence isssss Death!"

Death finally arrived last week from Lair of the Octopus, one day on the shelf and took a tumble. Broke the elbow strap but now can pose the arm up closer to the body.

I find that even if I blu-tak his feet to the shelf I often come home to find Death face down on the floor.

Maybe he's summoned a poltergeist?

Oops forgot to add second photo

I have to admit thinking removing the Death straps and putting elastic as MEZCO did. Does not hinder elbow articulation unlike this molded strap.

[flip-r mk2]

Even without the strap, so far the pad seems pretty secure.
