Judge Mortis badge by Planet Replicas



Judge Mortis is the second of the Dark Judges to have their name badge immortalised by Planet Replicas, the home of excellent 2000 AD merchandise.

From order to delivery, it was quite fast and the protective box it arrives in should make sure that the badge and display box shouldn't be damaged, especially as it's bubble wrapped, with even more protection in the main box to stop it moving about.

It's highly detailed, with a display stand included, so you can place it on the mantelpiece, as a talking point! Again, this is a lightweight badge, as it's made from resin and it's also hand finished for display or cosplay use!

At the time of writing this blog, the badge is still on sale but as with quite a few things from Planet Replicas, things do sell out. With that in mind, here's a link to order yours. PLANET REPLICAS SHOP

Here are the obligatory photo's of the badge and don't forget, click on the first one and they will open up as a slideshow!

Judge Death statue from Unbox Industries



Unbox Industries finally made their Judge Death available to buy on the 16th of December 2017 with the following advert on their site. By the way, it was a long wait from the initial knowledge knowing that this Dark Judge was coming, till we could pay for it.

'Unbox Industries once again join force with 2000 AD to expand upon their series of stunning interpretations based on the universe of Judge Dredd.
Several of the world's greatest graphic artists have interpreted Judge Death, but his first published appearance was in Prog 149 and illustrated by the legendary Brian Bolland.

BRIAN BOLLAND ART EDITION JUDGE DEATH
SIZE: 14" FIGURE (INCLUDING BASE)

ARTICULATION: NON ARTICULATED
MATERIALS: PVC & ABS
PACKAGING: PRINTED BOX
FREE SHIPPING ON ALL JUDGE DEATH ORDERS UNTIL JANUARY 2018 WHILE STOCKS LAST

Unbox based their interpretation on Bolland's judge Death from the 2000AD Postergraph featured in the "Judge Death Lives" storyline, one of the most memorable and disturbing illustrations from that era of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. The figure stands at 13" high on a 1" base and is intensively detailed, using a combination of PVC and ABS materials. It's high-end production succeeds in pushing the envelop in the vinyl figure category, giving new meaning to the term "execution."
Packaged in a stunning box, the figure is a must for serious collectors.'


The price was $85, which at the time came to £66.07, which wasn't too bad, especially with the early birds getting free postage and packaging. So I placed my order and within a month it was delivered, which was impressive.

Lets's start with the video of everything before we go onto the pictures. It's quite short, so don't be afraid. I also mention that mine seems to have a slight lean, or does it!


Now for the obligatory photos and as always, click on the first to enlarge them into a slide show.




















Again, Unbox have done a grand job (apart from that lean). Saying that, others have said that theirs doesn't lean, so maybe I am seeing it slightly different. Anyway, that doesn't distract from an excellent build at a fantastic price.

I look forward to seeing what they come up with next, will it be Anderson, or more Dark Judges, or how about a Mechanismo Judge.

PSI badge - Costume version by Planet Replicas



This badge from Planet Replicas is what all members of PSI Division wear at Justice Department, in Mega-City One. It doesn't have the Judges name, rather it shows that they are a member of PSI Div.

This badge is for display but also for wearing as part of your Judge cosplay due to it being so light. You could just add a bit of velcro to the back and place it where your normal badge on your uniform goes and then you won't get as sweaty at conventions, as you don't need to wear your helmet.

You can grab one for £30 from Planet Replicas by clicking on the link HERE!

Now follows the obligatory pictures of the badge.
