First up was the Gold plated Limited Edition run of <span style="color: red;">50,</span> which was sold out in less than 25 minutes. Then they released the Metal version, which had a run of <span style="color: red;">100</span> and that sold out rather rapidly as well.<br /><br />I went for the Metal one, as I prefer the finish and most of my previous buys are in this finish!<br /><br />You can go to Planet Replicas site <a href="https://www.planetreplicas.com/store--2000ad">here</a> and keep your eyes open, as you never know if they may do another run but as always, you need to get in fast on release day, as these are always in demand and you don't want to be one of those who misses out!<br /><br />Don't forget to click on the first image to start the slideshow.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<br />
This one is made from resin and therefore can either be displayed, by using the supplied stand, or you can wear it with your cosplay uniform.<br />

Yes folks, <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">JUDGE FIRE</span></b> is upon us and it has a special surprise, when it gets dark!<br />

After last years <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Lawgiver</span></b> con was over, this year it was re-branded to <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Lawless - A celebration of British Comics</b></span>. <b><span style="color: red;">Su</span></b> and her team worked their magic and another amazing line-up of talent was added to the guest list, alongside up and coming artists & writers and merchandise sellers!<br />

Anyway, as soon as the dates were known, I booked my room and sorted out a lift for a few of my fellow <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">2000 AD Southern Contingent</span></b> members, <b><span style="color: red;">Ashley</span></b>, <span style="color: red;"><b>Rachael</b></span> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Sheridan</b></span>. Kent to Bristol via London is always better with a few like minded lovers of all things 2000 AD in the car.<br />

By mid afternoon we had arrived at the Con hotel, <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>The DoubleTree by Hilton</b></span> and after quickly booking in and unpacking and saying hello to old friends and new and a few creators, who were also booking in, it was off to the <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Knights Templar</span></b> for some grub. Afterwards a group of us all piled into a taxi and headed to the <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Grain Barge</span></b>. This is the place where many of those at the con gather and reacquaint themselves with a drink or two on the Friday night!<br />
<br />
After that, it was another taxi ride back to the hotel. This one ended up being a hilarious Karaoke trip. Dolly Parton and Wham songs sung with gusto!<br />
<br />
Once back in the hotel, it was time to drink and chat through the night and generally have a good time. This always flies by and it's soon time to get some shuteye, as this time I didn't want to sleep in, like last year! <br />
<br />
You may recognise a few creators in the next batch of shots and yes, I did wear my Ron Hill running shorts all night!<br />

The next morning, after a hearty breakfast it was time to queue up, ready for the convention to begin. This is when <b><span style="color: red;">Pete Wells</span></b> turned up after jetting down like the Rock Star he is! It's always good to see one of the happiest people that I know!<br />
<br />
Once the doors were open, operation signature collecting swung into action. This entailed grabbing a couple more for my books. You can see that blog <a href="http://cellarofdredd.blogspot.com/2019/05/4-books-of-2000-ad-creators-signatures.html">HERE</a>. Then it was back and forth to the room with numerous Progs, books and cards to be signed. Once the majority of those were sorted, that's when I could relax and chat with creators and buy bits and pieces from them!<br />

During the con I managed to get about 80% of what I set out to do, done. With the car I can bring way over what I would normally, so I set myself a higher target and if I get over 50% achieved, then I've done well.<br />
<br />
I didn't go to any of the panels this year, as I had watched the <span style="color: red;"><b>Carlos Panel</b></span> at <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Enniskillen</span></b> and seeing as two of the guests were the same and I'd filmed it, I continued my hunt around the rooms. As for the other panels, I may have heard a story or two before, over the years. Obviously for many these were highly entertaining. I mean just look at what they had on.</div>

I had a few good chats with <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Planet Replicas</b></span> about what they are trying to get through. I chatted to <b><span style="color: red;">David Roach</span></b> about his upcoming art book and believe you and me, it sounds something special. <span style="color: red;"><b>John Wagner </b></span>mentioned his next story for <b><span style="color: red;">ROK of the Reds</span></b> and how he would like to promote it.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Eric Peterson</span></b> was also having an enjoyable time as his <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Space Bastards</b></span> seemed to be going down well with the new fans.<br />
<br />
There were other chats in the rooms but I also enjoyed watching a few sketches in progress and <span style="color: red;"><b>Boo</b></span> had a list of quite interesting ones, which included a sketch of a Lawgiver.<br />
<br />
It was also fun bumping into all the cosplay, old and new and just chatting with everyone as we all milled about.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the con was over, everyone went down to the<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b> Knights Templar</b></span> for grub and a few pints before retiring to the hotel bar.</div>

Back to the hotel and I surprised poor <span style="color: red;"><b>Nicklas </b></span>with a veritable feast of <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Marmite</b></span> products. This was after torturing him at another Lawgiver. This time it was much easier for him and he's now fully converted.</div>

After an evening of fun which went into the wee hours, I ended up outside with<span style="color: red;"><b> Pete Wells</b></span>, <b><span style="color: red;">Henry Flint</span></b>, <span style="color: red;"><b>Dom Reardon</b></span> and a few others and we discussed numerous things and I was truly lifted by the enjoyable things that were discussed between us. It's these little gems that take such events up another notch in my humble opinion. Hang on a second, when have I ever been humble!<br />
<br />
I retired as the birds began to sing and a little while later it was time to get up and have another filling breakfast before packing the car and travelling home. This was when the goodbyes seemed to go on for ever! A few friends I won't see again until the next <span style="color: red;"><b>Lawless</b></span>, as that is the way life is. Plus, they live in places like <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Sweden </b></span>and the <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Netherlands</span></b>.</div>

I'll end by saying that this is more like a mad family get together than a convention. The whole atmosphere is very relaxed and when everyone hits the bars, the fun begins and doesn't stop till the Sunday, when the goodbyes happen.<br />
<br />
The creators are wonderful and always surprise you with a sketch or a tale about something that they are working on but can't say on the web.<br />
<br />
The hotel is a great location and the other guests just roll with it, when they see the madness unfold before their very eyes.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Su</b></span> and her team do a magnificent job and from those humble beginnings, this is a convention not to be missed. In fact it's a bit like <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Hotel California</b></span> - <span style="color: #cc0000;">You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave! </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span>
Finally, to all you <span style="color: red;"><b>Dreddheads</b></span> and <b><span style="color: red;">2000AD fans </span></b>out there that make the pilgrimage each year. You are the lifeblood of this convention and long may it last.<br />

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nBVJP9Eu_y8/XOK4nv0a0PI/AAAAAAAAVJc/YV3ymgwR4fE3hHBImBxC_Vj8RI02AmZuACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_20190520_134209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1111" data-original-width="1600" height="221" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nBVJP9Eu_y8/XOK4nv0a0PI/AAAAAAAAVJc/YV3ymgwR4fE3hHBImBxC_Vj8RI02AmZuACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_20190520_134209.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
A few years ago I decided to see how many signatures I could collect in 5 books, over a whole year. You'll notice I said 5 but the title says 4, stay with me!<br />
<br />
I decided that the following books would be part of my insane master plan. Both versions of <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">THE ART OF JUDGE DREDD</span></b> books, the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>THRILL-POWER OVERLOAD</b></span> book and two of the Hachette <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>AMERICA</b></span> books.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The one rule is that you have to have worked on official <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">2000AD</span></b> material at least once and then you're in.<br />
<br />
I took them to a few cons and specialist signings throughout the year and realised my mistake straight away, as they are quite cumbersome and some might say heavy. Anyway at the end of the first year I held a free raffle at Christmas to give one of the America books away and at the time it had over 50 signatures inside. This was my way of giving something back to other fans, as if they couldn't make it to as many cons as me, or couldn't manage to get to any at all. Then at least they would have some signatures in a book, with a solid guarantee, that they were all real. Hence the 4 books in the post title.<br />
<br />
Once the year was over I realised that I didn't have quite a few of the creators that I had met at many a con before this idea came to me, so it has become an eternal task. Sadly I never added <b><span style="color: red;">Carlos Ezquerra</span></b> to them, as I would always think, I'll grab him next year! This if anything has spurred me on and I am glad to see quite a few of the old guard are starting to attend conventions, which is something rather special, as their work was the initial pull to the Prog that hooked me!<br />
<br />
Over the last fortnight I have been to <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Enniskillen Comic Fest</b></span> and also<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> Lawless</span></b>, were I added an extra 7 names to the books.<br />
<br />
Here are those books without their slip covers, as I never take them, due to the damage that would happen to them. When the creator has signed the America book, I scribble down where that was (some signatures are hard to distinguish) and then do a tidy copy, which you will see in the last photo.<br />
<br />
The ART OF books are different because Rebellion did a variant cover, which also had different colours and textures on the book itself. I managed to get <span style="color: red;"><b>Ron Smith</b></span> to sign the rare one at <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Forbidden Planet</b></span>. This you can see on the second picture, at the right of the 'E' in Judge.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sgMlLVGt2yA/XN381-N7FxI/AAAAAAAAVCE/WE5ReztMgtQ1nedZF-kWOsTsd7VYPTYEACLcBGAs/s1600/Enniskillen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="663" data-original-width="1600" height="132" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sgMlLVGt2yA/XN381-N7FxI/AAAAAAAAVCE/WE5ReztMgtQ1nedZF-kWOsTsd7VYPTYEACLcBGAs/s320/Enniskillen.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I had heard a few reports about this convention but the one that swung it for me in the end was when I bumped into <b><span style="color: red;">Dan Abnett </span></b>in town. He'd been to the 2018 one and had a wonderful time. The host was excellent, the location in town perfect and the fans engaging. What more do you want from a con, apart from a drink here and there!<br />
<br />
That was it, hotel booked and flight sorted out, I was going! It was a bit of a killer for me, as I had <span style="color: #cc0000;">Free Comic Book Day</span>, with the <span style="color: #cc0000;">2000 AD Southern Contingent gathering</span> the weekend before and the weekend after was<span style="color: #cc0000;"> Lawless</span> in Bristol, but this would be another convention ticked off my bucket list.<br />
<br />
By the way, I better mention that <span style="color: #cc0000;">Enniskillen</span> is in <span style="color: #cc0000;">Northern Ireland</span> and situated in some of the most beautiful countryside you can imagine!<br />
<br />
The con weekend arrived fast and I flew to <span style="color: #cc0000;">Belfast International Airport</span> and was picked up along with Beano artist, <b><span style="color: red;">Nigel Parkinson</span></b>. Before long I was dropped off at my accommodation and then it was off down the town at around 20:30.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
On the way to the pub I met <b><span style="color: red;">Clint Langley</span></b> who was off for some grub and then it was into <span style="color: #cc0000;">Blakes of the Hollow</span>, where everyone was enjoying a few drinks.<br />

<br />
The drink flowed and many tales were told and I also had a preview of the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Space Bastards</b></span> book, which was having it's first showing at this event. There will be a video of this panel in the future being posted up by me, so I won't go into too much details about this, except....<br />
<br />
The story is hilarious and well thought out by<b><span style="color: red;"> Eric Peterson</span></b> and<b><span style="color: red;"> Joe Aubrey</span></b>, with a universe to open up and the art is top of the game. Well, what would expect from the likes of<b><span style="color: red;"> Simon Bisley</span></b> and <span style="color: red;"><b>Darick Robertson</b></span>, with <b><span style="color: red;">Boo Cook</span></b> on the front and back covers.<br />
<br />
After a few more drinks, Eric, Simon and myself popped into a Chinese restaurant at 23:30 and it was closing at midnight. Obviously we ordered quickly, with another drink to wash it all down with and then it was an end to the night, as we walked back to the hotels and Simon ended up sleeping in my spare room, which was more convenient for him for the day ahead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fNz1TJFm3Rw/XN39v13nI7I/AAAAAAAAVCo/JirlBUnnAzc8cFLNg_j0iuSpKE4Krgc0QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190510_235755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fNz1TJFm3Rw/XN39v13nI7I/AAAAAAAAVCo/JirlBUnnAzc8cFLNg_j0iuSpKE4Krgc0QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20190510_235755.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The next day we helped Eric move his boxes of Space Bastards to the convention hall and then I had a good look 'round and managed to grab a few pictures of the <span style="color: red;"><b>2000 AD</b></span> creators without bothering any fans, as they were not in yet.<br />
<br />
Before the event was open, we quickly had a breakfast at a lovely place called <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Jolly Sandwich Bar</span>, which had some delicious and filling food, even if we made it look like a scene from <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Withnail and I</span></b>.<br />
<br />
Once the doors opened and guess what folks, it's <b><span style="color: orange;">FREE ENTRY</span></b>, I went on my signature hunt and I can happily report that everything that I brought in my hand luggage was signed. Prog covers by <span style="color: red;"><b>Bisley</b></span>, <b><span style="color: red;">Dorey</span></b> and <b><span style="color: red;">McMahon</span></b> and five more names into my four large books full of signatures. They're now up to 126 signatures and counting!<br />
<br />
Here are the obligatory pics. so open up the slideshow and enjoy! By the way, I won't name everyone, as you should know most of them, plus a few have signs saying who they are!<br />

Once my work was done, it was time to relax and watch art being produced, chat with creators, especially ones who I had never met. <b><span style="color: red;">Mike Dorey</span></b> was at his first con and it was a delight to chat to him about his work and I said that he needs to get out to more cons but proper comic cons, were fans will know his work and not the LFCC and MCM events.<br />
<br />
I also managed to chat to <b><span style="color: red;">Eoin Coveney </span></b>about his style amongst other things. A quick chat with <b><span style="color: red;">Nick Roche</span></b>, who had only just became a droid for Tharg in that weeks actual Prog.<br />
<br />
I grabbed a chat with <b><span style="color: red;">Patrick Goddard</span></b> and <b><span style="color: red;">Maura McHugh</span></b> about their future Judge Anderson tale, of which there was some pages of art for sale on the table.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">The Space Bastards</span></b> panel with <span style="color: red;"><b>Eric Peterson</b></span>, <b><span style="color: red;">Simon Bisley </span></b>and <b><span style="color: red;">Clint Langley</span></b> was extremely entertaining and as said earlier, that panel will go online in the near future.<br />
<br />
I also went to the <b><span style="color: red;">Carlos Ezquerra</span></b> panel which was hosted by the event organiser, <b><span style="color: red;">Paul Trimble</span></b> and it had <b><span style="color: red;">John Wagner</span></b> and <span style="color: red;">Alan Hebden</span> chatting about their work with Carlos. This is already online!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There was also an art display of Carlos' work, with some exceptional work on show, including the Al's Baby (Demi Moore) image.<br />
<br />
After a lot more chatting throughout the day things were winding down for me and then at 17:00 <span style="color: red;"><b>Ryan Brown</b></span> turned up and the last hour flew by, as he perched on the end of the Bisley, Peterson & Langley table.<br />
<br />
Once the event was over, it was time to hit the pub for a quick one, on the way back to the hotel. This turned into half a dozen and then we dropped our bags off, grabbed a McDonald's and then went to pub again.<br />

Once we finished there it was off to the hotel bar till about 04:45 before we finally went to our hotel, with Ryan in tow this time.<br />

A couple of hours later, I woke up, Ryan caught his bus home and eventually I woke the Biz and we decamped to Eric's hotel, were Clint was and awaited our transport back to the airports.<br />

All in all, I had an absolute blast, as this had the same feel as Hi-Ex! did in Inverness a few years back.<span style="color: red;"><b> Paul Trimble</b></span> brought in a mixture of creators (obviously I was full on 2000 AD in this) which kept everyone happy and he put on a drokkin' awesome con and long may it continue! Mustn't forget all his staff, that helped him out as well, for without them, it just wouldn't happen.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">Carlos Ezquerra</span></b> sadly passed away on the 1st of October 2018. This came as a tremendous shock to all the <span style="color: #cc0000;">2000 AD</span> fans across the world. An amazingly talented artist who created many of the characters that we love today and such a friendly man at the conventions. No matter how long the queue was for his table, he made your time with him so special, whether you wanted a sketch, some items signed, or just a chat!<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>Planet Replicas</b></span> brought out a full size replica of <b><span style="color: red;">Carlos Ezquerra's</span></b> Lawgiver at the back end of 2018. This was the<b> Signature Edition</b> run of 100 pieces, which would come with a signed gold foiled certificate card. Sadly for comic fans around the world, our beloved King Carlos passed away and so things went quiet for a short time, as his fans mourned his death.</div>
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Planet Replicas</span> came back to the fans and informed them that they would still get the gold foiled signature card but obviously, unsigned and that there would be a commemorative item included in this run of Lawgivers. There was no rush from the fans, as they knew things had slowed down due to the aforementioned sad event.<br />
<br />
Sometime in the near future there will be another 250 pieces added to the total run but those will be just the Lawgivers themselves. The commemorative pieces were just for the initial run of 100. When these go online, make sure to grab one, as I am sure they will sell out rather rapidly and at only £85 plus P&P, you can't go wrong!<br />
<br />
I was off to <span style="color: red;">Wales Comic Con </span>at the beginning of December, with a few photo ops booked with <b><span style="color: red;">Karl Urban</span></b> and a ton of stuff to be signed. I managed to have my Lawgiver sent early, so we could have Dredd himself holding it in a picture, which we succeeded in. Sadly he pointed his straight down the camera lens, so to the untrained fan, it might not be possible to figure out what he is holding! He also held in his left hand the Carlos Ezquerra Dredd badge and all in all it looks good, even with me stood next to him holding the <b><span style="color: red;">MKI Lawgiver</span></b>. <span style="color: red;">Steve Green</span> manipulated the background from plain white to Mega-City One.<br />

Can you see what they have done here. This is another reason why Planet Replicas are so in touch with their fans. For a start, they produce excellent merchandise, at reasonable prices but they know that these little extras really go down well.</div>

This next piece is the gold foiled certificate card, which as you can see is credit card sized. Just looking at it and that blank space will always remind me of Carlos and all the enjoyment he has brought me, through his work.<br />
<br />
Some people say you should never meet your heroes but as with many of the 2000 AD creators, that saying can be ignored. Carlos was a lovely human being and so up for a chat and a drink with his fans, as well as his fellow creators. A true gent!</div>

This final piece is the special commemorative item that was included with the Lawgiver and if anyone tells you that they didn't well up a little when they held this in their hand, then they're lying.<br />
<br />
I was mightily impressed with the Dredd groups on Facebook, as when the initial deliveries of the 100 Lawgivers arrived, nobody posted pictures of theirs for a while. I feel this was out of respect for Carlos and wanting others to feel the same, when they opened their box. Another part of why the Dredd fans are a breed apart. We might be a small but growing fan base but when something like this happens, it's not a case of <b>SPOILER DROKK YOU!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Strontium Dog</b></span> is another one of <span style="color: #990000;"><b>2000 AD's</b></span> main characters and a fan favourite, since he arrived in <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Starlord</b></span>. Don't tell me that you don't know about that comic, well best you go and try and read his stories from there then!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You also may or may not know that <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Planet Replicas</b></span> were the prop makers for the two fan films, Judge Minty and also Search/Destroy. While the Strontium Dog fan film was being made, a few people were hoping that merchandise would be forthcoming from that character and this badge is the first official item.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-NvNMZl780/XDIazJNp0pI/AAAAAAAAUMg/5yGD4_5y4t0sXzEQZkl18WrvhFGapEePQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSCN4816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1151" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P-NvNMZl780/XDIazJNp0pI/AAAAAAAAUMg/5yGD4_5y4t0sXzEQZkl18WrvhFGapEePQCLcBGAs/s400/DSCN4816.JPG" width="287" /></a></div>
<br />
In August 2002,<b><span style="color: red;"> 2000 AD</span></b> published these two Archive books but then, there were no more! These were the precursor of the <b>Case Files</b> and were in black and white, which meant that the 4 colour pages, of each prog look quite strange. The reproduction is of varying qualities, as many pages are crisp and sharp but then, every so often a dull and faded page is included, which spoils the readers pleasure.<br />
<br />
Here's a video of me looking at Vol 1 and you can see some of those pages below.<br />
<br />

<br />
As for the size of the two books, they are slightly taller and thinner than the original progs but the strip is reprinted at the same size. As for the contents, it's as if the progs were stapled together in groups of ten, as all the adverts are included, along with posters and cutaways.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">Lawgiver IV </span></b>was held for the third year running at the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel</i></span> in Bristol, on the 26th of May. After it's small beginnings in Birmingham, each year it has steadily grown bigger, with the fandom really seeing it for what it is, an amazingly fun convention, with some of the finest comic creators on the planet.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Su Haddrell</span></b> and her hard working team seem to go above and beyond each year, with this year being the best yet and in my honest opinion, the equal of any other 'true' comic convention. In fact, for the size of it, no other con can touch it.<br />
<br />
<b>The</b> list of creators was revealed over the weeks before the convention and to see Facebook light up with excited chatter, must've calmed the teams nerves.<br />
<br />
<b>Let's </b>just name them:-<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ian Gibson</span></b> - <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Simon Bisley</span></b> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Mick McMahon</b></span> - <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Glen Fabry</span></b> <br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Dylan Teague</b></span> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Steve Austin</b></span> - <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ryan Brown </span></b>- <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Lee Carter</b></span> <br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mike Collins</span></b> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Pete Doherty</b></span> - <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dan Cornwell</span></b> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Henry Flint</b></span> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Thomas Foster</b></span> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Patrick Goddard</b></span> -<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> John Higgins</span></b> <br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Clint Langley</span></b> - <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">David Millgate</span></b> - <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>David Roach</b></span> & <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Paul Williams</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Also</b> in attendance but not on the list was <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Sally Jane Hurst</b></span> but you probably wouldn't know, unless you knew what she looked like.<br />
<br />
<b>Sadly</b> two guests had to pull out <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Alan Grant</span></b> & <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dave Taylor</span></b> and we wished them good fortune.<br />
<br />
<b>I </b>traveled to it with 3 friends in the car, which always makes the journey more enjoyable, even when we hit the jams. On arrival at 19:00 on the Friday, it was quickly unpack, shower and off to the <span style="color: red;"><b>Dredd Screening Drinking Club</b></span> organised meet, on the Grain Barge along the river. It's a pleasant walk through the town to get to the barge and when we arrived, we could see that the drinking had been well under way for a few hours.<br />
<br />
<b>Once</b> on board it was time to catch up and chat to old friends and new, along with a few of the creators who were there. There was one insane moment when the Lucha Libre masks came out, which was in turn topped by <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Lemmy</i></span>, in his full wrestling kit. The rest of the time was spent chatting until we started to make our way back to the hotel for a few nightcaps but not before some of us found another pub on the way back.<br />

<b>Once</b> at the hotel, the usual suspects were at the bar and the evening flew by, as many a tale was told and drink was quaffed. I think we went to bed sometime around 03:30. As we had to be up for 'doors opening' at 09:00 and grabbing one of only 50 goody bags, which had some nice stuff inside.<br />
<br />
<b>Here</b> are the obligatory hotel bar pictures from Friday night with no names, so as to protect the guilty.<br />

<b>I</b> awoke to what I thought was an alarm that I had not set but was in fact <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Pete Wells</i></span> ringing me and when he rang off, I then realised it was the phone and then noticed the time. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">BOLLOCKS!</span></b> It was 09:26 and I had slept in. I quickly grabbed my clothes and rushed down the lift. When the doors opened the queue was right outside and there was no way on earth I was in the first 50. Good job my insane collecting days are over nowadays, as this was truly a <span style="color: red;"><b>GOODY BAG</b></span>.<br />

<b>On</b> entering I had a quick look round and the layout was excellently figured out. Straight opposite was the dealers room and that had <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Dale Jackson</i></span> as the centrepiece with a hell of a lot of original artwork, prints, t-shirts and merchandise for sale. on the edges of the room, there were other tables, with <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>David Broughton</i></span> (small press) with his display of art and books and drawing sketches with a few chats thrown in. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Jonathan Moriarty North</i></span>, with quite a few of his replica pieces of merchandise. There were some lovely bits on his table.<br />

<b>I</b> went into the room where <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Planet Replicas</span></b> were and what a stand, with all their shiny merchandise on display. Next to them were the Judge Minty & Strontium Dog fan film displays and this drew the fans like moths to a flame.<br />
<br />
<b>First</b> off, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Dan</span> of Planet Replicas has some interesting new merchandise coming out soon and also some ideas which he wants the fans feedback on. It seems that the Lawgiver MK III from the new design by Carlos will be available for pre-orders on the 29th of June. This will be going down well, with the fans who have the two previous versions and any fan who has missed out on them. Dan also had a preview of the Rico puzzle gun from the '95 Judge Dredd film.<br />
<br />
<b>Around</b> the side of his tables, he had some helmets that are nearing completion for Dredd and Rogue Trooper and also a clever Bagman. Just to the right was a table of costume parts for the Judges. Lighter pads, lighter eagles and new pouches. He has been working hard!<br />

For those who are new to the scene and don't know if they have to pay for a sketch or not, or what the price may be. Those very artists will have a list somewhere near them and if you look at the image below, you will see such a thing in front of Paul Williams. I had already managed to grab a sketch from Paul, as he did a few Facebook competitions. Once I had seen one of his absolutely stunning commissions I asked to be put on the list but I never got around to chat about it at the con.<br />

<b>In</b> the main room, which was rather warm, especially when three artists had massive queues for them at certain times throughout the day. This was were you could see the rest of the creators. Out of all the tables I think <span style="color: #cc0000;">David Roach</span> will need at least a few more in future, just to display some of the truly amazing artwork he brings to show.

The one on the left was sold and the one on the right is an upcoming Prog cover and they both looked amazing close up. He also had some limited edition prints and a couple of books for sale. Before you ask, yes I did inform him of the links.<br />
<br />
<b>By</b> the way, if you get a chance to see original artwork like this at a convention, then do it. So much is dulled down and lost when it hits the prog and you will see this when you look at something like these two images from David. I particularly loved the lightning effects and street lights on the cover to be.<br />

<b>Behind</b> David was <span style="color: #cc0000;">Steve Austin</span> who showed me the prelims to a commission that I'd had fun coming up with! After constantly changing which cinematic characters Dredd and a certain few Judges would kill, I eventually came to a decision and just looking at the rough is exciting and I can't wait to see it unfold over the weeks or months ahead. Remember folks, commissions come after their paid day jobs, so never expect them to drop everything just to satisfy your needs.<br />

<b>Next</b> to Steve was <span style="color: #cc0000;">Ryan Brown</span>, who had his stunning array of cover prints on display and he surprised me with this awesome Dredd, which mean't that I had to go back up the room to place it away for safe keeping. When I entered the room, I realised Ashley was still in bed, as this shape moaned from the other bed. I just laughed and went on my way back down, with more items to be signed. I think I had everything that I needed to be signed by Ryan, even after I said 'That's it!' and then pulled another cover out from a box.</div>

<b>I</b> think it was during this time that I remembered that I hadn't had breakfast and it was only on for another 6 minutes. I had to decide what to do and I'm ashamed to say, I went and had a full English and wasted precious con time, but it kept me going, so it was the correct decision.<br />
<br />
<b>After</b> I wolfed that down it was back into the throng of happy people. and looking at who to get stuff signed by next, or grab a quick chat with. I noticed that<span style="color: #cc0000;"> John Higgins</span> was about to be free, so I managed to buy his 'Art of' book and having only flicked through it, it looks stunning, with beautiful layouts.<br />

<b>Sat</b> next to him was <span style="color: #cc0000;">Sally Jane Hurst</span>, 2000 AD colourist for John, bloody good artist in her own right and singer. I had to have her signature put into my 4 books that I carry to every con and finally I managed it along with a series called Jacked, which I had previously had signed by John, Ryan and Glen at the last Lawgiver. A two year wait but I got there in the end! This signature collecting can become a thing you know!</div>

<b>While</b> chatting to Sally, I noticed the queue for <span style="color: #cc0000;">Ian Gibson </span>finally shortening, so once Sally had signed the last item, I made my way to his table and proceeded to dig out a few comics. I must admit to going back a few times, mainly as I can't carry everything in one go.<br />

<b>I</b> think the last people I chatted to in the hall were <span style="color: #cc0000;">Mike Collins</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Mick McMahon</span>, which was very close to the end of the day. Mike signed a few comics and the Daily Dredd and I managed to get Mick to sign a certain colour poster and another ongoing item of signatures but I will only show you where he signed on that, until the rest is signed.<br />

<b>I</b> did manage to get a load of stuff signed but putting up hundreds of pictures would get a bit boring. I also managed to grab a few decent chats but remember folks 'What happens at the con, stays at the con' and this is why you really need to get to this the next time.<br />
<br />
<b>Having</b> heard what what was said at some of the panels, my Grud, there were some funny tales recounted and when you hear them second hand, you wish you had been in on the panel but alas, that is the curse of such a con, you can't physically do everything.<br />
<br />
<b>Throughout</b> the day, the cosplay brightened up the hotel and also the town, as they wandered off for a meal, which they do each year. That was after the group photos, which were taken outside the hotel.<br />
I've included a few excellent pictures of them (I may be in one) which were taken by Steve Green.<br />

<b>If </b>you want to see more pictures, then you should have a look at the Lawgiver Facebook page, which is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1417073338554565/">here!</a> That will show you many more awesome pictures from the convention. <br />
<br />
<b>The</b> end of the con came and Su chatted to all the fans and creators alike in the main panel room. Many thanks were said and rounds of applause heard, as another Lawgiver came to a close. BUT there was a shock in store, as Su dropped the killer words 'this was the last ever Lawgiver, as Rebellion had withdrawn their blessing' The stunned audience started to boo but then Su brought us into the light by saying 'Don't worry, we will be back at the same time, same place but under a different name and with more of a spread of UK comics' and with that, the cheers erupted.<br />
<br />
<b>That</b> was it then, the final Lawgiver but with a rebirth in 12 months time. We could only think of what might be added to the con. <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Beano</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Dandy</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Viz</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Tank Girl</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">The Eagle</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Dr Who</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Warhammer</span>, etc... Which other guests could Su get in to talk about their work, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Pat Mills</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Dan Abnett</span>, etc...<br />
<br />
<b>With</b> these ideas being chatted about, we all started to head over to the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Knights Templar</i></span> for the start of the evenings fun. I think as a group of people we took over a third of it and the drinks did flow and a few hardy souls did not go into the pub when the rain sort of started.<br />
<br />
<b>During</b> the evening there was a surprise for me. I was sat outside chatting and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Mick Ramsey</span> called me inside and he had a sort of serious face on. I thought there must be a draw on, or something. Anyway I wandered inside and there were a few people lined up and I was called to the front, thinking that I will be first to draw the first ticket. Little did I know that he and his motley crew had a joke lined up.<br />
<br />
<b>Those</b> lined up, on the word of command, lifted their t-shirts up, to reveal a fantastic t-shirt taking the mick out of the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>2000 AD Southern Contingent</i></span> that I help organise (we meet up in London for drinks throughout the year). They were wearing extremely large and doctored versions of our t-shirt. Theirs said 'Southern Shandy Drinkers Contingent - We Like Shandy And Dredd' and then they presented me with one and I became honorary vice president.<br />
<br />
<b>I</b> was very touched by this and they had kept it a secret for 3 months and what was strange was that at the time they pulled this on me, I was actually wearing one of our contingent tops. This is another reason why the fans of Dredd have all become good friends, no matter where we are from in the world, Old Stony Face brings us together.</div>

<b>After</b> this madness of fun and chat it was time for some sleep before the drive back on the Sunday.<br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast </b>was fun as well as Ashley, Wendy (Perp Payne) and me were entertained by stories from Glen Fabry and what stories they were!</div>
</div>
<br />
<b>What </b>can I say about this con that hasn't already been said... I've been to many conventions out there and they all have something going for them, sadly some have lost their way a bit. Lawgiver on the other hand just keeps on giving. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Su Haddrell</b></span> manages to ask the best guests from <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>2000 AD's </i></span>glorious history to attend and they always live up to their billing. Even if you don't manage to have a chat to them all at the con, there is always the bar afterwards, or even over breakfast.<br />
<br />
<b>The</b> fans never cease to amaze me with the fun that they get up to and the the distance some of them travel to get there. The USA, Holland, Sweden, Northern Ireland, Scotland and even Wales. The Dredd community is strong and vibrant, with many up for the best fun possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Gotta</b> also thank the hotel for allowing the con to be held there and making it so easy for us to get out of our beds and just walk a few drunken yards into the con itself.<br />
<br />
<b>Last</b> but by no means least the groups on Facebook really helped spread the word about this con and that helps a lot. The<span style="color: #cc0000;"> D.S.D.C.</span> (Dredd Screening Drinking Club), <span style="color: #cc0000;">The UK Judges</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Brit-Cit Judges</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Belfast Sector House 13 - The Pit</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">2000AD & Judge Dredd Tat and Chat</span>, <span style="color: #cc0000;">ECBT2000AD</span> and the <span style="color: #cc0000;">2000 AD Southern Contingent</span>. I may have forgotten some and if so, I apologise.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Mick McMahon's</b></span> Dredd badge is the third in the <span style="color: yellow;">'Artists Collection'</span> line, created by <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Planet Replicas</b></span>, after <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>Carlos</i></span> and <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jock</span></i>.<br />
<br />
Now this beast is pretty heavy compared to the previous ones, due to the angled rise towards the middle of the badge and it's width. You can see the differences between the creators versions but they are still distinctively Joe's badge. As with the previous ones, this comes with a velvet pouch to keep it safe and also a display stand, for when it joins all your other badges.<br /><br />You can order yours at <a href="https://www.planetreplicas.com/">Planet Replicas</a> but at the moment of writing this, they are sold out! Yes fellow Dreddheads, you have to keep an eye out on their page to always try and get in on the first run of badges, or other merchandise.<br />

<br />A little while ago, <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Steve Green</span></b> of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aavS_XUITXU">JUDGE MINTY</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5EZaO1HPF4">SEARCH/DESTROY: A Strontium Dog fan film</a> did some magic stuff with his computer and sent the files to <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dan</span></b> over at <a href="https://www.planetreplicas.com/">PLANET REPLICAS</a> and they produced a one off badge, from when Dredd was the Luna-1 Judge Marshal for 6 months. Dan probably thought there wasn't a demand for this but a few of us Dreddheads saw it and asked if we could have one.<br /><br />At<b> <span style="color: #cc0000;">Lawgiver IV</span></b>, the Dredd Con, our wishes came true, as a small run had been produced in resin.<br /><br />Since the badge has become public knowledge, the demand has started to grow, so you never know, by the time you read this, Dan may be contemplating a larger run but that obviously needs people to be asking for them!.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Judge Mortis</b></span> is the second of the Dark Judges to have their name badge immortalised by <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Planet Replicas</b></span>, the home of excellent 2000 AD merchandise.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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. <a href="https://www.planetreplicas.com/product-page/judge-mortis-badge-replica">PLANET REPLICAS SHOP</a><br />

<b><span style="color: red;">Unbox Industries</span></b> 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.<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: orange;">'Unbox Industries once again join force with 2000 AD to expand upon their series of stunning interpretations based on the universe of Judge Dredd.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;">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.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /><b>BRIAN BOLLAND ART EDITION JUDGE DEATH<br />SIZE: 14" FIGURE (INCLUDING BASE)</b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">ARTICULATION: NON ARTICULATED</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">MATERIALS: PVC & ABS</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">PACKAGING: PRINTED BOX</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">FREE SHIPPING ON ALL JUDGE DEATH ORDERS UNTIL JANUARY 2018 WHILE STOCKS LAST</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span>
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."<br />Packaged in a stunning box, the figure is a must for serious collectors.'</span></span><br />

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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />

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.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>

This badge from <b><span style="color: red;">Planet Replicas</span></b> is what all members of <b><span style="color: #990000;">PSI Division</span></b> 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

This is the second statue from <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pop Culture Shock Collectibles</b></span> and it's <span style="color: #990000;">Judge Dredd's</span> most famous perp, <span style="color: red;"><b>JUDGE DEATH!</b></span><br />
Death was designed by <span style="color: #990000;">Brian Bolland</span> but this statue is taken from a poster by <span style="color: #990000;">Garry Leach</span> and it's drokkin' stunning. Here's that very poster!<br />

<br />
The info from <span style="color: #990000;"><b>PCS Toys</b></span> about this statue is as follows:-<br />
<br />
From Rebellion Interactive's series, 2000 AD, the leader of the Dark Judges, Judge Death comes from an alternative dimension where "the crimes is life, the sentence is death." This museum quality Polystone statue is depicted in epic 1:3 scale, standing 21" tall, strictly limited to 275 pieces worldwide.<br />
<br />
The "<span style="color: #990000;">Death Sentence Edition</span>" includes three additional interchangeable pieces, a 'Grinning Head' an 'Impaled Judges Helmet' and an 'Impaled Angel Gang members head'. In addition, this statue comes with a signed certificate of authenticity. This is limited to 125 pieces worldwide<br />
<br />
Here's a video of me showing off the Death Sentence Edition, so you can see all the extra bits.<br />

As said in the video, I wish his leathers were darker, or at least the same colour as the helmet. Apart from that and the gravestone, this is an excellent statue.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15807495874851552752noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465304899888752612.post-33796840254868498602017-11-09T16:54:00.000+00:002017-11-09T17:01:51.194+00:001/6 scale Tharg action figure from 3A<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Tharg </b></span>is the first figure from the <span style="color: #990000;">2000 AD</span> range of figures from <span style="color: #990000;">3A</span><br />
<br /></div>
</div>

This figure came out as a limited edition (more on that later) and was sold out within 48 minutes of it going on sale. This 'Limited Edition' has <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg</span></strong> emblazoned with the 2000 AD logo from when it first came out in 1977. It's on his left breast and also on the belt buckle. The next version will have the more up to date logo! <b><span style="color: red;">E</span></b><b><span style="color: red;">DIT:</span> </b>This never came to fruition!</div>

Okay where to start, I suppose the packaging that the action figure arrived in is the logical place. The protective cardboard box has the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>McMahon</b> </span>artwork on the front, so you knew what was inside the brown box straight away. It also says what number you figure is, mine says 192. The box itself is extremely sturdy, so I doubt anyone will have had a crushed figure arrive.</div>

Next up, the display box itself. This looks superb and has definitely had a lot of work put into the design of it. <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg's</span></strong> head by <span style="color: #990000;"><b>McMahon</b> </span>is on the front, covering at least 2/3rds of the lid. The rest of the lid has the 2000 AD logo. Tharg's name and 3A's branding at the top. The sides have similar logo's strewn across them. The base of the box has Tharg's head covering the whole thing plus a bio of him and some translations of his language.</div>

Okay now we get to the figure itself. Well it's <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg</span></strong> that's for definite but on the whole I am underwhelmed with the build quality of the body itself. The head is a good sculpt of the modern day editor but the Rosette of Sirius seems to stick out slightly too far for my liking.<br />
<br />
Also the actual figure has no hands or feet attached, Action Man manages this easily enough. The boots and gloves come off with the aid of ball & socket joints! The gloves have no hands inside and the fingers are all joined together. As for the feet, there ain't any inside the boots, so the stability of the figure is ruined. By the way you also get a spare right hand, which is shaped to hold the plastic cups!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's a short video, which has been added to the blog after a good five years, so I might have mellowed, compared to the write up!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V5B3TZpFef4/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V5B3TZpFef4?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The body itself is multi-jointed with the addition of extra movement on the torso itself. You have a moving joint for the chest and one for the stomach (this may be the way these figures are built these days but I'm comparing this to my Special Forces Action Man).</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
One thing I noticed upon opening the box was the smell of the two piece suit. The weathered look adds a nice touch but some of the stitching left a lot to be desired, especially on the jacket, around the yellow stripes. There are threads everywhere but you can burn those off, if needs be! Saying that, I think the suit is the best part of the figure.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
Now we come to the belt, with it's six cup holders, very reminiscent of '58 pattern webbing pouches' and all in yellow. The pouches do actually contain a cup in each of them as an added bonus but why, I don't recall seeing the green one store cups on his belt!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
Now I'm glad I bought this figure but I won't be buying the new logo <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg</span></strong> if that goes on sale, for the same price. I feel the whole fiasco with not knowing what the amount is for this limited edition is a bit of a con. How do I know it's 'Limited' seeing as there is no known number for the buyer to say that he has number 87/100 or such. For all I know there could be hundreds of these figures and I'll never know!<br />

So what do I think overall, well it comes to something when the packaging is better than what's inside, I'll leave it at that. I will only be buying from the Dredd range in future and shall leave the ABC Warriors for other collectors. I leave you with where I feel <strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg</span></strong> fits in my collection!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">This was written a few years back and we have seen things change with the 2000 AD line, in both what is coming, or not coming and how these figures are being released. I've been very happy with the figures since this first one came out and look forward to seeing what figures they add to the line. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Also, I did buy the ABC Warriors due to their build being so good. See how things change!</b></span></div>

These little sneckers are extremely sought after by collectors and fans alike. Yes, the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Gronk </b></span>is the one (or three) figure that many missed out on but now require.<br />

All three came with their own <span style="color: #990000;">Judge Fish</span> but more of him in another blog. As a set, they were priced at $75. <br />
The Gronk stands at 3" which isn't too big but then again, it is 1/12th scale.<br />
<br />
Here's a short video of the three figures and their packaging, followed by a load of pictures for you to enjoy!<br />

<br />
In March of 2016, <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pop Culture Shock Collectibles</b></span> placed the fourth statue, from their Dredd line, up for pre-order. You could go for the movie style or the unbelievably ridiculous hybrid of the comic/movie style.<br />
<br />
Both statues cost <span style="color: red;"><b>$439.99 </b></span>and were <b><span style="color: red;">1/4 scale</span></b><br />
<br />
Here's the link for the one I went for <a href="http://www.popcultureshocktoys.com/en/dredd-14-statue-pcs-mega-city-exclusive-2">DREDD</a> and as you can see, you get two interchangeable heads and right arms.<br />
<br />
You could pay for the statue in a couple of ways. Firstly you could pay it off in installments and pay the full $439.99. Secondly, you could pay for it on the spot and get a percentage off. This is the route I went and so paid 'only' $395.99, which at the time was £285.34. Now all I had to do was sit back and wait.<br />
<br />
Over the next 18 months a few pictures were released over their instagram account of the build.<br />

As you can see, if you followed their feed, the progress was posted every so often. Then out of the blue, the people who had bought this statue, started to receive invoices for the postage and packaging, which was the first indication that they were on the way.<br />
<br />
The invoice was $123.26, which at the time was £94.95 and this came at the end of September 2017.<br />
<br />
Then the good old customs withheld the drokkin' thing! Now I don't mind paying customs but I do resent the handling charge and the total for this was £30.53. As you can see, it all starts to add up and this wasn't anywhere near the most expensive in their Dredd range, which was Dredd sat astride his Lawmaster.<br />
<br />
Eventually mine turned up but not before a mate had received his and a few parts were broken. Let's just say, I was slightly apprehensive opening mine up to see if it was okay. Talking of which, here's the video of that event. Once you've watched it, have a look at the pictures below for finer details of the figure.<br />

<strong><span style="color: #990000;">3A</span></strong> produced a <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">1/12th</span></strong> scale <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mongrol</span></strong> the other year and I bought the normal version, which made a change, as I bought the Black Hole version in the 1/6th scale version the year before.<br />
<br />
I bought this one on a whim and forgot all about it, so when the <strong><span style="color: #990000;">2000 AD forum</span></strong> started to moan about the delay on the delivery date for these (yet again), I wasn't bothered. That is until I had a confirmation email with a tracking number inside. Thank God I had forgotten all about it then!<br />
<br />
In the following pictures you will notice that the <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mess</span></strong> only appears once and on the floor next to Mongrol's legs, the reason being that he falls out of the hole that he's supposed to fit in! Obviously you can fix him in with Blu-tack or glue.<br />

I've included a video that shows both the 1/6th and the 1/12th Mongrols, so you can see both colour designs and also the vast size difference. You'll notice they are quite fragile.<br />

This post is just for fun. At a few comic conventions I have had a few creators try on one of the helmets that I had in my possession. Let's see if you can guess which are which. The answers will be at the end, so no cheating!</div>
There are two bonus Judges who are not creators but you'll have seen them on TV.<br />
<br />
Some of the creators may have banners behind them, so you may look at that but it's not always their work, so try and just look at their chins!<br />

<br />
A while ago <b><span style="color: red;">Planet Replicas</span></b> started producing badges and obviously the first badge out had to be, <b><span style="color: #990000;">DREDD!</span></b> Who could possibly be up next, there was only one name really after Old Stoney Face..............<b><span style="color: #990000;">JUDGE DEATH!</span></b><br />
<br />
This is a lightweight badge (I have no idea what it's made from) and as per the norm with Planet Replicas, it looks spot on.<br />
<br />
At the time of posting this up, it is still available from their web shop. If you leave it too late to buy one, then you may risk missing out, which has happened with other badges in the past!<br />
<br />
Here's the link to their site, so you can buy your own <a href="https://www.planetreplicas.com/store--2000ad">PLANET REPLICAS SHOP</a><br />
<br />
As always, here's a stack of pictures to show you the badge in all its glory, or should that say gory. Don't forget, click on the first picture to start the slideshow!<br />

There are many comic conventions in the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>UK</b></span> but there is one that stands head and shoulders above the rest and is frequented by many <span style="color: #990000;"><b>2000 AD creators</b></span>, as well as names from across the industry. That convention is called, <a href="http://thoughtbubblefestival.com/">THOUGHT BUBBLE</a> and it's held annually in <span style="color: #990000;">Leeds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
Now, unlike <span style="color: #990000;">LFCC</span>,<span style="color: #990000;"> MCM</span>, etc... this is a pure comic convention. Above all else, the comics medium is in abundance here, unlike those previously mentioned names. They may have comic in the title but it always seems to be treated like an afterthought!<br />
<br />
There is merchandise to buy here and a strong and colourful cosplay scene as well but it's comics that are the star of the show!<br />
<br />
This year Thought Bubble had moved from it's home in the <span style="color: #990000;">Royal Armouries,</span> into the town itself. It was situated just north of The Headrow. The three marquees were erected in front of the Town Hall, on Cookridge Street and in the Millennium Square. Numerous other locations around those three points of interest held panels, workshops and more creators. You can see all you need to know about the convention if you head <a href="http://thoughtbubblefestival.com/">HERE</a> and navigate the site.<br />

I traveled up on the Friday evening from Kent, with my family and so missed the two <span style="color: #990000;">2000 AD</span> events held that night. The first up was the <b><span style="color: #990000;">Zarjaz! An Art Tribute To 40 Years Of 2000 AD</span></b>. This was the <span style="color: #990000;">Vice Press</span> exhibition of prints and art, with some props from <span style="color: #990000;">Planet Replicas</span>. There were a few prints that only went on sale that night and one was the Dredd one by <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Jock</b></span>. Luckily for me, a mate picked one up for me. Number 13 out of 125. I met Dale late on Friday night in a pub and we did a hand over, so I could relax. It's now in the framers, so it'll be on the wall soon.<br />

<br />
Here are a couple of links to show you what this event was all about. First up, the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Vice Press</b></span> announcement <a href="https://vice-press.com/pages/zarjaz-an-art-tribute-to-40-years-of-2000-ad">LINK</a> Secondly this <a href="https://leedsgallery.com/whats-on/exhibitions/zarjaz-40-years-of-2000-ad/">LINK</a> from the gallery itself, which shows a lot of the art from the show but not all of it!<br />
<br />
Also on Friday night was the <b><span style="color: #990000;">2000 AD Juve Cube</span></b>. Which seems to have been a disco (get down with the cool kids) plus other exciting things and a freebie from Vice Press. Again, I couldn't make it, so can't really talk about it but here is the official announcement from 2000 AD, to explain what the event was <a href="https://2000ad.com/post/2007">LINK</a><br />

Come Saturday morning as we set off from our hotel, it seems that <span style="color: #990000;">Hagrid</span> and I presume <span style="color: #990000;">Professor Minerva McGonall</span> (I just looked at pictures online to see who the lady was portraying) were staying at the same location, so we took a picture of Sam with them.<br />

Then it was off for a hearty breakfast and then my wife and son hit the town for the day, while I had a nerdgasm firstly at the <b><span style="color: #990000;">Vice Press</span></b> gallery, which was a little out of the way. I was there for 10:00, which was lucky, as a mate went soon after and one of the prints that I had bought was sold out, as he tried to buy it.<br />
<br />
It was a compact gallery with a cafe and meant that the art was even more enjoyable, as you could see a wall of 10 or 20 prints and wonder what that would look like at home, especially as you sat down with a coffee, or something stronger!<br />
I had an enjoyable look round, then I bought two prints and then wandered back to my hotel to place them safely away and then head up to the convention itself.<br />Remember to click on the pictures to enlarge them into a slide show!</div>

Once at the convention, I had to look at the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>2000 AD</b></span> tables first. Their first event of the day, the Writing Competition was already on and there was no way I could get to that and the Vice Press and back to the hotel, so I gave this event a miss. They left <span style="color: #990000;">Oliver</span> (I'm sure that was his name) manning the table, which he did admirably. I did have a little chat with him and bought a couple of items.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Vice Press</span></b> had their tables opposite and they seemed to be having a good day but the only problem with this location was the width of the aisle. It was ridiculous and I bet a few buyers of prints were a bit worried about getting out the place without damaging their newly bought art.<br /><br />I had a good chat with the team and congratulated them on putting their money where their mouth was and producing these prints and having the exhibition. Obviously not all the prints are to everyone's liking but there is something there for everyone and from seeing how well they were doing, it was a success for them and for those who bought stuff.</span></div>

I then managed to have a chat with numerous creators about their work, be it a particular story or certain pages of their artwork and with a few, look inside their portfolios, which is always a delight. To me this is one of the main reasons to come to such events. Seeing artwork close up, with the chance to buy some is great. Also some of the stories that are told are hilarious and enlightening but as the saying goes.</div>

Here's <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Tom Foster</b></span> hard at work sketching for a fan. His Vice Press artist proof prints were on sale at his table, which you can see and I also took a few pictures of his Dredd tale from his portfolio. While having a chat about his art, he signed a Prog cover for me. He also told me about something that he's doing and I can't wait to see it on the page!<br />

I wandered up to the <b><span style="color: #990000;">Ian Edginton</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #990000;">D'Israeli</span></b> table for a chat about their excellent <span style="color: #990000;">Scarlet Traces</span> and picked up a copy of the first collected trade, along with having some covers signed. This story is their version of The War of the Worlds and the continuation of it. It's an excellent read with stunning artwork. It also reflects the world today but not in a full on, in your face way. The characters are engaging, the settings out of this world and the horrors are brought to the reader with some interesting visuals! I highly recommend this and I know, it's not Judge Dredd!</div>

From there it was a constant web of walking back and forth to tables to chat with creators, get stuff signed and buy items. In no particular order I saw the entertaining area that held<b><span style="color: #990000;"> Simon Davis</span></b>, <b><span style="color: #990000;">Richard Starkings</span></b> and <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Boo Cook</b></span>. Boo was constantly sketching every time I saw him and he told me off about my book burning, which was a joke advert I did for people to rush out and buy the <span style="color: #990000;">2000 AD Ultimate Collection</span>. I'm sure you'll have seen it already.</div>
<br />
Boo has created the spine for that very collection and Richard now owns it (lucky bugger) and he had it with him and it looks amazing in the flesh. All those details up close and how did Boo go about placing which characters next to each other, to make it work, I will never know!<br />

When I was chatting with Richard an over enthusiastic fan barged me out of the way to buy some Elephant Men books and have them signed, which was funny. I then wandered off to another marquee and managed to catch <b><span style="color: #990000;">John Wagner</span></b> and we did an unboxing video of the 1/6th scale Judge Dredd from 3A. While there I bought the last 3 parts of his <b><span style="color: #990000;">Rok of the Reds</span></b>. This is going to be collected into a trade and series two will be coming!<br /><br />I then had the obligatory selection of books signed and no <span style="color: #990000;">Bolland</span> wasn't there, his signature was already on the books, from another event.</div>

I then had a look at the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>FutureQuake</b></span> table and picked up three of their fanzines, two issues of Dogbreath and one of Zarjaz. These are excellent A5 books, which <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Tharg</span></b> reads, so you never know! This can be a route into the Prog!</div>

Next to this table was the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Pigdog Press</b></span> lot and I managed to pick up part 3 of Killing Moon, only one more part to go.<br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Neil McClements, Neil Bhuna Roche</b></span> and <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Steven Austin</b></span> manned their table and I had a look at their wares, which had an impressive amount across their display. I mainly chatted to Steven about a commission and that is now on the go. All I will say is that many a Superhero is gonna die ha ha!<br /></div>
I then wandered outside and bumped into some of the 2000 AD groupies and we had a drink before the actual 2000 AD panel.<br />

The <b><span style="color: red;">2000 AD Panel</span></b> was pretty enjoyable. The guests were <span style="color: #990000;">Ian Edginton, INJ Culbard, John Wagner, Simon Davis, Tom Eglington</span> and <span style="color: #990000;">Emma Beeby</span>. It was light hearted and informative and the audience had a chance to ask a few questions before it ended with a free raffle. This event was filmed by <span style="color: #990000;">Steve Green</span>, of the <span style="color: #990000;">Judge Minty</span> and <span style="color: #990000;">Search/Destroy</span> fan films, so I won't go into it, as you'll be able to see it, once it's posted up!<br />

I went back to the hotel, changed and took my family out for a delicious meal and then met up with the drinkers and after an hour or so I put Carolyn and Sam into a taxi, while I continued drinking.<br />

When we all went our separate ways I went with Pete and Rob back to have a few drinks at their hotel bar and apparently there was a military do on in there.<br />
<br />
While sat down with Pete I said I recognised a few of these people. There were lads from my old military day with various units including my Bomb Disposal days. How small a world we live in!<br />

I eventually got back to my hotel at 03:00, which wasn't too bad!<br />
<br />
The next day, it was off to the con with Samuel this time, so Carolyn could do some shopping in peace. This day was the day that I took my big books to get signatures in. Sunday is always a more quieter day, especially in the morning. I wonder why that would be! This meant it would be easier to get to the people that I needed to see.<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Hannah Berry</b></span> was a delight, as we chatted Sam was messing about and we got onto talking about Autism and how the world looks at people with all types of disabilities. She also mentioned that she was doing a story with <b><span style="color: #990000;">Ben Willsher</span></b>, which sounded interesting. This was for the upcoming Scream and Misty book from Rebellion.<br /><br />I also had a chat with<span style="color: #990000;"><b> Jasper Bark</b></span> and bought this trade paperback from him after he did his hard sell to me. A complex story, which I am looking forward to read.<br />

I eventually made my way into the Victoria Hall, where I saw <b><span style="color: #990000;">Pete Woods</span></b> at his table and picked up this little Judge Death. He said that yesterday was insane, as the queue for the pop star was right in front of everyone's table in their aisle and until the staff sorted it out, they didn't have an enjoyable time. On the Saturday I did see the queue stretching outside and someone said that it was due to a pop star signing his book. It was some bloke from My Chemical Romance and my life is too short to bother checking online for his name. This put me off going into the hall, as I wasn't gonna join that to get in. Little did I know, the non pop star queue was non existent and I could've just wandered in. </div>

Sunday was drawing to a close for me and what I had set out to do when I was approached to answer a survey about the convention and city, which I quite enjoyed. I presume that the council are trying to see how much the city benefits from the event being in the new location and expanding.<br /><br />I had managed to accomplish nearly everything that I had set out to do from my list, just a couple of signatures not obtained due to timings but that's all part of the fun of these events.<br /><br />My overall thoughts on the new location. Well, it's good for me, as we always book the same hotel and now it's not the yomp it used to be, so that's a plus in my book! The spread of the marquees and locations was compact but with the third marquee being about 200 metres up one street and around a corner, it was a case of wondering where it was initially. This also meant that the amount of times that you saw your mates was severely curtailed, as there were so many routes to use between everything. At the Armouries you would bump into mates constantly due to the one route back and forth between the halls.<br /><br />The bounce in the marquees is also a bit of a problem for the artists, while they are doing their sketches.<br /><br />The security on entering the marquees and locations involved checking large bags, which was okay during the current climate but there were lapses. I'm sure the staff were bored stiff doing this!<br /><br />One thing that was a blessing, the sun was out over the whole weekend. If it had rained, I think the whole feel would've been different, especially with so much wandering about between locations.<br /><br />If you are a comics fan, then this is the convention for you! If you are a 2000 AD fan, then this convention has the most creators from the Prog in attendance in the country. <b><span style="color: #990000;">Lawgiver</span></b> and <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Enniskillen</b></span> are the next two events with decent amounts of 2000 AD creators in the same place!<br /><br />Saying all that, once the dates are announced for next year, I will book my hotel room that very day!<br /><br />

At <b><span style="color: #990000;">San Diego Comic Con 2017</span></b> there were a few 'Exclusives' to be obtained but the most wanted, was the<b><span style="color: #990000;"> Jock</span></b> badge from <b><span style="color: #990000;">Planet Replicas</span></b>, of which, he had 10 at the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>2000 AD</b></span> Booth.<br />
<br />
His signing was at 11:00 on the Saturday of the convention weekend and what a queue he had over that hour, which went on a wee bit longer than that, which kept the fans happy.<br />
<br />
The San Diego badge is much lighter, coming in at around 287g, while the standard badge is around 471g. It's not all down to the weight though, as you will see from the following pictures.<br />
<br />
The exclusive is a flat badge, while the standard is thicker, due to the convex nature of the curve that it has.<br />

I was luckily at San Diego and saw Jock at the booth but the person in front of me grabbed number 10 from Jock. I held it together and didn't let on how heartbroken I was, in fact is was quiet funny really, when you think about it!</div>

How I got my badge is another story, which I did tell on the <b><span style="color: red;">Everything Comes Back To 2000 AD Progcast</span></b> after I returned home from the convention. If you see me at a con, ask and I may tell you about it!<br />
<br />
I must add that Jock is an absolute delight and entertained all who queued up for him, with chat and sketches.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15807495874851552752noreply@blogger.com0
