After rewatching the movie a couple nights ago I'm still feeling tempted, as Stallone did make for a pretty memorable Dredd in those early scenes (at least a really over the top version of the character).
He is also the Law - 1/6 VTS Justice Judge

I just got my Dredd out of the box and on display and I must admit that I'm very impressed with it. As most have mentioned the chain is a pain to pose due to the magnet but I managed to dull the power of it enough using a small part of a flattened packing peanut to get it to sit right.
It's really nicely put together and sits in well with my other Dreads of the same scale. I have the Jack Burton Sideshow figure and must say that the head sculpt looks better than that for likeness and at almost half the cost (I'm UK based), it's a winner for me.
I think if you're on the fence for this figure and like Dredd then it's worth puling the trigger on as I think I prefer it to the 3A version

Thank you.
I think there must be only 3 if us who bought this figure. I'm surprised that more folks aren't posting.
I ordered mine from Cotswold Collectibles. They tend to get figures in a little later than most.

Got mine this week. It's a big improvement over the Xensation version, but there are still a few things that bug me. The single joint elbows are disappointing. They are covered and since the shoulder armour restricts upper arm movement, it's logical to give as much movement as possible to the lower arms to make up for it. The aforementioned magnets. The belt pouch that sits off centre. I will rectify this by pulling it off and drilling a new hole into the belt, in the correct position. The boots look nice but have no movement whatsoever.
I would have liked swappable faces on the helmeted head, similar to HT. I think i will pick up one of the Ganghood Rambo heads and try making it interchangeable, for a more neutral expression.
If the figure proves popular enough. maybe we'll get the bike or one of the Judge Hunters.

Got my Dredd today! I decided to mod this figure using the GangHood Muscular Body 1.0. I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Every piece of his outfit fit just fine however the belt just bearly went around his waist. The ganghood's lower feet were really skinny compared to the body that came with the figure, So I had to add some slight badding around that area.
I'm really impressed by this piece overall, and I'm glad I went for it.

Loving the changes to this figure. The body swap really adds to it . I don't have a suitable body to swap - can't find one so I'm going to Frankenstein one with some of the parts etc I have from various figure customs over the years.
shells075 You've really got a flair for this. What did you paint on the sculpt ?

Does anyone know where to buy some of the elastic used on this figure ? I'd like to put elastic on the knee pads Instead of the plastic straps .
Thanks.
I used some wood polish on the sculpt, just to give it that tanned grimy dirty look, just use a tiny amount on the neck and head with a small paint brush. I also mixed some black paint in water and carefully applied to his beard area to give him the 5 o'clock shadow look.
Yeah me to, the knee pads are a pain in the ass, always falling down.
I found this stuff on Ebay, you can choose the width, length etc.

Thank you. I've somehow managed to damage the belt when trying to remove the pouches. I'm going to have to make a new belt from a cable tie. Luckily the holster attachment is removable.

This figure really turned out great! All the pics have me looking forward to having it in hand in a week or so

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. You have the uncanny skill of making figures look alive.

The parts on the original would all be fixed separately, but I agree that it would be a cool feature to have.
I've been thinking about removing the epaulettes on the uniform so that the armour sits lower on the shoulders. This may allow the figure to hold the pistol facing up. It may also help the arms pose better downwards too.
