I do think the SST Exosuits were original Mongoose concepts so I don't really see too much fault with recycling them (other than the inevitaby loud whingeing about the fact they are recycled) as they were indeed rather spiffy models. Tho am not sure if the JD comics actually have anything quite like that so that's a bit of a departure.

I've not seen the Holocaust Judges in action in the comics yet, the only one i've read they were inside a vehicle so you can't see their gear. I think its fine recycling OOP lines miniatures as long as they look Dreddy...I'm sure it's cheaper than getting a whole new sculpt, which means they can use that money on other stuff.

You know if this is the standard of models coming up I may just have to dig out my old set again and blow the dust off the perps....
I really like the Dredd fig, and as I only bought the SST Exosuits last year (very nice too) I have no problem getting a few more (but different colour scheme of course
)

As it turns out, oddly enough my prediction about whingeing didn't come about either, at least not on The Miniatures Page. Either I shouldn't apply for the JREF challenge or else the Mongoose haters didn't even bother to comment any more :mrgreen:GMAN said:
I just thought it might be worth saying a bit of feedback i've got from new players recently. I've got a bunch of people interested in playing who have a bit of knowledge of Dredd and like the whackiness of the background and the game.
But what keeps coming up, and putting them off getting their gangs now is the lack of variety in the miniatures...This is mostly aimed at the Apes, as i have two people interested in playing them but want to hold off until more chimps are available as they are the more common troop type and are not easy to buy proxy minis. Same has been mentioned about the human gangers and juves, although these are a lot easier to get proxies for.
I know there were more chimps, gangers and even an odd of undercity/ cursed earth ganger that havent been released yet, but thought this feedback is worth bringing up as the release of the PDF gets closer incase you're looking at what people have mentioned they want to see come out.
On another note, i have some one whos happy with the mix and match fatties and another who likes the range of Judges, so theyre all set...Although none of us are sure why Street Judges and PSI Judges costs the same amount in the force list :?

This will be corrected in the next few weeks as we bring the rest of the 'classic' models back online, along with some brand new bits and pieces!

Well sweetness! It's about time! I've been drooling for the past two months waiting for more figures, and it's been radio silence.
I will check the planet mongoose stuff right away (have to find it first) to look at the new fig plans...cool!
(goes and checks)
WOW! Dredd looks phenomenal! Can't wait for more justice department figs! Especially Judges on Lawmasters.

Just to let you know, the PDF is just about done, and is just awaiting a few more tweaks. Expect it next week!

While I don't have much need for them, I will say I think they are some of the best-looking figures I've seen from Mongoose.
Ah, thanks very much. And wow, I have to agree, those Angel Gang minis are amazing. Much better than practically all the old range.viper1 said:
The Dredd looks okay but it's hard to tell at this green stage. The frothers-unite website has a couple of painted pics and it looks better, but still not great.
Foundry have just announced that their 2000AD miniature range are now available in value packs.
