Don’t mean to resurrect the dead....or the Death as in this case, but I’ve luckily just picked up the regular edition of Judge Death for $150! I was shocked and felt lucky as hell to get him for that. He arrived yesterday and I got to open him this morning and he’s perfect. No broken pieces. His paint is also immaculate. My question is are there any tips and tricks to get him seated properly in the base. It almost seems as the peg for the left foot is 1/8” too long. Is there a tip or trick to it? I don’t want to force it because of how thin his legs are and I surely don’t want to have something give and the foot slams down and he ends up breaking a claw. So I figured I’d ask you guys to see if anyone knows. Thanks in advance! Jase
Will do. I’ll take some this week when I’m off. I’m a big DREDD geek from the 80’s, you can find my reviews on YouTube (Marshall Made Collectibles) of the 1/3 DREDD and the Comic version 1/4 plus I’ve posted pics here of the Karl Urban Comic color by PCS...which I repainted/weathered the base.

A lot of PCS older pieces came like this and you just had to spread their legs a bit to put them in. It does feel like you could break them though (and you probably could so be careful).
Got him in. Was really nervous about spreading the legs...besides I didn’t want to lead him on...so I filed the peg hole with flat micro file. Just a little around all four sides. It gave just enough wiggle room to get the statue flat footed...not perfect but close enough to it where he doesn’t appear to be pulling some levitation trick. He looks amazing and the fact he was $150 still knocks me out! Also him flanking the PCS Comic Dredd looks incredible. Miss not having the exclusive, but thrilled to just own him.
