So who's going to bid on Dredd props

[The Prop Stop]

Well if whoever is going to make boots cuts me a deal on making the opposite one I would be happy to provide it to them...Im the antimatter to Matt Munson.

 

[Max Replica]

Thanks Tardis. I'll keep that in mind! (I might be involved with making the boots - at least the boot alteration and customization part, not the hardware fabrication).
Are you on the Dragon Con Dredd fb group where most of the costume sourcing and replication discussion has been happening?
Part of the issue right now is finding the perfect base boot to work off of since that will be cheaper than having them custom-made from scratch. Finding out exactly how tall that female boot is could help in the search.

i won one of the magnetic door mines today! i couldnt be happier! its my first production used item, and its like triple christmas!

 

[The Prop Stop]

To be honest I think it has the manufacturer name on base.

It's not all custom... I don't believe that for a second.

Once we know the brand we have it.

All that's on the sole of the boot I saw was a two letter logo and 'oil and liquid proof' in German.

Maybe not. Shoe soles often have a manufacturers name on them (like Vibram) but that is just the sole's manufacturer, it has nothing to do with the boot. Theatrical Shoemakers in the UK did the boots, and theirs are usually full custom (though sometimes based on an existing brand).

I've seen different brand soles on the auction boots. The boots were custom.

Theatrical Shoemakers - a selection from our extensive range of theatrical, dance, fashion and entertainment shoes and boots.>

 

[The Prop Stop]

Well I have to say I'm surprised. These must have been very expensive then. That list on there site of stuff they worked on is amazing!

 

[JUDGE BLACK]

Well everything on the uniforms are custom bespoke, why skimp on the boots?

 

[The Prop Stop]

Well lets not forget this was a cheaper movie to make. It's just the deeper you go sometimes its interesting how things turn out

The dredd boots on my 95 for instance were 1994 sidi motircycle boots with gold tape added.

Well I almost got to bid on a slo mo inhaler before it tripled in price at the last 3 seconds.

Insane prices on this auction. Least the movie had a lotta fans.

If the same amount of people had gone to the cinema to see it, as are now buying DVDs/blu-rays, we'd be in sequel territory. Dredd needed the double-dip.

They probably had to cut corners after paying huge fees like Stallone's $14 million to play the part.

A member of the Dredd costume facebook page has made some enquiries about getting new boots from Theatrical Shoemakers, who made the originals:


Guys, I guess I'll be handling the boot situation if that's okay. The original company that made the boots for the film can make us the BASE boot only. No armor or extras added. This is the interest list only so I can guage how many to tell the boot company we may have. Feel free to add yourself. I have no prices yet until Monday. I will ask if they will add the suede pieces to the boot.

Personally, I am saddened they don't have that one dudes wig.

From the scene with the phone booth, he was the first guy to pop out and shoot.

That was an awesome wig.

Haha, finally got around to watching Dredd last night and as great as it was, that was the one thing that stuck with me the most. Right up there with the guy in the bad wig in Drive Angry.
I wish more films would utilize the bad wig department.
Think how much more accepted Prometheus would be if Janek had that wig.

 

[hydin]

:lol

I typed "Dredd wig guy" into google images, and damned if he isn't one of the top results.

I'd have paid many of dollars for that wig guys. Potentially it could have went for more than a lawgiver or even Dredd's armor.

[Skor]

Just received my item! Chuffed to bits with it to be honest.


Also, bonus score of some delightfully worn socks that I was unaware of. I haven't dared look inside the trousers yet, just in case...

 

[paulcarson]

wow ! Screen used socks. Cool . :lol

Can't wait to see some pics from you.

 

[Uridium]

I've been trying on a few of the auctions but they seem to skyrocket in the last few seconds. Ebay can be so frustration sometimes.

Last item I am interested in ends tonight so fingers crossed.
