A bazillion years to glue a couple of cannons to a Judicator. Unbelievable.

A bazillion years to glue a couple of cannons to a Judicator. Unbelievable. Don't say that! PP might decide its not ready and return it to the shop.

The paint job really brings out the plastic in the model.

It's been since Feb 2015, but I'm still excited.

Y'all do realize that this is a sprue kit involving an entirely new production pipeline, logistics and paperwork, especially since it was probably made off shore? It may look the same but materials wise its different than the old white metal and resin Judicator.
By the Creator, if you don't like it then don't buy it.

Even with it being totally new territory for PP, the timeline is just way unacceptable. Any other company can, and they do, turn out plastic kits way more complex than the Judicator/Revelator kit in a small fraction of the time that PP did. PP's design process is glacially slow for the business, even with smaller companies with way fewer resources than PP does.

From what we can tell, something happened in the transition off-shore and the mold got all Firetrucked up.

I agree that the timeline is unacceptable, but they didn't spend all this time designing the model. It was probably an issue somewhere in the manufacturing that took this long to clear up and they can't really tell us about, maybe because of contracts, or legal obligation, or whatever. Same problems as with the Grolar and the Hydra. If they had the same issues now and this was a company policy thing, do you think we'd have gotten the new Ret releases, the Sea King, and other new models this quick?

If it is anything like the Retribution Helios/Hyperion kit then it will be well worth the wait.
The plastic is so much better than the mixed metal/resin kits they have been doing.
The head looks kind of weird though. Looks like Voltron or something
Maybe it is just the lighting and crappy pic quality, but if not, that has to be one of the most lackluster studio paint jobs I have ever seen

Yes, the Farrow Meat Thresher was very easy to assemble for it's size and quantity of parts. The wheel itself was a bit awkward, trying to make 4 separate pieces into a perfect circle, but nonetheless came together easily. If this is the same plastic, we should be ecstatic!

From what we can tell, something happened in the transition off-shore and the mold got all Firetrucked up. That doesn't explain why every single one of the HIPS plastic models had insane delays to release. Also, even if you had an accident set you back, at most that should delay you a few months. So at most such a thing should have tacked on 2-3 months on a 6 month or so process. Not take ~2 years. PP has generally always had an extremely long time period between model design and model release. It's obviously something internal with them.
