Bapty Indy Smith and Wesson 1917 by Denix?

[PoopaPapaPalps]

Bapty needs to stay at the no. 1 spot. Come on, men! Put some effort into it!

 

[Psab keel]

Agreed. Though I suspect they may be making more than one model.

 

[molasses flood]

Yeah I'm wondering if it's the top 5.

 

[Psab keel]

I wrote Denix with some questions and they responded back right away and while they aren't at liberty to reveal which models are being considered for 2025, it's evident that there is more than one, which is really exciting. Production time is averaged at 9 months, though that will change depending on which is being made, the quantities manufactured, and any design requirements that might affect the process. I told Jaime (the person who responded from Denix) that they may hear from lots of Indy fans as this poll really has them pumped for the possibility. So we have some answers to a few of the questions on a lot of collectors minds. I'm confident that the demand is great enough worldwide among the Indy community as well as historical collectors for the S+W and Webley to have a real chance of being produced. I think we ought to keep those numbers climbing as best we can to help express the overwhelming demand.

I grabbed one of Todd's Indy S&Ws when he offered them a few years ago so for me, I want that bird's head grip Webley. Hoping they do both for the ones that don't have an M1917. Looks like they're both a shoo-in!

Edit: I'm probably getting another M1917 if it ends up nicer than the Todd's/Tanaka.

Just checked this morning and they both appear to have disappeared from the list, if you search for them they now have a lot fewer votes?

I have done my duty and voted for the Bapty

Weird. I just checked it too. Regardless of the polling they're well aware of the demand for both those pistols. What doesn't make sense is that the poll is open ended with no finish date and when you factor in the approximate 9 month production time, it won't be until nearly 2026 before the 2025 models are released. The waters are further muddied by having the same pistols entered into the poll more than once.

I hope they make these. It would fill a long overdue void in a lot of people's collections.

 

[Dr Jones Sr]

I want this.

 

[Solo]

Nobody interested in this? I know it's a Denix, but if the price was right.

Denix Canada had to close its doors because of Bill C-21 voted by the Liberals not long ago. As to get replicas from Denix U.S.A.?
Good luck trying to get through Canadian Customs

 

[Chris92]

I want this.

That's the same Webley used in Last Crusade, that I tried very hard to get to the top of the list, and succeeded, but then Denix removed it for "too many votes". (Although, it is back up to #4 now.)

 

[DutchNibbles]

Voted. The Bapty is quite far down the list now

 

[PHArchivist]

I need this!

 

[DutchNibbles]

There’s quite a few other film related weapons listed to vote for too:

Morita rifle from Starship Troopers
Golden Gun from The Man with the Golden Gun
Pulse Rifle
Robocop Auto-9
Mutt’s knife from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I’m sure there are others I forgot.

Thanks for posting voted on a bunch.
