Denix Webley WG

IJJTM · Post by **IJJTM** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 4:18 am

Denix is currently taking votes for what guns they should make next, the Webley WG is currently at around 130 or so, the more votes it gets the more likely Denix is to take a crack at recreating it.

Voted!

Superb! I'd love to see a Denix version of the WG...That would smash it!

Don't forget to vote Webley Green instead of Webley MK6 because there is minor difference.

Voted! Thanks for the heads up!

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 7:31 am

Voted.

The S&W Bapty is also on the list. Voted for it as well.

Same.

Although I searched "Webley" and noticed there's a "Webley Army WG" and a "Webley WG". Is the grip color the only difference? The "Army WG" is LC accurate, correct? I voted for both, but I'm curious.

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 9:43 am

There are several Webley WG on the list, apparently every suggestion gets added to the list without any cross referencing. It looks like one has a silver finish and there are two different grip colors, but those are all pictures that were submitted by users, not Denix, so any one of them won't necessarily be the final product/finish based solely on the survey.

As so which is most SA to LC, I don't have the expertise nor eye to know. To my knowledge the 1889 is the correct gun, not the 1890 that is also listed.

I tried to vote from different devices too to bump up the numbers, but that didn't work. I voted by phone, but when I followed the link on my laptop the survey showed I already voted.

Looking at the top 10 it seems like the WWI and WWII reenactor groups are out in force for rifles of the period.

Indiana Jeff

I'm no expert either, but I agree the 1889 seems more familiar.

According to the IMDFB (https://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=I ... Army_Model), Webley WG Army Model is correct for LC.

I just voted for all 3, I accidentally added the one with the brown grips not knowing about the search function at first. The brown grip version was used in a few scenes in Last Crusade and the picture is from prop store.

I'm guessing the SW community has something to do with this too as several of those appears as various blasters in the series.

Interesting, I didn’t know those guns were bases for SW weapons.

Wow! That’s great!

And the Bapty is tied for 2nd!

I’m not worried about which finish. Denix already offers different finishes on the same model of gun so if they do make a Webley, I’m sure they will offer it in silver and blue finishes.

Indiana Jeff

That's great to hear. I truly hope that Indy guns win.

voted on the Bapty and Webley as well.

I have a Denix Colt Navy Revolver for my MWNN cosplay and bought it from Amazon years ago. I don’t remember if it was from Amazon directly or from a seller.

I don’t think Denix sells directly to the public.

I read on the website they wholesale only.
Maybe Todd’s Costumes can get an account. He’s sold other guns before.

bearbeast · Post by **bearbeast** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 1:53 pm

Well, I don't know about the US, but around the EU you can find them online in a lot of places. Denix doesn't sell directly, but there are a lot of retailers that are distributors, I mean...

The Webley and Bapty are holding strong and pulling away in 1st and 2nd. (I may be obsessively checking the poll.)

IJJTM · Post by **IJJTM** » Wed Mar 19, 2025 4:18 pm

My best guess is they may have thought the vote was botted. They’re still on there since people wrote them in multiple times though, so we can still vote for them again.

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Wed Mar 19, 2025 8:59 pm

What?!

Neither gun was that far ahead of #3 that I would think they were artificially elevated. It's not like each got 10,000 votes and #3 had 1,000.

Maybe Denix pulled them because they already made the decision to produce them and are now seeing what other guns rise to the top spots.

Received this reply from Denix when I questioned their reset of the vote:

Clarification on Vote Count for Suggested Replicas

Dear friends and fans,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us and for your enthusiasm in supporting the production of the Smith & Wesson from Indiana Jones and the Webley WGreplicas.

We would like to clarify that our voting system allows one vote per IP addressfor replicas that are already listed in our voting section. As for new replica suggestions, they can be proposed only once, and if the model is already included in our system, additional suggestions are not counted as votes. To actively vote for a model, it is necessary to use the designated voting button.

We deeply appreciate the support you and your community are showing for these models. We would love to feature your campaign on our blog to recognize your dedication. If you would like to share photos of your reenactment group, we would be delighted to dedicate a post highlighting your efforts to promote these iconic replicas.

Additionally, we encourage you to register any of your reenactment events on our DENIX FRIENDLY POINTS MAP, where history enthusiasts can discover and participate in your activities.

Once again, we sincerely appreciate your commitment and interest in our historical replicas. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

lantzn · Post by **lantzn** » Thu Mar 20, 2025 1:37 pm

The Bapty is up to 79 with only 69 votes. This one did not have my vote, even though I had voted for the ones that ended up being in the #2 spot.

It has my vote now. You guys might want to double check for your vote. Search Bapty

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Thu Mar 20, 2025 8:17 pm

Thank you for reaching out to Denix to see what happened.

That's super frustrating that they allow for multiple entries of the same model of guns to be listed and then cut the top vote earners because people voted for more than one entry. That's not at all clear on the website.

Oh well, both the Webley and the Bapty are rising through the ranks in voting so I'm still encouraged.

Regards,

Indiana Jeff

lantzn · Post by **lantzn** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 1:39 am

I don’t believe it, someone just added another Webley identical to the one that’s now in 11th place. It’s the same gun only the flip side. They also misspelled it as “Weblwy” which is taking away from votes.

I think it’s a plot by those Star Wars cosplayers once again treating their LFL brother dirty.

The Webley is already back to #5.

The Bapty isn’t rising as fast.

One would hope that all votes were reviewed by Denix and held to the same standard.

Post by **Indiana Jeff** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 3:52 pm

Agreed that one Webley quickly rose to the top, then was cut and is now again quickly rising. Obviously there is interest. Certainly from the Indy community, but there are many military reenactors who would love to have a Webley reproduction.

Indiana Jeff

The thing unique about the Webley WG Army model is that it was not an official British service revolver. It was a commercial version available for private purchase by British military officers. The “WG” is for Webley Government not Webley Green, which is often seen.

And who doesn’t love that bird head grip?

The Webley Mk IV and Vi models were the ones issued for service, which is why we probably see replicas of these available.

I watch this thread, because I’d love either the Webley or the Bapty.

But that gun case is epic.
I know my next woodworking project $\:D/$
I have a Rook Webley, and that’ll be a sweet way to display it.

I’ve got a Rook and that very thought has crossed my mind every time I see this gun in my Photos from 2008 when I saw it at an online auction. It doesn’t get anymore mint then this.

I’m seeing the Webley in 4th (not as good as 1st, but not bad considering it started over).

The two Bapty listings are there at 41 and 70, but didn’t climb nearly as well as the Bapty that got scrubbed.

Really cool about the Webley, has got a chance of being made.

But about the Bapty, that's a grand shame... I guess I've got to wait some more for a nice metal replica to become available. I am still hoping Denix just took it out and are considering making it.
