It's 3 mil for his rights I heard.

The crazy thing is Beast Kingdom was able to make a figure of him a couple years ago . I wonder if they found a loop hole to be able to make one with his likeness even though the sculpt looked a little like a shrunken down DX08. It’s hard to believe that they could afford his likeness rights yet they do mention him by name in their product description of the figure. I wouldn’t imagine they could do that if they didn’t have his likeness rights.

Honestly I doubt they legally got Jack’s likeness rights. They straight-up bootlegged a DX08 head for it, and I really doubt Beast Kingdom could afford his likeness rights.

Beast Kingdom makes licensed products though. Not sure if they paid up for Nicholson’s likeness or what.
Like @Mike86 mentioned, Beast Kingdom makes officially licensed products, so I don't think they could get away with a bootleg. They would have to get approval from someone in WB's licensing department to have then signed off on the production of that figure. Could be a scale thing.

That little Beast Kingdom Nicholson is awesome. I got two for $60 from BBTS sale.
Love him.
There isn’t a lot of Nicholson Joker collectibles out there, but the ones that exist are very, very nice. Love them and hope to see more.

A quick question for you guys, would you rather pull the trigger for DX08 or wait for a future rerelease/remake or something new? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out if waiting is the best choice in this case
The DX08 remains one of HT's high water marks. You can't go wrong with getting it. It's an outstanding figure.
You just have to decide what your price is for this character.

It's doubtful we'll see a re-release or 2.0. Here's the thing-- HT spent a lot on the likeness rights and overproduced the two figures to a point where they were an abundance for years. While the collecting scene has certainly changed and we're not privy to the licensing deal, I still don't see them spending money on paying Nicholson again. Remember, he's not not cheap and he got the deal of the century by taking in a sizable chunk of box office and merch profits of the 89 movie.
On a sidenote, I have one for sale so anyone looking for one hit me up!

We would have had it by now.
With how other companies seem to be pursuing Returns (particularly Catwoman), I'd say we have a better shot at HT finally making her before another Jack. Especially since rumor is that a Returns Batman 2.0 is currently in the works at HT.

I futzed his tie a bit to try and straighten up the 'flying V'.
Was afraid to mess too much since my original Mars MAT002 came with a wonky tie, which after attempting to fix eventually got wrecked. Hence I was glad that Mars created the option to turn the original figure into the Museum version
