[ATV1396]

My neck hurts can you fix your pic? Those look great from what i can see. Happy dogs who just ate their owners (Mob guys) " Chop you up and feed you to your pups. We'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is."

I had 2 rotties for Joker back in the day, but they were small

Fixed it

No problem. It is, thats why i went with 2 standing instead lol. Maybe later ill get a sitting one but for now im happy with what i got.

The sitting version is more expensive.

Duh, it obviously would take more time to train them.

Finally managed to get some time to open up my rooted version, this is straight out of the box and no fussing with the hair yet.

It happened again today. I dreamed that I was part of a mercenary team and we were on a mission to retrieve a large amount of money and one deluxe inart joker. But everybody started to turn on each other and I was the last one alive. I killed the last person and escaped on a plane with my payment and my Inart jokor

I finally got my shipping notification from toyswonderland. Good luck to those who are still waiting!

Can someone confirm if these 2 are exactly identical or if there is one specific for each arm?View attachment 640523

@Kit Chen

Hope you don’t mind asking. Do you think you will have more rooted hair deluxe available or are all preorders already paid for?

 

[Mike86]

It seems like quite a few people are selling the different versions of this figure in various groups on Facebook. Wondering if some are having buyers remorse or are just wanting to cash in while it’s still a hot item.

Is there an L or R on either? Otherwise, they're probably the same.

More like people are making a few hundred bucks on a figure that isn't widely available. Are there even any stores right now that has the figure in stock? If ever.

I’m just saying I’ve seen a lot more for sale than I expected to. Also while people are making some profit it’s not as much as I would think.

A lot of figures when they sell out pretty much double when they’re hot. This has been a couple to a few hundred more mostly.

For a figure that’s so in demand I’m surprised it’s not going for more.

Times have changed. I expect many collectibles to devalue over the next year. The process has already started.

I feel like my spouse has devalued me, so why not figures made of plastic. I am flesh and blood, goddamit.

I feel the rooted deluxe is pretty much hard to resell at a higher price given how expensive it already is at retail. Those that wanted it but couldn't shell out back then will most likely won't buy a brand new set in the secondary market. However, I do think if it's parted out, more people are willing to spend for one rooted Jokor plus whatever accessories are included.

 

[xXJ0kerXx1]

certain guys on FB groups have been able to sell the deluxe set for 1600-1700

 

[Gowithasmile!]

After all this and i still have to wait another 2 months for mine i really want this figure, I've got a simple but effective light set up that i really want take some photos of this guy with.

Yea I’ve seen parts sell for pretty good money recently. The jail dio itself for around $250 and I think I saw a rooted head by itself for about $500 or so

Anyone know what this guy is saying? Best futzing job I’ve seen by a mile for sure. He dissects the base to get to the metal plates, widening them so the actual figure can have a wider stance, and also weathers up the weapons. Unsure if there are other mods he did as well.

I’ve attempted the ‘widening the magnets in the base’ mod today and, quite frankly, I’m disgusted by how overly simple that video made it seem.

The first issue was simply how to get into it. I should have looked for this video before starting. You peel the underside sticker off to reveal the screws holding it together.
I was trying to just pry the bottom off for ages like a monkey, scuffing up parts unnecessarily.

Right- the mod.
I now assume he was using some sort of heated scalpel because he sliced through that plastic like butter. A regular scalpel/exacto knife does not work anywhere near as well.
Also, he had the ease of being able to simply pop off the cover of the magnet compartment; my magnets were glued firmly in place- from both sides- so I had to switch to a dremel and basically just shred through and melt all the plastic to shave it off of the magnets. Sparks were flying.

I wish mine looked like this.

Then you’re stuck with the issue of the magnet being glued from the top to the underside of the street part of the base.

The magnets are also slightly recessed with another little rim of plastic around them so you can’t slice under the magnet to pry them off or forcefully slide them out without first shaving away a load more plastic- but there’s only about 3/4 mm of plastic to play with so you have to be very careful.
You can chisel or dremel. I dremeled. Ultimately I ended up having to get a large screwdriver and hammer it at the magnet to dislodge it from the glue. I chipped the first magnet in a couple places. This thing required genuine violence to move it.

Finally, with access to the bare plastic, I could carve out the ‘slide path’ for the magnet by digging a shallow trench. This is where I dremelled a smidge too far and ended up poking a hole through the damn thing. Twice.

Oops.
Pretty devastating but I’ve patched it up and will paint it well enough to not be too bothered. Joker’s feet will be standing over that bit so it would only be an issue if I ever resell. Not planning that any time soon.

So, to get the magnet placed a decent distance out, you also need to cut through one of the vertical supports that screw into the lower half of the base.
You can see here before I made the call to cut.

I want a notably wide ‘HIT ME’ stance so went all out and cut through that support. It’s still per early functional so worth doing.

After all that pain, I at least knew what to expect so got through the second cover more efficiently but there’s no escaping the sheer brutality necessary to get the magnet out when it’s super mega glued in place.

Here’s where I’ve set my magnets and I’ve slapped some apoxy resin around the outskirts to stop them dropping out.

I thought this would be a quick slice & slide job and I’d be setting up my full costume Joker, at last this weekend.
This mod ended up taking a few hours so robbed me of the time I’d allotted to actually enjoying the figure. Till next weekend, I guess.
