Awesome fig, though I can't wait for my 1/6 collection to begin courtesy of the Dark Artist!

Now thats one i hope HT would do,i really want a Police Joker

Is it just me, or does that look like a weird Dane Cook?

I have no doubt that this is absolutely true.

I guess it's something that as I'm getting older and feel myself drawn to 'quality over quantity' and would rather have one excellent 12" figure than a wave of 'pretty good' 6" figures, it feels more like a collectible and less like a toy. There's also the space saving aspect. And there's certainly been a lot of properties that finally interested me pop up recently...my first 12" figures were the LOTR ones. Plus the ever increasing level of quality you can get, especially from folks like Hot Toys. Where as before, 12" figures sorta seemed like a totally separate arena of toy collecting, they didn't look that great..the clothes were dumpy and the sculpts were soft and cheap looking, now they feel like the ultimate achievement in 'toy' manufacturing. The high-quality tailoring, the sculpts and paint, articulation...it's like having a mini-character sitting on your shelf and less like a doll.

So now I find myself wanting to pick up every Indiana Jones figure, the new Hellboy figure, all the Dark Knight figures...and that's not even considering going back to see what I might've missed from Hot Toys. I'm scared.

I need a new job, one of those fancy, high-falutin' six-figure jobs.

Dont' we all dude.... don't we all.
I feel your pain.

With money how it is at the minute for everyone too it adds even more pressure. The easiest way to stay alive in this hobby is forums like this.
Great deals always pop up in the for sale section.
Its just best to be very selective. Even though I am never selective.

Just think of which movie , game or whatever you like the most , collect those and then is you can afford the rest get em.

About the little 7-8 inch figures too. I used to have a huge collection of them , I sold them all as soon as I recieved my first hot toys figure.
They look like Mcdonalds toys in comparison.

I've purchased everything except the original costume batman since I had the takara but I'm gonna get the original suit too. I want the full line up .
Do you have any hot toys figures ?. If you don't you will realise straight away why there prices are so high. Their attention to detail is astonishing.
I think all the figures are well worth the price and to represent the joker the best way possible you need both anyway.
BUY THEM ! STARVE FOR A MONTH ! DO WHAT YOU MUST !.

I do not own any Hot Toys figures, though I've been watching them for a while and have no doubt that they're offerings are head and shoulders above just about everyone else. I can certainly understand the price, it's definitely not a case of balking at what appears to be an outrageous price tag.

I'd be happy to starve for a month, the biggest obstacle would be trying to explain them to the girlfriend.

LOTRFan will look up and shout ...." DA , is that my figure yet ? "

And DA will whisper .... " No ".




Sorry couldn't resist.

All good advice...I'm definitely begin selective so far..it took LOTR for me to finally take the plunge and purchase any, and I only collected LOTR until Indiana Jones. As impressive as some 12" figures are, I knew that I couldn't buy them as casually as 6" action figures. But it's not my fault if some of my favorite franchises are now getting the 1/6 treatment!

I also definitely plan on selling some of my action figures, I couldn't lose all of them, but there are certainly a few series of figures that I wouldn't mind parting with. Which would be nice to get some space and to make some money I wouldn't feel bad about putting towards 12" figures.

well , whatever you choose to do I hope it goes well !.
Welcome to your wallets worst nightmare !!!

I really judge figures on what they are, not as a whole.

I collect Hasbro 3/4 inches, and Hot Toys' stuff. Love them both....and they all fit well within each other.

i've been wondering
looking through countless photos of the film

does the Joker's vest collars go all around the neck?
or do they cut off once they reach the purple backing of the vest?

 

[darthviper107]

From what I can tell they go completely around, it's completely green even on the back, and to me it looks like it's sewn to the vest on the top of the shoulder where the back and front panels are connected.

that's what i was kinda thinking too
i see some pics where it may be sewn that way, but you can barely see it since Ledger's hair was covering the back of the neck

i'm thinking of having the backing of the Hot Toys one replaced with the backing of DCD's own vest

haha so agree, i knew it, just couldnt put my finger on it

 

[Voorhees27]

Holy Shat!My Joker was sendt from Toys 2 26th,sendt out of canada the 27th,and allready arrived Norway today and cleared customs,1 day overseas???God damn,i didnt even ask for the fastest shipping method.Seems like mine will be here tomorrow.

Unreal indeed! Eric STILL hasn't shipped mine out yet! Oh well maybe next week then. No complaints anyway it will be the very last piece I will buy for a very long time. Taking a long break.

Yep, you're correct. Best example I have:

Here are some of the images I just took

Im treating the fig more like a fashion model, cos lots of ppl have already posted great action shots of this figure.

Anyway heres a little before & after photoshop. My Joker headsculpt has a ugly white spot at his eye.

A little use of the photoshop clone stamp too, and viola!!! its gone...

Laslty, while I was happily taking pics of the Joker....
I realised one thing....the ammo clip/magazine was missing from the mk760!!!

I seem to have bad luck with Hot Toys figures all the time.

RE4 Leon has missing fingers
Ver1 Joker has missing socks
And now Bank Robber has missing ammo clip!!!
