Bank Robber Joker/New Sculpt - PHOTO Thread

[usswanker]

Bingo! I tried this too and for whatever reason the collar STILL sits too high. I've since then put it back on.

SOOOOOO many layers

I did the same and it just didnt work. I put my jacket back on.

Not many want to say it because it's bad words about Hot Toys, but they just plain ^^^^ed up a bit on the coat, however they modeled the pattern for it, when it's placed on the figure, the collar will not rest in the proper location unless you use something to really pull the coat down in the front. That's why I'm open to an updated one at some point, proper purple color and better match in terms of collar and such to the film coat.

Looks like i'm not alone then

Well yeah it is true the collar is the issue at hand, everything else appears to fit "tailer made" I can live with it but would also be open to something better, that much I can admit.

I wouldn't mind if someone here (custom artists) took on the challenge to give us a more perfect trench.

I agree. I'd be happy for Hot Toys to do another version in the future that is movie accurate and features a smiling/laughing headsculpt. That would be ace.

I love my v.1 with BR headsculpt but it would be better if the v.1 was more movie accurate.

The collar of the purple coat hangs so much better without that inner suit jacket. With it on, it just adds bulk, and usually makes the purple coat collar hang on the shoulders, which looks so wrong.

 

[usswanker]

If they do a V3 they should include a better shirt and a purple jacket.

We've all seen the pics of the proto suit being put together. In those images the neck used was the long HT neck (ie the one the Bruce heads use). So I'm betting those are not as big as the sculpted Joker neck and I think that is why the collar ends up looking goofy. Just a thought.

Thats an awesome point, I never realized that from the proto.

I got sick of the Int Room paint job, so I redid it....it looks a bit messy in the photos, but to the naked eye, it looks decent.

 

[BXCOLLECTOR]

nice touch up

what kind of paint did you use

 

[CelticPredator]

Air Brush paint, and wal-mart paint.

Took more pics today, hope you enjoy them and lmk what you think.

Love the back of the box. so simplistic and classy:

I wonder if the v1 costume and all it's layers would look better on the narrower SS Promethius body...

I know, I know.... sacrilege. But it might work out pretty well...

I don't think so, the Joker has pretty broad shoulders. I can't even get the shoulders to look as defined as I want with the TT and the overcoat on, the Pro's shoulders are next to non existent.

He may look a little less stuffed though.

That sounds like a good idea, actually.

Thanks man, I'm also happy how the interrogation pics turned out. It's pretty hard working with only one desk lamp (besides the main lamp in the room, which is pretty dark though).


I also futzed the V1 suit today, used some double-sided tape on all the collars. I'm pretty satisfied with the look now, doesn't seem bulky at all IMO. Still contemplating if I should get a shirt and tie from BillyB though, as those are the only things that bother me a bit at the moment.

Those were some fantastic shots agonistes86

Best pic I have seen in along time!

For a complete newb, futzing?
