Well, I'm buying this figure, I prefer the meatier look to the body as well as the head sculpt. I always had qualms with the half Ledger/half ideal sculpt of V1. It was still leaps and bounds over DCD's luke warm offerings.
But this just knocks it right out of the park. I did a side by side comparison of a still fo the Joker pulling off the mask and the figure doing so and she said the movie still was the figure. I guffawed when I told her which was which.
I'm going to have to resort to gathering the V1 costume/hands/knife from ebay or somewhere else if I can. But can you believe that assortmen, I have a sawed off shotgun (though it be a double barrel as opposed to the one actually used), but these offerings just push it right up into the only two figures I'm buying this year category.
Which are as follows:
1. TDK Bank Robbery Joker
2. TDK Batman (New Uniform)
My yearly budget for such figures is about $500-800, last year my Enterbay Bruce ate up my budget, got him for $489 (after shipping). And these two will take care of that. Though if I can scrimp and save up enough for the Bat-Pod then I'm going to be having a great year 1:6th wise.
BTW, this is my first post and I'd like to say hello, formally, to all the regulars.
