Hot Toy DX08 - BATMAN - The Joker (Jack Nicholson) - Specs & Pics

[BlitzOUT]

So getting this but skipping out on Bats. As I've said before, Returns bats is the only bats in my book (when referring to the classics)

The call came from Eric and I had to ask to have them shipped together

Painful that was.

You have to have Bats and Joker shipped together? Is that for Toys2 reasons or your own personal reasons?

If memory serves I ordered mine together but ideally I'd like to get Batman shipped ahead of Joker.

Am I Missing something as to why so many people are against ordering from sideshow?

 

[BlitzOUT]

You heard me.


Love your sig by the way. One of the greatest of 2011!

For anyone in CA, they have to pay high taxes that other people don't, retailers often offer cheaper pricing. Sideshow required a 10% deposit retailers didn't.

Sideshow isn't a cost efficient option, they're just quickest for getting these in the states, but lately, that's only if you order shortly after they post it for order, there are Sideshow direct customers still waiting for the 2nd wave of Batman.

OK, so the day shift is clearing out and the night shift is coming in... seems several people are dissatisfied by the sculpt. Is it really just the dark under the eyes or is there something missing from the sculpt? I'm trying to see what's wrong with it.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Nothing wrong with the sculpt as far as I can see. Looks the same as the proto.

Which looked AWESOMEEEEEE

 

[Voorhees27]

Well, I will say, the awesomeness that'll be in that package will equal the EB T-800 feeling, trust me

X2 It should be a helluva day.

I requested this. I dunno why, I just want them to ship together.

the luster has dwindled for this guy (for me) with all the 89 Bat delay nonsense. That said, I'll still keep my po but no hurry to get him.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I'm still in lusterland so mine should be here late next week.

what I like from the pictures is that all the accessories will make for endless posing possibilities. Unlike the DX01, which has a second figure, but only has the grenades and the card to pay with.

I have no idea what it is, whether its the sculpt, the paint, the lighting in photos so far, it just isn't screaming Jack Nicholson to me for some reason. My favourite shots are where the head is tilted back and the eyes looking down - that reminds me of 'ever dance with the devil in the.....' and a few other moments.

Sweet..... Perhaps more in hand pics will rebuild the luster.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm actually glad to see the grey tones around his eyes, I thought HT had missed this detail from the film, but seeing the in hand photos, it does seem that the camera needs specific conditions to show that or else it washes out and looks white.

I love the textruing in the face, it looks really cool on the proto and it looks like it translated well in production.

Not going to lie, that hat is bugging the ____ out of me

Sculpt is great though, yeah sure....few angles not 100% JN, but definately good enough for me.

But that hat

Did I mention the hat.

I think the criticisms come from two things, the lighting (as Maulfan stated) and the over exposure. No, not camera exposure, just the fact that we have really gotten a TON of pics of this guy before it even started to ship. I'd go as far as saying it's Hot Toys' most photographed/promoted figure so far, just wait until everyone gets theirs.

I mean, we saw this at SDCC, there were a ton of shots hi-res and low-res. You could literally see the enamel on his teeth. Then before the specs/pics came up, there was a picture frenzy from plastic enemies.

Gotta take into account that the great pics we got today from the first four or so collectors are super hi-res shots of the head, blown up a couple hundred percent on our computer screens. Of course it's going to appear different and you'll see molding lines. The images are as hi-res as they get. If you'll notice, the figure looks different depending on the photographer. OMG's has some pretty sinister looking shots, while others looks more like the proto, especially the out of box shots.

While I think they tweaked it a bit (the close ups make it look a little different to me, can't put my finger on it(, I think in person it's going to be as good or better than the feeling we all got from the initial prototype.

And, our favorite, usually shirtless guy, opening his.

I feel for him though, his has a paint rub on the forehead. Here's hoping that's a rare exception on the release.
