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

[TheFiend]

Props for totally out of the blue T2 quote.

I thought I was the only one that picked that up

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think the Bank Robber Joker looks more like Heath Ledger than this looks like Jack Nicholson.

Yeah, who the ____ is that standing next to Batman?

Unfortunitely the trencher wasn't made big enough to fit over the tail coat. It has to be removed first then the trencher can go on and it's still snug. Too snug. It actually should bulk him up a bit more than it does.

And for that, I've now lost a bit of wow about this figure. Don't get me wrong, I still think it looks great and can't wait to get mine, but, until hearing this, I was initially impressed that HT pulled of him wearing all the layers and looking so nice. I'm still impressed by Jack Sparrow's layer so I assumed they did it again. Hearing that they sort of cheaped on with Joker takes a way some of the impressiveness as far as HT's abilities demonstrated by the figure.

Not too sure about the pants but I always thought Jack had them pulled slightly higher than normal in the film and the pant legs hang in such a way that they didn't bunch at the ankles.

Yeah, he had a bit of an old man thing going on with how high his pants were. If he had suspenders he'd look like a clown Steve Urkel.

He looks great in coco's pics.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So we have never seen a picture of the overcoat over the jacket?

Nice shot Coco!

How is the arm movement through either coat, is it easy, I hated the DX01 when you moved the arms the Coat would raise to much, making him look like the coat doesn't fit right.

In hand, does the neck seem to long to you, or is it just the way you have to futz with the collar.

Also in your honest opinion, does he look better w or w/o the hat.

Thanks! I think the arm movement is slightly restrictive in the trencher and better in the tail coat.
The neck is a tiny bit too long but not really any different from many other figures. If you futz the shirt a bit it'll take care of it.
I like the hat look. Always have. But honestly it depends on the pose you have him in. I do think however that HT should have included hat hair and non-hat hair like they did with Thor and Odin. It would have made a world of difference. As is without the hat his hair is simply too flat on the sides to match how it looked on film.

"Heavenly lord. Best in-hand pics yet.

Love the "hat's-off" pose!


I don't mind the hat (though I would be curious to see a custom made), and I know I'm gonna love this figure.

Thanks, Mags! The hat? It's actually decent. At least mine is. I don't like the material it's made out of. Makes it less futzable but it can be made to look much better than most pics show.

Jokes is about to get wopped with a rang.



I think the hat looks good here. Such a great figure.

Better be sure.

Such a great figure.

You can make a good decision when you try.

And i know i'm gonna love the poses you gonna do with this figure.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Coco, are there any magnets involved with this figure?

Some of OMG's pics give the impression that the cane and even the money is somehow held in place with magnets.

Nope. No magnets on this one.

And for that, I've now lost a bit of wow about this figure.

I know exactly how you feel. I was really disappointed but at least you can get a few good poses with the trencher even though he's not layered properly.

So we have never seen a picture of the overcoat over the jacket?

If they were able to I don't know how they did it. I could barely get it on over the jacket and when I did the arms couldn't move and there was no way I was going to get it buttoned in front.

 

[MaulFan]

It definitely won't impact my enjoyment of the figure at all, it just takes away from how I feel about what HT can do, after getting Jack Sparrow, this movie seems like a step back in the tailoring department. I don't think doing the trench big enough to go over it all would bulk it too much. Then again, who knows, maybe they tried and licensing didn't and made them figure out a different solution.

Thanks for answers Coco, I want to take some action shots of my BD Bats punching him, so I have to do it w/o the hat, wish he did have the extra exposed hair as you said, but I guess I will have to make due. Still think these two will be off the hook when I display them together.

That's the kicker right there. It's that it could've and should've been made bigger. Not only would it have made it fit over the jacket but it would have looked more screen accurate as well. It's more of a head scratcher to me than anything else on the figure.

I think HT saw that even their revised coat for DX01 Joker, people still saw flaw in it and comissioned custom ones. I think they tried this time around to get the sharpness of the coats and didn't worry much if you can layer him. Plus, unlike Jack Sparrow, Joker's layers aren't exposed, so shortcut is to just make swappable coats. You might know the tail coat was underneath, but you'd never see it so why worry about making you be able to layer it.

 

[guyver1]

I can live with swapping the coats, since I realized he didn't have the over coat on during the fight scene with Bats, So I can get somewhat close to the movie with some action shots.

Damn, that's beautiful.

And i know i'm gonna love the poses you gonna do with this figure.

And I'm gonna love the comic strips you're gonna make with this figure!

Nope. No magnets on this one.

Interesting. OMG much have used some kind of trick to get the money and cane to stay in place in some of his pics.

 

[Guinnessfan]

Awesome pics coco...Joker looks amazing, sucks to hear about the tench coat though, but its still amazing looking.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I'll have to look at OMG's pics again but there's nothing out of the ordinary with the cane or money. It's all plastic and the bills are simple paper 100's, lots of them too.

Thanks, Guiness!

 

[Batty]

Great pics, Coco.

It's going to be a long wait for me.

I wish I could have seen this movie on the big screen.

I did...three times.


I'm old.

 

[jye4ever]

Me 2.

 

[Batty]

Me 2.

But we did get to see a lot of great movies on the big screen when we were young.
