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

[Bizzitty]

There are times that I LOATHE signature confirmation that SS puts on packages over a certain price...Now I'll be waiting until tomorrow for him....GRRRRRR

 

[Wor-Gar]

There should be a lot more pics of Joker up here by now.

What happened? Did Joker really sell so little in comparison to Bats? Or are people less enthralled by the Joker figure from HT with its apparent problems?

 

[Maglor]

No kidding. More Pics!

I don't feel like looking through the entire thread. That are the issues people are seeing with this?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm not sure there's a consistency of a single problem or two but there has been a lot of different issues mainly with the outfit:

On the clothing: ill-cut tailoring on the tie and lapels of the jacket, bad stitching, pulled threads and some "glue" or something on the shirt. The overall consesus seems to be that the tailoring has some serious QC issues.

On the head and body: there's been a nose rub and PERS misallignment. Several people have snapped a peg removing the hands to swap out the jacket -- unfortunately you have to remove the hands to swap the jacket. Also, weak knees is a common issue.

Toys2 orders are still a few weeks away from being filled.

Just got notification fromy my local retailer than Joker should be shipping next week. I've been at school and i go home Sunday. I'll be coming home to DX 09 BATMAN , DX 08 JOKER and Enterbay 1/4 T-800 all at once waiting for me to open them....this will be the best homecoming ever!

Is your local retailer Sideshow? I'd be shocked if that notice is accurate since all retailers are waiting for the 2nd part of the split shipment from Sideshow.

But if you get it, let me know because I'll order thru your shop.

You can add that the snaps are crap. Be very very careful with them. Once that tiny little peg breaks off inside, the snap is shot forever.

Pure awesomeness.

Can you get that band any lower on the hat?

Snaps where? That close the shirt and vest?

 

[TheFiend]

Maybe you should ask Marc or Josh.

I've sent them an email.They usually respond fairly quickly. Most times the next day.

Dunno where they all are. I haven't worked up the nerve to undress him yet. I know Michael Crawford mentioned he has them and they break easy. It's the same snaps that are on Scarecrow, and I broke several of those.

I tried ...it doesn't want to budge.

 

[Maglor]

I hot mine down a little further I think.

I used the tip of a small closed scissors to push it down little by little all the way around.

its been real difficult for me to take good pics of the joker without the white of his face getting blown out. so ive been playing a little with my flash and im pretty happy with my second attempt at shooting this evil looking bastard. my battery ran out so i only took a few

 

[highlander1]

Does anyone know for sure we will see another joker version? I want a second head of this one for a custom ..The head sculpt is realy amazing and imagining so many versions that could be put together....tuxedo version/ evil white suit /purple suit/blacksuit/ prison jump suit it's endless....THE Joker look's good...The JOKER didnt ask ha ha........

 

[wavestuff]

i believe there's a thread about a different joker version being released but the veredict is out about whether its flesh makeup joker, young joker, or mime joker

 

[highlander1]

thank's waves nice pics sir....I wish I ya had a chair and a skeleton to recreate board room scene....I found some moveable skeleton jaws on evilbay the other day......love the pic's with his skull trophy....I just might have to throw a suit on a trophy skull..

Just an FYI for those curious, I sent Sideshow the photos I posted here as they wanted to review the problems I had with joker and determine if I'd get replacement or refund, I got the emails last night for the refund process, so it seems unless something is broken, refund is your only option.
