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

[FDBMath]

I get mine today. Looking forward to completing my Joker shelf... until HT and/or SSC release a comic-based Joker (Killing Joke version would rock) or an Arkham Asylum version...

 

[Snake Plissken]

The lights on mine only move independantly.

Besides new feet I guess I need a new stand

This is getting very tiresome with ____ing Hot Toys. You always need to scavange for parts.

I'm getting mine sometime this evening.

So is there any reason you need the hand sock over the peg? Or can you remove it and put it in over the sock?

That's what I've been doing.


Like I said, I might just paint the wrist pegs white.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Are the wrist pegs standard flesh color? If so, odd choice. Should be white.

If you paint them they'll make lock up over time, or chip and flake.

There must be white hand pegs somewhere.

 

[Maglor]

Yeah, they're flesh colored.

I really should take pictures of it since it can't properly addressed in words.

It's basically a white sock, under the sleeve of his shirt/coat that covers the wrist and has a small port for the nub that goes into the hand port.

When I was trying to remove the right hand, didn't realize it at the time but the peg wasn't attached to the wrist and was loose in the sock. Now it looks slightly torn but not bad at all.

The left peg on my came completely out of the wrist socket. This evening, I need to use tweezers to open up the sock hole and get the peg in the wrist and allow the sock to drape over it and only the hand nub to stick out.

I don't even know how the sock thing is attached to the figure. I'm guessing it's stiched into the sleeve of the shirt?

I also just got a shipment notification of my new feet from Toy Anxiety, I hope their tighter than the ones I got.



By the way, they should be embrassed for how ____ing cheap the hat is.

Thanks for the explanation, sorry to hear the aggravation in your voice.

I fear the same experience for me tonight, hope not though.

Maybe the white sleeves are part of the fat suit.

LMFBO!!!!

Maglor's Joker head. We hardly knew ye.

Just be very careful and try to grab the peg in the wrist socket to keep it from being yanked out when you change hands. If you don't mind them coming out no big deal. Just it would seem like a nightmare to have to constantly prep the sock before you stick it in hahaha.

I still think they could have made a unique true type body that had a little more girth around the torso and thighs. Cast it in stark white with white hand pegs and it would have been perfect.

I'm not fond of the fat suit (especially where the head/neck meets the collar) and I don't like the sleeves. It's just annoying to pose and futz.

If there's a cop out way to do something, you can almost bank on HT taking it

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sad but true all too often. They get so many things right that its frustrating when you catch the cheap-outs.

Your right. They made a name for themselves making great 1/6 products. Now, how do we make it cheaper and make these idiots buy our products at a higher cost?

Yeah hi Peter. Were doing away with the new true type body for Joker so were going to essentially be putting in tissues under the clothing. Did you get the memo?

 

[DiFabio]

That's one thing I noticed in everyone's collections, including my own. This Joker has quite the presence in a display. I don't know if it's the vibrant colors or what but he just steals the show on the shelves.

I have a ton of figures but man, the Batman/Joker combo certainly is an attention getter. There's just this certain iconography with the two of them.

That's why I'm sort of disappointed with the little areas they skimped out on. He's just a few issues away from being absolutely perfect.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's such a great pose.

I'm really torn on which look to go for: the classic Joker with tailcoat or the parade version with trench coat (my favorite but it covers up a lot of the outfit).

 

[Rambler]

There are so many poses to choose from in this threat. I have no idea which one I'm going with, but it appears it won't matter. This figures looks great.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

Luckily this is only my second HT figure (DX09 being my first) and I do not have the critical eye that most of you do. My Bats has a left ankle that makes me scratch my head a bit as it feels "broken" or out of place, but overall I love the figure.

I guess what I'm getting at is a year or two from now I will look at my Joker and say "why the F didn't I see this? Screw this..." but for now he will sit upon my shelf with Bats smiling away.

 

[Snake Plissken]

You need to open up the stand completely to make sure that the wires are situated properly. Yes, the lights are supposed to move independently. However, on mine, a wire was wrapped around a peg instead of going straight across to the other side making it impossible to have both lights situated inwards towards the figure. I could move one in, but when I went to do so to the other one the first would point back out again.

It's really easy to just take off the four screws, remove the bat plate and wedge open the stand to access the interior. It's all simply laid out inside as well.

Definitely going to give that a shot before I dump 30$ for another stand. Thanks man, I will post my results tonight.
