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

Anyone has a Joker they wanna trade - i'll hook you up nicely

Here's my new Joker. Sorry for the bad pic, it's the best I can do for now:

My experiences thus far:

I took off the vest before putting on the coat. I figured that would help make it not so tight when buttoned up. I wonder if the coat was designed before the fat suit and was never altered to take the extra girth into account.

The pegs came out of the arm sockets when I pulled off the hands, so I used one of my wife's hair pins to open up the white sleeve to insert the wrist peg. I was then able to maneuver the sleeve over the peg without too much difficulty after figuring out the best strategy.

I stuffed the shirt with cotton as described earlier in the thread. Immediate improvement.

The tailoring is not very impressive overall when compared to my Harvey Dent and T1 T-800 figures.

The "bang" flag on the gun had loose threads on all sides. I had to trim them off.

The left eye is still higher than the right on this figure, but not nearly as extreme as the one I sent back. In fact, the eyes on this one look more parallel than my Batman's eyes, which were never a bother to me.

Overall, I'm pleased with it so far, but it could have been great if the tailoring was better, there were white wrist pegs instead of the white sleeve to cover them, and the price was more around $215.

So he should be punished because he is young or has a low post count? Neither of which is especially apt, by the way. You totally bemuse me Bat Freak. When people bash you over your undisguised, obviously one-sided 'All things Burton love affair/Bro-mance' you quote your entitlement to an opinion....

...then you bash him for having his, now that is truly worthy.

I also assume that you did not appear on this forum, fully formed with an already 1000+ post count and in truth, if you look at some of the members here then 1000+ is not very much either. Some might say that you too are still a 'newb' compared to some here.

"NEWB" as an insult. You do realise that this usage actually exposes a lot more about you and your closed attitude than it does the actual 'newb'.

And I hate to go all 'Little House On The Prairie' or uber-DISNEY on you, but truth is, most of us can see past our own self imposed barriers and move past them. It's what a person does as they mature, we are all growing emotionally, all the time...well, most of us are.

Very good post man but like Mags said, just ignore batfreak. Trust me, it goes on and on and on. He never stops and jumps at a seconds notice to tell everyone his hatred for anything other than Burton. It's annoying and childish and a little disgusting.

 

[DGTWoodward]

You're all newbs.

So if I am a newb, what does that make you? A 'coffin-dodger'?

Well, in truth, I have been collecting seriously since 2005 and we have over 100 1/6 scale figures from Medicom, SSC, Hot Toys, DCD, Hasbro etc.

But we also have some legacy items, $6M Man, original Mego -sadly not pristine, PALITOY 007 Action-Man, and some Exclusive Premier BABYLON 5 and 007 figures.

You put too much stock in one number, in one single forum my friend.

I do not understand why change Evil face's post to suit your own opinion?

He's only got the one.

this is simply a matter of taste. i loved that they made penguin a sort of half-animal (was he or was just pretending?) mutant type of deformed guy rather then just a really lame little chubby british guy in a "penguin" suit no different then the burgess meredith version. penguin honestly, before burton was never one of my favorite villians cuz he was so boring. burton reinvented him into this tortured almost tragic character but who is still one of the most evil of the batman movie villians, but his revenge tactics, though evil, are justified because of what happened to him as a child. i dont think anyone but burton could have given this rather silly 2d character from the comics as much depth and pathos while also being quite hilarious and over the top villian. some of the most memorable lines are spoken by him in the film. ledgers joker on the other hand....this is a character that is awsome both in the comics as well as the 60's show, there really didnt need to be any tampering with him to make him "up to date" with the times or darker, cuz he already is. when you already have a near perfect joker like nicholson, everyone else just seems pretty dumb in comparison. i expected joker to be more wacky and coolin the new one, not quite like nicholson but still similiar, but i was dissapointed, even upset that they made him into this average serial killer and not the joker. no gags, no jokes really, his laugh SUCKED. i was just very dissapointed and thus i cant watch that movie without thinking "WTF did they do to joker??" everytime.

I can see where you are coming from and I like the idea that the penguin was different to the silly one one in the comics but I still didn't like Burton's Penguin's at all it made me sick and still does to this day. This is why I have only seen batman returns maybe once or twice? I wish they could of reinvented him another way but that is just my opinion.

I really didn't like Jack Nicholson's Joker as it just seemed like Jack was playing himself as he had the same voice same actions same persona like he has in every other film he makes, oh wait he had gags and jokes so that makes him a good Joker? Whereas, Heath transformed himself from a normal person with a deep voice into someone entirely different with a higher voice strange quirky actions, Heath became Nolon's Joker. However, whilst I agree he was not really like the Joker from comics, he was Nolon's Joker, and the in this millennium I think the Joker needed to be updated, despite what you say.

I still like the look of Jack Nicholson's Joker and also agree that as far as the Joker goes from comics, Jack did an ok job but Cesar Romero was the best comic Joker overall.

Well that is my opinion on this matter, I know you didn't like Heath's Joker which is fine, you would rather have comic book Joker and there is nothing wrong with that. IMO the Joker needed to be updated which I believe Nolan's Joker achieved.

What do you mean he only has the one? He changed Evil Post's quote with his own words to suit his opinion.

Exactly. BAT FREAK's only got that one single opinion. He reprints it every time, in all of his own posts and now he even repeats it in other people's posts too, in this case EVILFACE's.

So basically you are saying that you shouldn't even bother to respond to anything BatFreak says. This is because he is always right and if you do not like Burton's disaster of Penguin IMO, he will just keep going on and on about it and change people's quotes? That is _____ked up!

He's jelly.

Excellent pose!

It's up to you if you respond or not, your choice.

BAT FREAK has a very strong personal opinion about the 'Tim Burton version' of the BATMAN universe and he will tolerate no others.

We live in a free West so he is entitled to think that, and he is entitled to say that if he so pleases. It's in his mistaken belief that we want to continually listen to it, that is where he is going wrong.

 

[Batfreak]

oh yeah, in the same way that these nolan fannerds constantly have to say crap like NOLAN IS TEH BEST AND ALL OTER BATMAN MOVIES SUXXX CUZ DEY ARE R OLD & DUM.


like i said, NEWBS. sick of them. im sick of hearing the constant "nolan this nolan that" when the fact is not everyone thiks that way. i find it to be pretty one sided here alot of times. you are allowed to say NOLAN RULES BURTON SUX YEEAH but dare you said nolan sucks and that you prefer tim burton or any other directors vision for the character and you get WHAAAAA U HATEIN UR OPINION SUXXX.

stupid. if this is what fan forums, particularly for batman, have become, then i want no part of it.


also like woodward said, if you dont like my opinion then dont listen or read my posts, or put me on ignore. but im sticking to what i say and you better deal with it just like how i deal with yours all the time.

I actually prefer Burton's Batman to Nolans and prefer the first Batman to any of Nolan's films. Nevertheless, I just like Nolan's Joker better, probably not as the Joker, but as a character that could be any villain.

I do not really like Nolan's Bane as he is an average height guy with no muscles, just some weak terrorist?

So I do not really take sides.

 

[Maglor]

I like them both.

You put too much stock in one number, in one single forum my friend.

Pretty sure DiFabio was making a funny.

 

[DiFabio]

Okay kiddies, I'll settle this.

Both Burton and Nolan Batman films and characters suck. Schumacher is the best.

 

[Maglor]

This time DiFab was dead serious.
