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

[batfan08]

Agree on the hat, Pants could go either way IMO, but if it's an easy fix, the more accurate, the better.

 

[Avenger]

Yeah... I know...It has been discussed... That doesnt mean that the DX base looks good and again for what this costs I'm hoping for something nicer...if it doesnt come with anything nicer so be it but given the fact recent DX's have more of a diarama feel to them, i.e. Indy, BL, Jack Sparrow and since 89 Joker is the most expensive single DX figure I would like a nicer stand. 2 PO'd by the way.

They could do a stand based on the 200th birthday cake float.

Fixed.

This is a great idea.

 

[Guinnessfan]

This is a great idea.

Agreed

 

[haytil]

The price is due to his face exclusive to ht and his expensive price on his name

I don't understand where this comes from. Nicholson gets a cut of the merchandising profits. That means ultimately that WB makes less from mechandising than they normally would (as the reserve a portion for JackNicholson). It does not mean that anything to do with the Joker costs more to license.

God damn. I want it... NOW!

Be careful what you wish for boy. Have you seen the recent half-cooked Classic Pred from HT?

 

[Customikey]

Really excited about this! Now all I need is a DeVito Penguin and a Romero Joker to make my Bats dreams come true.

Yeah I don't know what happened there, but what a difference...I still like it but the proto's paint apps looked way better...I don't think we'll see a drop off in the quality on Joker...it's a DX, it's pricey, the likeness is about as perfect as can be, and I'm confident with that especially since Sparrow came out looking fantastic.

If 89 Batman/Joker come out with the same level of quality as Sparrow/Superman, especially Sparrow, I will

Well, Indy's a DX too right?

 

[S. Griffin]

You have a point, but Indy's proto looked like ass. This does not.

 

[batfan08]

Just out of curiosity, can Nicholson revoke their right to use his likeness if their product comes out poorly. If so, that's even more of a reason for HT to make this thing perfect. Considering how difficult it was for them to attain his likeness rights, I don't think they'd want to screw that up.

 

[Customikey]

I don't think they ever set out to make a substandard figure. Things just happen that way. Making figures is a multi-level process.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Are you guys making comments on the pictures posted a few pages back? The Proto pictures seem to have a blue hue to his face the bring out the details and contours. The pictures from a few pages back look to be all white hiding the “details and contour” information.

 

[S. Griffin]

Those pictures are of the prototype, too. I've seen it in person.


Amazing what lighting can do, huh?

So tease us!!! How does it look in person? I am very excited about this figure!

 

[S. Griffin]

Amazing and perfect (aside from that hat) IMO. Best damn looking figure I've ever seen and the highlight of my Comic Con experience. How's that?
